Shadow Angels

Detective Beth Katz, Book 2

By: D. K. Hood

Narrated by: Lauryn Allman

In a dark cabin, a young woman sits totally still. Long dark hair hangs over her shoulders and heavy makeup adorns her pale face. Cherry red lips offer a hint of a smile, but she won’t ever smile again. Her body is already cold to the touch....

When black crows are spotted circling over an abandoned cabin in the woods near Rattlesnake Creek, FBI Agent Beth Katz and her maverick partner Dax Styles fear something is very wrong. Beth has been hunting serial killers for years, and as she races to the forest she vows to serve her own form of justice, whatever the cost....

Cassie Durham’s friends reported her missing when she didn’t return home from a local bar a few days ago. Now, Cassie sits in darkness, her last breath taken days before. Beth notices the rouged cheeks and bright blue eyeshadow are nothing like the pictures she’s seen of Cassie alive. Did someone add the heavy makeup and pose her like this after death?

When another woman vanishes from a night out, Beth is convinced a twisted killer is in town. A clue on the dark web leads her to a local late-night hangout. Going undercover, she learns that when both girls vanished they were being watched by someone at the back of the crowded room.

Noticing a man following her every move, Beth knows she has one chance to capture him. With a knife in her pocket and hell-bent on saving another innocent life, Beth is already sure she’s going to be the killer tonight. Otherwise she will become his next victim....

Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan, and Melinda Leigh, this absolutely nail-biting new crime series from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author D. K. Hood is sure to keep you up all night!

Critic reviews

“Wow... Amazing... Fantastic... Bone chilling.” (B for Bookreview)

DK Hood has not disappointed me yet

The narrator wasn’t bad, but having listened to ALL the books of Detective Kane and Alton and knowing their story line with Wolfe, Carter Jo and the rest you know that they don’t have a country accent nor are they old. That really threw me off. They are young. I feel that the narrator should had taken the time to listen to at least one book. She makes them sound all old.

Interesting

I had to decide with this one how I feel about Beth Katz. I think I like her. She’s sassy. This was a good story as always. DK Hood doesn’t ever have a bad one in my opinion. I like that Beth has grown some in the second book and that she notices it. It’s nice to see that all her stories are different. Once again characters from her other series make an appearance! I’ll be looking for book 3.

Gripping, intriguing and an amazing story told!!

These books are amazing!! The narrator is one of my favorites! The story is well written and plot is superbly laid out!

great characters

loved this book. I have been a fan of this author for awhile. But I really enjoyed these new detectives and the serial killer twist. can't wait for the next one with Beth

another great book from DK Hood

really enjoyed the story line of this book. great characters and mystery. the narrator did a great job with the female voices but I'm not impressed with her male voices. they are higher pitched and have some weird country twang I won't think people from Minnesota have. looking forward to the next book.

Excellent!

I binge listen to detective stories and especially like series where I can follow the characters over time. This series is one of the best I’ve listened to in a long time.

I was

Worried I would not love this series after Book 1. I absolutely Love Kane and Alton (accept the reader) so I went ahead and tried. This book balanced Beth out a bit and made her more likable. Even though I am not a huge fan of vigilante stories this one was worth the read. I look forward to Beth’s next adventure.

rooting for a psychopath

love this series so much! rooting for a killer is so different! keep it up

Enjoyed the story.

So i listen to tons of books. This captured my attention, but even more, my husband really enjoyed it too. At night I put earbuds in so I don’t disturb him. Last night he asked me not to put them in…he wanted to listen too. He finished listening with me today.

Great ride!

After reading the first book, this book was even better! I love the characters. The story has more twist and turns and surprises, out and out laughs and is just a really good read. Loved it
