This was my first book read by Lacey Baker. Between the characters and Lacey’s phenomenal story, Lethal Reunion knocked my socks off. I’m excited to read more from Lacey.

I received an advanced copy of this book from Harlequin - Romance via NetGalley.

The stakes are high in this thriller as Halle Jefferson faces chilling threats and a gunshot at her high school reunion, marking the return of her twin sister’s killer after 15 years. Thrust back into danger, Halle must confront her past while teaming up with her former high school sweetheart, Sheriff Kyle Briscoe, to uncover the truth and stop a relentless murderer before they both become the next victims.

While the premise promises nail-biting suspense and emotional stakes, the execution falls short. The story kicks off at breakneck speed, but the rushed pacing leaves much of the plot feeling underdeveloped and the events forced rather than organic. The central characters, Halle and Kyle, also lack the depth needed to carry such a high-stakes story. Their dynamic feels underwhelming, and neither has the charisma or complexity to truly pull the reader into their journey. As a result, the emotional tension that should elevate the romance and mystery falls flat.

While the book does deliver moments of intrigue and suspense, it ultimately struggles to live up to its thrilling premise. For those looking for a fast-paced, light read with a dash of romance and danger, this might hit the spot—but don’t expect it to leave a lasting impression.
