I’m really excited to say I am part of the book tour for the first two books in Detective Beth Katz series, by D.K. Hood. Thanks to Myrto Kalavrezou of Bookouture and NetGalley for the gifted ebooks to join the tour.
Dark Angel.
In the dark pine forest surrounding the quiet town of Rattlesnake Creek, the body of a young girl lies on the ground. Her angelic blonde hair spills over her shoulders and her unblinking eyes stare up toward the sky…
It was Beth Katz’s serial killer father who made her like she is: a successful FBI agent and an unstoppable vigilante dedicated to hunting down murderers who have evaded capture. Beth will push herself to the limits to deliver justice. Even if it means killing those who deserve to die.
When the body of missing schoolgirl Brooklyn Daniels is discovered in a secluded patch of woodland on the outskirts of town, Beth and her partner Dax Styles race to the scene. Brooklyn and her best friend left home to pick wildflowers a week ago and vanished without trace.
Taking in Brooklyn’s body carefully laid on a blanket and the dress neatly folded next to her, Beth suddenly freezes. She’s seen this before: in the files of a cold case. The perpetrator takes two girls—one vanishes, the other is killed and left with her clothes beside her. Now Beth knows she has a twisted serial killer on her hands, she’ll stop at nothing to catch him. Even if it means going against Dax’s orders…
Desperate to find the other missing girl, Beth’s heart pounds as she puts herself up as bait and walks into the secluded forest, knowing evil is lurking nearby. With Dax watching her every move, Beth prays the gamble pays off. Can she outsmart the murderer, or did she just walk into a trap?
And when Beth finally comes face to face with the killer, will she hand him over or serve justice of her very own?
A new series by D.K Hood is one I needed to read and straightaway. Dark Angel is the first book that introduces us to special agent Beth Katz. I couldn’t wait to get to know this new character and see what she was all about!
Set in Rattlesnake Creek, where Beth Katz has been sent to work with Dax Styles. Having a partner is not something she enjoys as she likes to work alone. As they get caught up investigating a big case, she finds she starts to like Dax. Beth has deep, dark secrets, and I was wary for her myself as I was caught up in this book so much.
D.K Hood has always made me feel like the settings are so vivid in her books, and Dark Angel is no different. I felt like I could see what Beth and Dax saw so clearly. The storytelling was just as high quality as her previous series, and I was happy to see a few characters cross over into this book, too.
The plot was packed full of twists and turns with a conclusion I wasn’t expecting. I found myself holding my breath at times as I read. The pages literally flew by, and I finished reading way too soon for my liking… but I did go straight to the second book! A brilliant start to a new series! One I highly recommend.

Shadow Angel (Detective Beth Katz Book 2)
In a dark cabin, a young woman sits totally still. Long dark hair hangs over her shoulders and heavy makeup adorns her pale face. Cherry red lips offer a hint of a smile, but she won’t ever smile again. Her body is already cold to the touch…
When black crows are spotted circling over an abandoned cabin in the woods near Rattlesnake Creek, FBI agent Beth Katz and her maverick partner Dax Styles fear something is very wrong. Beth has been hunting serial killers for years, and as she races to the forest she vows to serve her own form of justice, whatever the cost…
Cassie Durham’s friends reported her missing when she didn’t return home from a local bar a few days ago. Now, Cassie sits in darkness, her last breath taken days before. Beth notices the rouged cheeks and bright blue eyeshadow are nothing like the pictures she’s seen of Cassie alive. Did someone add the heavy makeup and pose her like this after death?
When another woman vanishes from a night out, Beth is convinced a twisted killer is in town. A clue on the dark web leads her to a local late-night hangout. Going undercover, she learns that when both girls vanished they were being watched by someone at the back of the crowded room.
Noticing a man following her every move, Beth knows she has one chance to capture him. With a knife in her pocket and hellbent on saving another innocent life, Beth is already sure she’s going to be the killer tonight. Otherwise she will become his next victim…
Sometimes, a great new series comes along. Almost never the first two books in a great new series are published together! Well! This, my friends, is almost never! Book 2 in the Detective Beth Katz series is here, and I have had the honour of reading it.
I found Dark Angel a great start to getting to know Beth Katz and wondered what Shadow Angel had in store for our dynamic duo, Beth and Dax. I also wanted to carry on getting to know Beth.
This book is easily read as a standalone as the author briefly goes over Beth Katz’s background. Her dad was a serial killer, and he murdered Beth’s mum too. Beth is a woman who will go to any lengths to make sure serial killers are dealt with. She doesn’t stick to the letter of the law either.
Shadow Angel sees Beth Katz going undercover as a pole dancer after two pole dancers go missing. All I will say is, omg! I definitely had my heart in my mouth and blood pressure going upwards! It’s a belter of a read.
Again, the storyline never falters, and I was glued to my Kindle. I do enjoy being witness to a partnership that is growing and gelling well. I am definitely addicted to this series. The strength of the characters, who aren’t exactly run of the mill. They bring a sense of uniqueness to this particular series. Beth is so interesting, with her views and speciality sideline too!
It’s a series that looks like it will go from strength to strength, and I’m one invested blogger. Now, when’s that next book out!! Yet another highly recommended book to this series.
