Review: Terror and Temptation: A Romantic Suspense Novel

Terror and Temptation: A Romantic Suspense Novel by Vella Day
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I'm reading from the author and I must say I really loved her writing style. Terror and Temptation took off right from chapter one and it never lagged speed until the end. It kept me at the edge the entire time, especially the climax is breathtaking.

Detective Rossi is investigating the murders in Tampa and somehow all deaths are connected to a local bar, Blue Moon. The manager Tessa is too attractive for his own good. He could tell she wasn't completely honest with him and is hiding something. While fighting the attraction, he gets closer to her to figure out what she's hiding.

As days go by, the killer leaves a trail of more bodies and readers are led on a cat and mouse chase along with Detective Rossi. We travel with them wondering who's the killer. The clues are all perfectly placed and we know one of the character we met is the killer, but cracking his identity is like matching the puzzle piece.

I liked it a lot and I'd say the writing is something that made me feel like I'm savoring the words. I like the books that makes me feel I'm savoring it. I also liked how Tessa thinks logically and doesn't argue with Rossi when he says something that's logical. I like her thinking and how she figures out the things, in fact, helps Rossi with the investigation.

All the elements in this story played out well and my other favorites are the supporting characters Eleanor and Marge. They love to gossip, but they also serve as a key to crack what possibly appeared as a cold case with no leads.

I'll be coming back to read more from this author and I highly recommend this book to anyone who love a romantic suspense.
