On the streets of Detroit, it’s the code we live by. You take from me, I take from you. A balance of power, and a ceaseless war between rivals.
Can my review just be – THIS BOOK IS SO AWESOME!! And leave it at that??
Keri Lake easily became a go-to author for me years ago when I read her Sons of Wrath series. She has become my rule of thumb when it comes to grizzly, raw and dark romances. She sets the mark for the perfect blend and balance of suspense, thriller and romance all tide into one brilliant story.
Ballistic is the third book in her Vigilante series, but they can all be read as standalones. However, I highly recommend reading them in order to understand the true storyline behind the whole series.
Dax has been a character I have been long waiting for and Keri did not let us down. However, what differs from this book compared to the others is that the focus is more on the heroine than the hero. Nicoleta has been on Dax’s radar ever since he was unable to save her from being purchased from his target, Tesarik.
I refuse to give any details on this book. This story is dark and twisted. Nicoleta has lived through hell and back; she may appear weak to most, but she is a woman scorned and out for vengeance. She’s not one to be messed with and Dax learns that right from the beginning.
Dax and Nicoleta are the perfect balance for one another but they both have their own agendas. Keri holds nothing back as these two try to work together (sometimes against) – Nicoleta may have been the one seeking out revenge, but Dax was right beside her doing what he can to deliver his own type of vengeance. She may use him to her whim, but it’s not without his own rules added in. But how far is one willing to go to exact vengeance? And at what cost?
“Something was going to happen to me. Captured, killed, or both. If it didn’t, it’d mean I’d failed, and I had no intentions of failing.”
Keri delivers another raw, gritty and suspenseful story that drives us deep into the underbelly of the crime world – where there is no true justice, just vengeance. This is a series that you must read, especially if you love a real and truly gritty suspenseful story.
Keri Lake is a dark romance writer who specializes in demon wrangling, vengeance dealing and wicked twists. Her stories are gritty, with antiheroes that walk the line of good and bad, and feisty heroines who bring them to their knees. When not penning books, she enjoys spending time with her husband, daughters, and their rebellious Labrador (who doesn’t retrieve a damn thing). She runs on strong coffee and alternative music, loves a good red wine, and has a slight addiction to dark chocolate.
