I recently reviewed the book 'Love Me to Death' by Allison Brennan. I liked it so much so I threw myself over the rest of the books in the series (Kiss Me Kill Me, If I Should Die, Silenced, Stalked, Reckless and Stolen). The books are just soooo good I can't stop reading. The stories are absolutely fantastic, so thrilling with many different layers and I can't remember when I read such suspense novels last. Maybe the books of Henning Mankell can match. There you also have a story and a suspense that makes it difficult to put down the book.

This is a series of books and like with the Sookie Stackhouse novels it is a continuing story that covers a shorter period. Where one book ends the next one takes up. That makes you feel like part of the family and you follow the development of the relationship between Lucy and Sean and their relationship with their respective families and jobs.

It seems there is a new trend in writing series with characters that belong to a tight family or 'clan'. I am thinking of the Sookie Stackhouse novels and the Twilight series for example. I am sure there are other books out there with the same setting. The persons within the family or clan help each other and there is a goodwill feeling of caring about each other. It is a nice change to all those stories where people seem to only want to hurt others.

This book sees Sean Rogan go undercover for the FBI and is set to join his former hacker gang. Lucy meanwhile is making her training with the FBI. Neither Lucy, nor his family, understands what is happening. The job is not a clear cut as it seems and as usual other actors have other plans. Thrilling as it can be!

I said in my earlier review of the books that I thought they had something of the books of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. There is the same day to day, hour to hour scheme of the story and the whole set is only covering days or a week. I just finished the last book of the series 'Stolen' which was so exciting that I had to force myself to stop reading at 2.30 a.m.! The stories are seen from the perspective of different persons and I find myself thinking or screaming in my head 'don't do it, don't do it' when the heroine or the hero is doing something because they don't know as much as I do. It is all very thrilling.

Allison Brennan (her home page http://www.allisonbrennan.com/) is like Charlaine Harris a very idle writer. She writes about three books a year and she has five kids! Where does she get the time? Apart from the Lucy Kincaid books she writes books referred to as Romantic thrillers, Supernatural thrillers and Short stories. The next book in the series (I can hardly wait) is called 'Cold Snap' and will be out in October.

Review from my book blog thecontentreader.blogspot.com

It seems that every time I now go into the Kobo books web-site I find another book to purchase. Perfect with the E-Reader, then you can start reading right away. The summary of the latest book in the series of Lucy Kincaid 'Stolen' by Allison Brennan drew my attention. I realised quickly that this is a series so looked for the first book. I downloaded 'Love Me To Death' and finished it over two days. This was really a surprisingly good suspense book.

It tells the story of Lucy Kincaid, her PI boyfriend to be Sean Rogan, FBI agent Noah Armstrong, other family members and agents. Such a book could easily become a cliché but Allison Brennan manages to keep the whole book within all limits. While reading I was thinking of good old fashioned thriller books 'noir' like the books of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Mike Hammer and filmed versions like 'The Maltese Falcon' and 'The Big Sleep'. The story is really exciting and is moving forward all the time.

We get to know that six years earlier Lucy Kincaid was held hostage, beaten, raped, filmed for videos to use on the internet and almost died in the process. She came out of it alive and has spent the last six years to get over her trauma. She now has her university degree in computer science and psychology, is working on voluntary bases with an organisation helping abused women and is dreaming about an FBI job. All her family is already working with law enforcement and her boyfriend to be is a partner with her brother in a security firm which is on a borderline between legal and illegal activities.

The story starts when one of her abusers who came out of prison after only six years is killed in a way that seems like an execution. FBI agent Noah Armstrong get the job to try to find out what happened. Parallel Lucy has a voluntary job with an organisation that tries to track sex criminals who have been let out of prison. Normally these offenders should register as such where they are now living. In most cases this is not done and they continue to abuse. Her job is to find them via chat sites and set up a meeting. Once the meeting is set up they will arrest them and use the chat as evidence and put them back in prison. Just by chance she finds out that half of the people she has been monitoring has been killed rather than arrested. On top of this somebody is stalking her.

It might sound like a simple story but it is very well told and is really exciting. The characters are well drawn and all stay within limits and do not crumble to clichés. The story is told from different persons angles and perspectives which also adds to the thrilling sense. I can really recommend this one and it is just a matter of a short time before I buy and download the second one 'Kiss Me Kill Me'.
