A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Deadly Encounter (The Gianni Legacy - book 1) (Kindle Edition)

I just got done reading A Deadly Encounter and I thought it was a very well written novel and had some interesting twists. This is a story of worlds colliding spiced with sensual scenes, explosive conflicts, and a captivating writing style to engage you with the characters. I rarely read, yet I finished this book in just a few short days. I liked the book's capacity to keep me interested in the lives of the characters; they seemed to be racing against a ticking clock. This book should definitely hit some nerves and introduce you to individuals that you can relate to and some that you don't want to meet!

This review is from: A Deadly Encounter (Paperback)

I read Sins of the father and then Smoke & Mirrors before I read this book. Dezi was some kind of man. Oh how my heart just broke when Dirty killed Taea then himself. Taea was the epitomy of a real homegirl even though she did some shady stuff too. All three books were really good but I would have to say Smoke & Mirrors was my favorite. I didn't know or realize that Chris was such a jerk and was happy about his downfall in the last book of this stellar trilogy. KR is a beast and I enjoy her writing style and books to the fullest.

This review is from: A Deadly Encounter (Paperback)

I got this book for Christmas!!! I read it in 7 hours....that may be a new record for me! It was well worth the headache and the crook in my neck once I finished :) It seems I may be the only one who was Happy that Kayla got with Agent Black!! As fine as Dezi was, I was scared of him myself and he wasn't even real!! I am ordering the next book as soon as I finish this review. This is definitely a GREAT READ!!!!
