She goes where the law won’t. Does what the law can’t. She is Judge, Jury, and Executioner.

★★★★★ “Fast-paced and action-packed, it takes you on a ride you don't want to stop!” J. Alexander

A young woman disappears while traveling through Eastern Europe thrusting rogue assassin Tess Williams into a desperate search for her. Tess investigates only to discover the woman has been abducted by a vicious gang of human traffickers.

Tess unleashes her fury upon the city's shadowy underworld, storming through the streets like a whirlwind of vengeance. But when she slams into a horde of armed killers, her rescue mission quickly turns into a fight for survival.

With the clock ticking and the body count rising, Tess has one terrifying question to face — what price is she prepared to pay to bury these monsters for good?

An adrenaline-charged thrill-ride, Kill Switch is a must-read if you love pulse-pounding action and a troubled hero with a dark past.

I’ve hand-fed a wild orangutan in a rainforest, explored exotic locations such as Machu Picchu, and sparred with a monk at a Shaolin temple. As you can tell, I love seeking out extraordinary adventures. So what more appropriate profession could I find than writing — creating wondrous worlds filled with fascinating characters?

I’ve been a full-time author since 2016 and write in multiple genres — you’ll find my books crammed with either adorable mutts who’ll melt your heart, justice-seeking antiheroes, or heartbreaking tales inspired by true stories from the Holocaust.

I pen my novels in the North of England, where I live with my Polish partner and two stray black cats who turned up in our garden one day and liked it so much they moved into the house.

So whether you love to curl up with heartwarming tales about lovable dogs, gritty, action-packed thrillers, or heart-wrenching stories from history’s darkest hour, I hope you’ll join me on my literary journey.

Happy reading,

Steve

Violent story of search for a lost daughter

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

Tess has spent the last year turning herself into a killing machine and she has succeeded. She is in Poland on her way back to the states to take vengeance on those who wronged her. She meets Elena who has seen Tess mete out justice on bullies terrorizing and threatening a couple. Elena explains that her daughter, Catalina who was out looking for a job. What follows is a very violent search across Poland. This book contains extensive graphic violence which may be a problem for some. Tess's character development continues throughout the book. I am interested in her continuing story. I received an ARC of this book from Hidden Gems. This is my review

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2016

She had once been a normal woman living her life like the rest of us, having some troubles along the way, but still moving forward each day. But then it had happened. And nothing was ever, ever the same...even ten years later. But she had used those ten years to make her the woman she now was. Now she knew what to do with that gun that she'd once cowered to use. But that was just the start. Her body was now totally prepared--she could and would take on anybody that tried to hurt innocents, like she'd once been hurt.

And she was prepared to do anything she had to do to work her way back home...and finish it...
Until then, she'd help help those who faced danger wherever and whenever she could...
This time, it was a woman, hoping to find her kidnapped daughter before she died...

This book has been compared to other stories; but when I started reading, I knew immediately who I would have chosen to play the main female character part--Geena Davis. Specifically, her role in my very favorite movie since it first came out...The Long Kiss Goodnight... Of course, the story is quite different, but the female character was seen as two different women--one who had changed after she had faced a traumatic experience. The end result? Tess Williams was now prepared to kill, whenever...

Tess Williams is the female action hero of the Angel of Darkness Series...This is my first book in this action thriller where revenge and vigilante justice takes care of business...bad business... I love this Character!

We are in Krakow where a young girl is looking for work...she looks bedraggled and after one look, most everybody turns away from her...But it's not her fault. She and her mother stopped here on their way to see a doctor in England--hoping to find somebody who will find a cure for what is causing her mother's slow death... But then they were robbed of everything!

She had about given up when she stopped in a small cafe and carefully spoke in Polish asking for work. She was thrilled when the woman said yes, but then she went on talking and Cat didn't know enough of the language to keep up. Finally, the woman turned away from her and Cat was forced once again to drag herself out the door...

That was the last place she visited, asking for work..

Tess had stopped in a bar to have a quiet drink. That didn't seem to be possible for her because she could see that a small group of Polish men with motorcycle jackets were beginning to harass a young couple--a female Polish girl and an American boy... and then followed them when they left... to continue the harassment, wanting to know why the American boy came here for Polish girls... and then they went after the boy... Tess took care of the situation. Check out my blog for excerpts and pics...

Tess was moving on after that little diversion, but she had been seen... Tess knew somebody was watching, but since nobody was coming out, she went on to where she'd been headed: Auschwitz... After going through everything, she was headed out when an older, limping woman came toward her. She asked Tess the direction to the gas chambers...

And that is when she met Catalina's mother, Elena Petresku, who asked her to help find her daughter...before she died...

Kill Switch was named because of Tess' ability to switch into her killing mode. She had talked with the old lady, who had asked so many questions that Tess might have felt like she was being interviewed...Actually, she was...Tess had been helpful and spent time with the older woman and agreed to help her. They even, to a great extent, had become friends, each helping in whatever way she could in the search to find Cat, no matter what...

Be prepared for lots of dangerous action scenes and meeting the scum who prey on the innocent... And, remember, Tess had once been innocent. And now she was prepared to kill to find her. Are you prepared to read an extremely believable story on Human Trafficking? If you care about those who are innocent and are swept away into the dark...read this book! Start talking about what is being done to young boys and girls all around the world. I find when this topic is primary in the book, I find no other way to solve this problem...Revenge and Vigilantism may come to be what happens when the officials seem not to be able to stop these criminals...

I'm Tess and spreading the word...Know what is happening and start demanding action against Human Trafficking... Read this book...

This is a book filled with suspense and lots of action

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2015

After reading half a dozen pages, Steve N. Lee’s action drama grabbed me. I was interested in finding out what happened. Soon I was also wondering about Tess William’s past.

A beautiful young woman is seeking work, any kind of work, so that she and her mother who is dying can leave this Baltic country and travel to England where her mother, who is extremely ill, perhaps even dying, may get medical help. But her purse was stolen. She has no money. She is willing to clean houses to get money, to get out. A handsome personable man offers her a job and drives her to it. But there is no job. Instead she is beaten and raped.

The girl’s mother is looking for her. She sees a five foot seven beautiful woman save a couple by beating up three men who threatened them. This is Tess who has a past where harm was done to her in America. She spent ten years training in hand to hand combat and breathing exercises to control herself, who is determined to take revenge for what was done to her. Until then she helps others who need help, just as she helped the couple that the mother saw. She had killed 56 people. She wears a bullet-proof vest when need as well as other protective gear, including glove with metal inside. The abducted girl’s mother feels certain that Tess can help her. Tess feels sorry for her and agrees to help find her daughter.

The book tells of their search and the difficulties they encounter and the people Tess must fight and those she must kill. It is, as I wrote, gripping. It is also suspenseful. The figure of Tess is nicely drawn and we identify with her. There is much suspense and a lot of action.

What the Hell!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

There I was skimming Amazon for a freebie (don't look at me that way, bet you do it too) in the SF section thats Science Fiction for you thriller fans. So I downloaded the book.
About as far from SF as could be, no zombies, no post apocalyptic setting, no time travel and not a spaceship (be it the last of its kind, abandoned and infested with aliens or the 1st of its kind) in sight.
But in this books defence, it has a cracking good plot, a dark lead character who you quite quickly grow to like.
Its an easy read.
A second ‘but’ here, please be aware its not for the squeamish.
Almost dropped a star because it had conned me, but I'm not that vindictive.
I'll blame it on Amazon's marketing Dept. instead.

Terrific

What more can I say ? Well, unfortunately Amazon needs a bit of blurb so ..... I learnt more about self defence moves that I ever thought possible whilst reading a book. A trip around Eastern Europe leads Tess to a final confrontation, but will she be successful ? Well, as this is the first book in a series I'll leave that to your imagination, but you just might be wrong. Get it. Start reading the series. I can assure you it will be worth while and that you will be entertained and enthralled.

I've read the complete Angel of Darkness series and thoroughly enjoyed them. They are full of action and real page turners ~ I was sorry when I had finished them, because I binge read them! I then had to read a couple of biographies, to get Tess out of my system. I heartily recommend these books.

This is one of those books that just grips you from the opening paragraph. One tough cookie who doesn't stop until justice is served. Definitely up there with most prolific authors Lee child's, l t ryan, Steig larrson, fantastic adventure that takes you on a roller coaster of a ride and leaves you wanting more at the end . Can't wait to finish the series .
