4.5stars!
There are times when as an avid reader just looking at the title itself might turn me off and then others times i take chances because of the author -- well, i took that kinda chance with this book and was blown away by the storytelling. 'KISS SHOT' is Carolyn Elizabeth's newest novel featuring Street Crimes Detective Lucy 'Lucky' Sorin (also a very good pool player), her protege & motherly figure Captain Curran, Mira Allen and many many secondary characters (some good, bad & indifferent).
The story is one of those compelling, one-sit read -- which i slowed down to savor --- that will keep interested readers wondering what's gonna happen next from page to page. I should not be that surprise with how well-plotted and crafty this book is because her storytelling in the medical mystery (Curtis & Reynolds) series is arguably her most highly regarded books. Also, 'KISS SHOT's narrative is infused with some nifty writing, no holds barred law enforcement agencies activities, persistent intense action, smart plotting, razor-sharp characterizations, dangerous & merciless gang members and with all this taking place in slither this nicely developed love story.
Readers looking for an exciting, euphoric and remarkably well written story, look no further -- Carolyn Elizabeth's 'KISS SHOT' should be at the top of your must-read-list. It's that good.
A highly recommended book!
