MT Review: The Buried (The Apostles)

 

I've finished "The Buried" the 2nd book in her Apostles series by Shelley Coriell.

Product Description

"It's cold. And dark. I can't breathe."

Successful, ambitious state prosecutor Grace Courtemanche is at the top of her game. Then she gets a chilling call from a young woman claiming to be buried alive. Desperate to find the victim before it's too late, Grace will do whatever it takes even if it means excavating the darkest secrets of her own past and turning to the one man she thought she would never see again.

FBI agent Theodore "Hatch" Hatcher is a man without roots - and that's the way he likes it. But when a grisly crime shatters Cyprus Bend, Florida, Hatch is dragged back to the small town - and the one woman - he hoped was in his rearview for good. Forced to confront the wreckage of their love affair, Hatch and Grace may just find that sometimes the deepest wounds leave the most beautiful scars - and that history repeating itself may just be what they need to stop a killer and save their own hearts.

My Review:

This was a very fast paced suspenseful read!

I didn't like Grace that much because she certainly didn't act like a lawyer and she seemed lost on what to do or act during the book!

I really like how Hatch took responsibility for his son was determined to be there for him in his time of need!  I'm glad he didn't give up when his son gave him attitude!

I really believed why the killer was psycho all because of the environment they grown up in and the experience they went through!

3/5

The Blind (The Apostles)

I've finished "The Blind" the 3rd book in her Apostles series by Shelley Coriell.

Product Description
 
When art imitates death

As part of the FBI's elite Apostles team, bomb and weapons specialist Evie Jimenez knows playing it safe is not an option. Especially when tracking a serial killer like the Angel Bomber. He calls himself an artist-using women as his canvas and state-of-the-art explosives as his brush. His art lives and breathes, and with the flick of a switch dies.

Now as the clock ticks down to his next strike, Evie faces an altogether different challenge: billionaire philanthropist and art expert Jack Elliott, who's made it clear he doesn't care for Evie's wild-card tactics. Jack never imagined the instant heat for the fiery Evie would explode his cool and cautious world-and make him long to protect her. But as Evie and Jack get closer to the killer's endgame, they will learn that safety and control are all illusions. For their quarry has set his sight on Evie for his final masterpiece.

My Review:

Evie was a kickass female who definitely could take care of herself!  She certainly held her own against Jack and doesn't take no for an answer!

It was a pleasure to read the fiery attraction between Evie and Jack and their constant bickering which was hilarious!

4/5
