If you enjoy reading about a strong law enforcement female, then you will love Deputy U.S. Marshal Cady Maddix. Cady is searching for a man who kidnapped a woman and may be responsible for the murder of three children. A fourth child may have been a witness to one of the murders and Cady is determined to catch the killer before it is too late. Cady’s mother is slowly succumbing to Alzheimer’s disease and during one of her lucid moments she mentions something unusual about the murder of Cady’s father from years ago. Due to her past, Cady has trouble allowing men to get close to her, but Ryder Talbot, the Sheriff of Haywood County, is not giving up on them. An exciting and suspenseful mystery as the author guides us to a most satisfying ending. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

The second installment of this series is even better than the first. There is more character development with both Cady and Ryder. The plot is full of suspense and action. There were shocking turns towards the end I never saw coming. The fact that Cady is part of the USMS makes for a unique and intriguing story. It's a nice change of pace from the typical detective book. I look forward to the next book.

The story was interesting enough but nothing grabbed me, there were a few twists which i always like but the emotional component of the story wasn't strong enough for the revelations. I would give it a 3.5

Deputy US Marshall Cady Maddix is back, diving into a twisted investigation while still battling dark memories from her childhood.

I love this author and how she weaves a story. And this one did not disappoint.

I am looking forward to more of her & Sheriff Ryder Talbot too. I love his patience and tenacity when it comes to Cady. Her scars are deep and her baggage heavy!

Bring on more!!!

Down The Darkest Road is book 2 in the Cady Maddix series. I liked both book 1 and 2. Hopefully there will be a number 3. Federal Marshall Cady Maddix has her own past to overcome as well as killers to catch. Her story continues throughout the series.
Thank you to netgalley, the author and publisher for the arc.

This is the second book in the Candy Maddix series. She is a Deputy US Marshal. Her traumatic childhood still effects her to this day. She does have a love interest in Sheriff Ryder Talbot but she is afraid for any commitment.
Dylan whitenesses a horrific act when he is a child. The drug dealer has been after him since then. He and his family have been on the run since then. There are lots of lies and betrayal on all sides. The ending is shocking and I felt so bad for Dylan when he finally remembers the truth. Overall a nice action mystery with a unpredictable ending.

Suspenseful and intriguing. Very well written with exciting characters. Lots of twists and turns before the end. Great second installment in this series. Can’t wait for the next book.

Deputy US Marshall Candy Maddox is back. Her newest case involves Dylan a teenage boy who has been on the run, the target of a criminal for the past 5 years. No sooner do the boy and his Mother get settled and they have to run again to stay alive. Two of Dylan’s friends similar in looks to him have been murdered.

This is the second book in this series but could be read as a stand alone. It is full of edge of your seat suspense and has several twists at the end that I didn’t see coming.
I read it in one sitting, couldn’t stop turning the pages. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Deputy US Marshal Cady Maddix is back and the latest case she is assigned has her sympathizing with the teenage victim as they both lived through traumatic childhoods.

You certainly felt sorry for what Dylan had gone through. The trauma he experienced years ago that left his best friend dead and a killer still on the loose that has had him and his mother and brother constantly moving from town to town after killings of young men who looked like him has him on the edge of sanity. Things only get worse for poor Dylan by the end of the book when huge secrets are revealed.

Cady is a great investigator but sometimes her demons from her childhood mess with her personal and professional life. She does make some good strides in her personal life with Sheriff Ryder Talbot which I was happy to see.

The story was suspenseful and kept you engaged from start to finish and when all the truths about what really happened years ago and today are revealed its both shocking and sad. This author certainly knows how to tell a thrilling story.

Kylie Brant does it again! Great suspenseful book. I doubt I will stop thinking about this one any time soon!

Another book that I had to read straight through. I could not put it down. I love Kylie Brant's writing style and how she pulls you into the story. Poor Dylan has spent his childhood running from a killer and you can not help but feel sorry for all he has been through
