Dead Keen is the second book in the Things Unseen series, and equally as engrossing! I adored the first book, and I couldn’t wait to get this one. I wasn’t disappointed! Both books are a lovely blend of thriller elements, culty vibes, burgeoning romance, and suspense.

This installment had all those aspects, wrapped in an intriguing cloak of both ancient gods and techy video games. It was an unexpected combination that really worked. It made for a story that was gripping and thoroughly unpredictable! And threaded through all of it is a bit of romance and humor. The characters are so smart, and the story is complex and delicious! A perfect book to lose yourself in!

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Dead Keen, the second book in the Things Unseen series, continues Neve and Connor's adventures. The couple left the shores of the US for Ireland. While there, they are caught in another dangerous situation involving a crazed cult leader.


When Conner received a call from his brother Eamon seeking medical help for his fiancée, Ciara, he returned to Ireland for a visit. His brother's call offered the perfect opportunity for him to catch up with his family while taking a long overdue vacation with Neve. It also provides a means for escaping the residual danger from their last adventure.
On their arrival and after consultation with, Ciara's medical team discovered a connection to video games and a cult. Soon, Neve and Conner found themselves in a game of cat and mouse with a crazed cult leader.

Unlike the previous book, the events in Dead Keen moved at a slower pace. It took a while for the suspense to build up, but when it did, it had me on pins and needles. More of Connor's past came to light, providing insight into his personality. We also see Neve and Connor's relationship, despite there being no time for romantic moments, with danger lurking at every corner. I loved how they supported each other and their willingness to protect each other in the face of danger. Both are stubborn, which made for some interesting moments.

Reading,
Dead Keen, elicited the urge for a trip to Ireland. The author's descriptions made for easy visualization of the Irish countryside.

Dead Keen delivered an engaging read, which will appeal to fans of thrillers.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
