Really good series. I enjoy the anticipation of sitting down with each book. I have not been disappointed yet. This story is very cleverly written and full of suspense with some great twists. I was kept guessing right up to the end.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

I’d like to thank Bookouture and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘Promises In The Dark’, book ten in the Detectives Kane & Alton series and written by D K Hood, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

A man dressed in black and wearing a balaclava breaks into the Wood household. He restrains them with zip ties taking their daughter Sophie with him, and as he drives away he sets off explosions in the house that destroy the property and shock the neighbourhood. FBI Special Agents Jo Wells and Ty Carter are alerted and call in Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Dave Kane to work with them. They soon realise that the explosive used to blow up the house is identical to that used in the bombing in DC that killed Kane’s wife Annie. Could it be the same person who’s committed both crimes?

I can’t believe that ‘Promises In the Dark’ is book number ten as the series gets better and better as it goes on and the storyline is just as fresh and exciting as it was at the beginning. Catching up with Jenna and Kane, together with the recent addition of FBI Agents Jo Wells and Ty Carter, is like meeting up with old friends and although this book can be read as a standalone I’m glad I’ve been following their exploits from book one. The plot is well-constructed and convincing with plenty of excitement, drama, suspense and action, and although there are a number of dubious suspects to keep the brain on overdrive, I finally managed to work out the identity of the perpetrator. The final pages where Jenna risks life and limb are breathtakingly exciting and I’ve been kept glued to my Kindle. I love this series so please, Ms Hood, don’t stop writing as I need to know where the relationship between Jenna and Kane is going.

Book 10 in what has now become the serial killers favourite place to live although Black Rock Falls had been experiencing an unusually quiet time allowing the team some much needed downtime, this however soon changes when a call is received asking them to work alongside the FBI in the hunt for a girl missing when her families house exploded

Yet another undertakers dream when bodies start turning up but as with all the others in this series we know this is just part and parcel of our favourite detectives working their way to catching the killer, highly recommended

Be prepared to start the case from the moment you enter Kane & Alton's world. Every case is intense and multi faceted which makes for a whirlwind investigation. Kidnapped girls, fires, bombs and revenge are all part of this rollercoaster ride.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this arc

Took my breath away! This series is the gift that keeps on giving long after I finish the book. Another fantastic story line. Explosive, all encompassing emotional train ride. Twist, turns and a surprise at the end that not only made Jenna gasp, but me too. If you like suspense and reading books that make you feel the horror, the anguish the hope this is the series for you. If you haven't read them yet go grab book 1. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but why deprive yourself. I will say I figured out who was behind it, which is a fluke, because D.K.Hood has so many tricks up her sleeve that I am usually wrong but how it was all connected, what it meant to all was heart wrenching. Thank you D.K.Hood, thank you Bookouture and Net Galley for the is awesome opportunity to read and review. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions and highly recommend this series.

This is the latest installment in one of my favourite series, Kane and Alton. I love the character development and the chance to see the emotional side of Kane. In this one, a house explosion and a missing girl, see Jenna and Dave working with the FBI to hunt for a killer. There are plenty twists and suspense as well as a personal involvement for Kane as he is pushed to breaking point. Lots to keep the reader engrossed and another great read from the author. I definitely recommend this series. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Note to self never start a book by this author when you go to bed , i was up till 2am reading it. I love the interaction between Kane and Alton and bringing in two other great characters to work alongside them in the shape of jo and Carter gives the series scope to expand and give them their own series. Al of them come together to find out ho is behind the heinous crimes that have rocked BlackRock Falls yet again. A great thriller that will give the reader immense pleasure from page one. A series of books that goes from strength to strength and of characters that have evolved and got better throughout .

This series goes from strength to strength. In my opinion this is her best book so far. I actually say this about each book in this series. One of top series to read. I have been with Kane and Alton from the beginning. I feel as though I know the team and Black Rock Falls sounds idyllic. Serial Killers seem to gravitate to this beautiful setting and it is upto Jenna, Kane, Wolfe and her team to stop them.
In this book the past of one of her team comes rushing back. It is now personal. The tension and suspense is really ramped up. Constantly holding my breath and sat on the edge of my seat. Plenty of heart in your mouth moments and I literally have no nails left. This book is that good!!!! Fast paced and for me crime thriller par excellence. A well deserved five stars, it really deserves more. Another gripping addition in this very addictive series. Loved it!!!!!
Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for the ARC in return for giving an honest review.

Detective Kane and Alton book 10.
Can be read alone, but would read others to learn their dynamic.
Long involved book. Thriller, graphic in parts
Good writing,but a bit to intense for me. 3.85

AWESOME crime thriller. The investigation of an arsonist/murderer rackets up the suspense & resolves the heartbreak Dave has been carrying over his deceased wife Annie. Superb series, with lots of guessing who the culprit is. Great characters & fabulous story lines in all of D K Hoods' books. . RECOMMEND the total series. Thanks to NetGalley & Bookouture for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this gripping book

oh my word, i love this series being back in the world of kane and alton and man this book is gruesome and gripping....

a family held hostage but when kane and alton arrives there is nothing left of the scene, it has been totalled, 3 dead body remain with evidence of zip ties around their ankles

wolfe has his work cut out for him and before long jo and carter join in the hunt for the murderer who seems to have links with bombing in dc....

oh my word this book...its nasty in places but oh sooo good and will keep you reading right to the end...oh that last chapter had me in tears...

cant wait for the next book in this brilliant series...

Another amazing book in the Alton & Kane series. Even though this is book 10 the series just seems to keep getting better. A real rollercoaster of a ride with a few suspects to work out the culprit. A fast paced story with twists and turns that kept me guessing I love the relationship between Jenna & Dave and hope something more than a working relationship develops finally. I can’t wait for the next book!!!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Bookouture for an advance copy of Promises in the Dark, the tenth novel to feature Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy David Kane of Blackwater Falls, Montana.

The Woods family home in neighbouring Louan is blown up and 15 year old Sophie Woods kidnapped. Jenna and Dave are asked to assist in the investigation and are shattered when links are found to Dave’s past. When Sophie’s body is found and another girl taken they realise that the killer won’t stop unless they catch him/her.

I thoroughly enjoyed Promises in the Dark which is a high octane thriller with plenty of twists and turns. I though the previous novel lacked a little oomph but this is a welcome return to form with tension, action and a well concealed perpetrator. I liked the slow but steady drip of reveals which culminates in an action packed resolution.

The novel is mostly told from the investigative point of view with a few chapters devoted to the killer’s thoughts. I found these latter illuminating in terms of the plot, but basically it’s just another crazy venting about injustice.

It would seem that FBI Agents Jo Wells and Ty Carter are to become regular characters in the series. They are welcome additions, bringing even more skills to what is probably the most qualified Sheriff’s department in the country.

Promises in the Dark is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

Another great story from D K Hood, featuring Detectives Jenna Alton and her partner Dave Kane. As usual keeps the reader guessing and wondering where the story is going leading to an intriguing finale. One wonders whether this pair will become more than just partners in work?

First off I want to say a big thank you to thank Bookouture for inviting me to join the blog tour for this book as well as letting me read and review .And for letting me continue on with this series .And a big thanks to NetGalley as well. Because for one Bookouture is one of my all time favorite publishers for thrillers and second as soon as I saw that they had announced this book on their facebook page Bookoutre Anonymous I knew I was going to request it, even though I've only read so far one book from this series , that one book made me hooked on this series, and other thing is I love reading about 2 of my all time favorite characters in any series and that's Kane and Alton . Plus I love how their town always seems to be a heaven for series killers , and the way the author writes about the town makes it sound like its a nice place but not a place I would want to either live or visit. For me this series is also great because I can get lost in the story and set back and just read .

We are back in Black Rock Falls and for the first time it seems like it’s a village like any other village. Nothing really seems to happen at the moment and normally Jenna and her team don’t know where to start first. They are all a bit bored. It’s not that they want something bad to happen to someone but they feel lost and then all hell breaks loose…
An ice cold case that suddenly turns into a red hot one and the author has me in her grip once again.
A killer who seems to be as slippery as a bar of soap gives the police force a run for their money and the clock is ticking like a timebomb…
Another cracking good story that establishes once more why I like this author so much. This time I must have been extra alert, because I figured out who the culprit was. Two little words made a click in my head and bingo. Woohooo. For once one plus one made two and not three as usual 😉
Already looking forward to the next instalment. 5 stars

Thank you, D.K. Hood and Bookouture

Number 10 in the Kane & Alton series and I honestly think this is the best one yet.
What a rollercoaster of a read. The main and sub plots really collide here and the pace never lets up. Three or four suspects are identified with two prominently and it’s a race against time to get enough evidence to charge them. Brilliant characters that feel like you know them personally. Nice to see the newer characters in the series Jo & Carter having bigger roles this time but the pièce de résistance has to be the unveiling of the villain. A brilliant addition to this excellent series

Promises in the Dark by D.K Hood is the tenth book in this author's Detectives Kane and Alton series. This is another edge-of-your-seat nail-biter with a seriously sick serial killer. This time Detectives Alton and Kane are join the case of FBI agents Jo Wells and Ty Carter. They are desperate and working non-stop to find and stop a serial killer who sets bombs which kill families restrained by him in their homes. Plus the sicko kidnaps and rapes their teenage female family members. The four work tirelessly to track down this madman. I totally enjoyed following along on their investigation. It's always a wild ride investigating serial killers with Jenna Alton and Dave Kane.

Promise in the Dark is book 10 in the Kane and Alton series and it is explosive...literarily . If you haven’t worked out by now, Black Rock Falls is a serial killer heaven and book 10 doesn’t let up on that front. I love these characters and the town, but I would not want to visit there!

Things have been a bit quiet n Black Rock Falls, giving Jenna, Dave and Shane some well needed down time. But that is all about to change when they get a call from their friends at the FBI, asking them to work on a case with them. A house explosion that kills a family starts the hunt for the missing daughter. Once they are able to get inside they see that the family were tied up before the bomb went off. It is the beginning of an actioned packed story, full of action on the hunt of a ruthless killer. But what is is motive? Who is killing families and why.? They have to find the answer to stop him.

Once again there is no shortage of bodies and suspense. There is also a personal connection for Dave Kane. A chance for him to find out what happened in his past, something that has haunted him for years.

This series is heating up and keeps getting better. Another 5 star read for this crime and thriller junkie.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book to read.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this advanced copy of the latest story set in and around Black Rock Falls. This series gets better and better and this latest takes you on one helluva roller coaster of emotions. The action never lets up from the first page to the last. You are immediately engaged in the story and D K Hood has a great ability to literally drag you into the action. I cannot wait for the next in this fantastic series. Totally gripping and a real page turner of a book. 5 stars all the way.
