Detective Suzanne Eviston, Special Assault Unit, Everett, Washington says this: "Loving the book! Especially the killer talking in first person...great!" 

In this fast paced, character driven murder mystery set in the Pacific Northwest and told from multiple first person points of view, The Avenger gruesomely murders wealthy, prominent men accused of sexual crimes. 

Hot tempered Sergeant Nita Slowater, ticked off about being assigned as the second-in-command of the Special Crimes Team--widely regarded as the Siberia of Law Enforcement--immediately clashes with her superior, Lieutenant Michael Williams, a man known to bend the rules. 

As the body count rises, The Avenger contacts Dawn Samira an investigative reporter. Nita is assigned as liaison with the pushy lesbian, but a reporter got her best friend killed and Nita is in no mood to play nice. 

The only bright spot in Nita's life is her unlikely friendship with a homeless, black artist known as Molly the Pack Lady. When Molly suddenly dies, Nita is willed all of the old woman's art. Unknown to Nita, hidden within Molly's sketchpads is the key to the killer's identity. 

Nita must uncover the killer's identity before an innocent man becomes The Avenger's next victim.All Rights Reserved

Saving Scarlett- 18+ (PREVIEW) by luluwaters27

18+Explicit sexual scenes. Very graphic scenes of murder, rape, and drug use. Read at your own discretion. Scarlett Daniels grew up in the system after her parents died from a drug overdose when she was ten years old. Once she turned 18 years old, she ran from the state as fast as she could and started living her own life. Except it wasn't a grand life as she had once dreamed of. Her life now consisted of dancing on poles, answering to a man who tried to own her and living with a best friend who ends up murdered in their apartment. Duke Harvey had a decent childhood; his parents were loaded and he had everything he ever wanted. Until he attended college and the only woman he thought he could trust stabbed him in the back and showed up after several weeks of silence, in a body bag. His entire picture on life changed then and he put his rich-boy shoes away and became a homicide detective. He wanted bad men like the one that hurt his only love to pay for their sins. When Scarlett and Duke meet for the first time, sparks fly and clothes come off. And one chance meeting turns into another until her friend ends up murdered and Duke becomes the lead detective. Now Duke must protect Scarlett from the bad guy while protecting her from himself at the same time. But an insatiable lust blossom's between the two that neither expected to happen. Not only does Duke want to save Scarlett from a wicked and toxic life, but he secretly wants to save himself in the process. Love wasn't a word he used in his vocabulary but something about this woman makes him second guess everything he's believed about love until this point. But one question sticks out in his mind over everything else: is he even capable of love?

Why were you there? You shouldn't of been there?" She took out her badge and shoved it in his face.

Tessa Stark: Desert Heat by TinaBledsoe7

Special Detective Tessa Stark is called to the dusty desert town of Santa Maria to investigate the death of a local socialite and very soon finds herself with a sizable list of suspects. Wading through that list is going to be daunting task, especially given that the victim's uncle, a powerful United States Senator, doesn't trust that she can find the killer. But, perhaps even more daunting than solving a case that seems unsolvable, is having to face a piece of her past that she'd been avoiding for the last fifteen years. She can't allow the past to get in the way of her investigation, though. A young woman had been killed and a family had been left grieving, without answers and without justice. And who better to hunt down the killer and help the family begin to heal than the daughter of the infamous Robert Stark. After all, murder was in her DNA.
