It’s almost midnight as she steps onto the icy sidewalk. There isn’t a soul in sight, as the young woman hurries toward her car. She barely has time to take a breath before a strong hand grips her tightly and her world goes dark…

It’s Christmas in Black Rock Falls, and Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy David Kane are called to a local bar where school teacher Ellie McBride has stumbled in covered in bruises, saying she just escaped a kidnapping. Jenna is determined to catch the man, but as she watches the CCTV footage, something doesn’t add up. Why is Ellie missing from the recording? Did the kidnapper manipulate the footage to cover his tracks?

Days later, when a deadly message is written on the whiteboard in her classroom, it’s clear Ellie isn’t out of danger. This is personal. And Jenna must catch the man responsible. But, when social worker Laney Prescott is reported missing, the case is thrown on its head.

Jenna’s heart breaks when she visits Laney’s small cottage searching for clues only to find her lifeless body on the bedroom floor. But now Jenna is convinced there is a twisted monster in town, and she vows to hunt him down. But how are the two women connected? Jenna is running out of time to catch the killer.

And when heavy snow leaves the small town stranded, Jenna receives an emergency call from Ellie’s school. Ellie’s in trouble… can Jenna save the young woman before it’s too late, or will she pay the ultimate price?

If you love reading Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, you will adore this truly addictive crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood.

**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**

Watch Over Me is the 28th book in the Detectives Kane and Alton series. 28! Just think about that. The fact that D.K. Hood has the skill to ensure the series is still as fresh as it was 27 books ago is truly fantastic!

I have popped in and out of the series, and I have never had a problem keeping up. Each and every book is written so that they can be read as standalones. I always love knowing I have a book in this series to read. It feels like I am returning to friends and family members. That’s how great the character development is.

Tense and gripping, this book is another superb instalment. Christmas is usually a time for festivities—not in Black Rock Falls. Alton and Kane face the issue of women being assaulted, attempted kidnappings, and even murder! They and their team are determined to get to the bottom of it and put the killer behind bars.

This is such an addictive series! From the start, I couldn’t stop reading! The suspense pours from the pages. The vivid storytelling is, as always, on point. With the worry that not everything will go as it should, I was on the edge of my seat with my heart in my mouth as the pages flew by!

It was a rollercoaster of a read. I didn’t guess who the killer was, as D.K. Hood throws plenty into the mix to keep the reader diverted and distracted! This is a series I could read from start to finish, again and again! Highly recommended!
