Mariëtte Whitcomb – Orca

Synopsis

If you prey on the innocent, I’m coming for you.

War didn’t change me… Four months as the enemy’s captive did. I returned home broken, scarred, the call to combat echoing in my soul. Haunted by the deaths of my squad, a darkness festers inside me, set on vengeance.
Seven little girls died at the hands of the Angel Taker. He thinks himself invincible, taunting the police and the families of his victims with letters. If the police can’t stop him, I will. I’m not bound by man-made laws. Starting with the Angel Taker, I will hunt him and every other vile predator down. The dark web won’t keep them safe; I’m not afraid of the abyss.  

I don’t care if this path destroys me, or the police realise a woman is responsible for the bodies found hanging across the city. The victims deserve freedom, and their deaths avenged.

Soon I find myself in the crosshairs of the Marcel Sniper. The worst he does – kiss me. As sure as my name is Finley D. Williams, that kiss is the best I’ve ever had. Perhaps I’m not alone in this fight after all…

My Review

‘Orca’ by Mariëtte Whitcomb is a book that, once I began there was no going back! I have read all genres and they have included dark books but, this one, I think is something completely different. The cover of this book was what first attracted me to it and it turned out the pages held a story that was so vivid it kept me, right there…almost on the edge of my seat for a portion of the book, it felt that way anyway.

Mariëtte is a brand new author for me, so I truly had no idea what to expect. I needn’t have thought about it, she has so cleverly created her characters to a depth that you can sense their personalities and they seem like they could actually be someone you know. Her plotting has been so skilfully constructed bringing it to life from the pages almost like it’s in front of your very eyes.

I always love it when a new story catches your imagination and am hoping there will be another instalment soon.

Thank you to Emma of Damp Pebbles Blog Tours for my place on this tour and the book for my review.
