- I swear Dannika Dark is like crack and Nicole Poole is her dealer. Dark writes fantastic characters and engaging worlds and storylines. Poole magically brings them all to life creating the perfect pairing. I love when each character has a distinct voice and personality. Our heroine Raven Black and her partner Christian Poe along with the rest of the members of Keystone handle unsolved murders, kidnappings and breed crimes others can't or won't.
- Raven is such a cool protagonist. From her backstory to the growth we witness in each installment. You cannot help but love her, laugh with her, and become caught up in her emotions. She is bright, tenacious, and a total kickass. Better yet, she does not whine. Hallelujah!
- The cases the Keystone group tackle delivered action-packed scenes, near death moments and all kinds of supernatural creatures. The stories have a realistic feel woven into the paranormal aspects, and I like that they are fully developed. In Deathtrap, we tackle children being sold on the black-market. Dark sheds light on this series crisis while entertaining the reader.
- What makes Dark such a phenomenal author and this series a standout are the characters. I've become a member of Keystone and become wholly caught up in the back and forth banter, support and inner workings of this dynamic group. I laughed aloud, screamed at my audio player, and giggle-snorted as I listened. I subjected my hubby to verbal diarrhea as I quoted and shared. If I am going to sacrifice sleep, it will be to hear just one more chapter.
- There is a slow-building, deliciously sweet, banter-filled, witty and OMG so freakin' hot romance developing between Raven and Christian. For fans of Dark, we met Poe in the Mageri series, and I for one just adore this smexy vampire. These two are walking a thin, dangerous line, and I loved every tidbit, thread and moment.
- The overall series ARCs and developments add to the cases keeping readers fully engaged and eager for more.
