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? From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood, this thrilling new series is perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan and Melinda Leigh. What readers are saying about Dark Angel: "Wow, wow, wow! What a thrill ride... Fantastic...

This was an excellent introduction to a new series, and straightaway you buy into Beth and what she is doing, even if it isn’t by the book! This book moves along at pace and you just do not want to put it down. I can’t wait for the opportunity to continue with this series.

This was my first book by this author but based on the excellent plotting, characters and the storyline it certainly won’t be my last. You shouldn’t like what Beth is doing but she quickly has you on side and you are supporting her all the way. I also felt the narration in this one was very strong, with a good narrator and for me this only added to the book.

I am happy to recommend this book to others, especially if they enjoy high quality crime fiction.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. ( )

Dark Angel by D.K. Hood
Detective Beth Katz #1

Definitely fiction and not terribly believable at times but an interesting look at a, to me, rather big “what if”. What if a psychopathic serial killer with the motive of eradicating evil serial killers became an FBI agent and used access to files to track her evil prey down.

What I liked:
* The plot, pacing, setting, and potential of the story
* Meeting many of the characters that will no doubt show up throughout the series
* The introduction to Beth and her new partner Dax and their get acquainted dance as they begin to work together
* Bear: Belgian Malinois, K-9, rescued by and partners with Dax, highly trained
* The police procedural aspects of the story
* The potential suspects that were offered that might be the killers
* That the Pied Piper serial killer was eventually arrested
* Wanting to know more about the supporting characters
* Wondering how the series will be developed and move forward

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Wondering how Beth, if really a psychopathic serial killer, would be hired by the FBI and then wondering if perhaps she is NOT then what is she really

Did I like this book? Yes, mostly
Would I read more in this series? I think so, though I did miss book two in the series so maybe not

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Special Agent Beth Katz is exceptional. She is also a serial killer intensely focused on the monsters who prey on children. The FBI is unaware of this aspect of her life but send her off to the wilds of Montana to work with Agent Dax Styles who is an unrepentant loner who always gets the job done. Except for this one particular serial killer who has been around a very long time and has moved into Montana.
Voice actor Lauryn Allman is an interesting choice as narrator whose best talent is ratcheting up the tension.
I requested and received a free temporary audiobook from Bookouture Audio from NetGalley. Thank you. ( )

Beth is a psychopath. She tells us this at the very beginning of the story. Her father was a serial killer, and he caused something to be broken within her. But she has honed her psychopathy for vengeance and has pledged to take down all serial killers, sometimes killing them herself (yes, like Dexter). She is the Tarot Card killer, named became she leaves behind Tarot cars near the victims. She even becomes an FBI agent to be able to track them down.

She and her partner are assigned to a case in a small town in Montana, where a school girl goes missing. It becomes clear that there's a killer at work, the Pied Piper, who is using tricks to lure innocent children to come to him.

This was really neat. I always love morally dubious characters. I loved Dexter, so of course I loved Beth another "good" psychopathic murderer.

4.5 stars rounded up. Thank you Bookouture Audio for giving me an advanced review copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. ( )
