Color of Danger by Alexa Verde

5.0

Bless her, poor Mari has had time of it! As you will find out when this book starts, Mari had a hand in her brother's death. That would be hard enough, but added to the issue is the fact that her brother was a serial killer. Known as the Smiling Killer, Mari has borne the sigma of being his sister for a long time. Is the killer just wanting to torment Mari more than she has been already, or is Mari's life in danger? Is Mari all she said she is, or seems to be?

Mari is character I really liked for her spunk. She is strong and sassy, but yet very human. Nowa was another character I liked, and then there is Luke. Ah, the good doctor who is virtually a PI and bodyguard as well as an amazing guy. The dialog between Luke and Mari was often humorous and always interesting, even when Mari did things that made me want to scream. There is plenty of fast moving suspense as a possible copy-cat killer is causing all kinds of issues.

While I did figure out who the killer was, I still enjoyed every page of this book. Faith, forgiveness, and healing were all strong themes in this book, as well as dealing with fear, anger and finding hope and stability and coming to terms with where some of the main characters really stood with God. Oh, and wait till you find out why it's called "The Color of Danger." There is a very good reason for that. It's my first book by this author, and it's well worth the five stars.

My copy came from Celebrate Lit in exchange for my honest review and nothing more.
