Description

Review “Menacing. Intense. Utterly thrilling. She Can Kill is a breathtaking addition to Melinda Leigh’s award-winning She Can series.” ― USA Today “The She Can series guarantees readers a spot on the edge of their seats where they can bite their nails and feverishly flip through pages.” ― RT Book Reviews About the Author Melinda Leigh abandoned her career in banking to raise her kids and never looked back. She started writing as a hobby and became addicted to creating characters and stories. Her debut novel, She Can Run , was a #1 Kindle bestseller in Romantic Suspense, a 2011 Best Book Finalist (the Romance Reviews ), and a nominee for the 2012 International Thriller Award for Best First Book. She is also a three-time Daphne du Maurier Award finalist and the winner of the Golden Leaf Award. When she isn’t writing, Melinda is an avid martial artist: she holds a second-degree black belt in Kenpo karate and teaches women’s self-defense. She lives in a messy house with her husband, two teenagers, a couple of dogs, and two rescue cats.

Excelling Addition to the She Can Series

I was given an ARC of She Can Kill from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
This was another excellent addition to Melinda Leigh's She Can series which seems to get better with each new book. This book focused around Sarah who had to deal with her crazy ex husband who was not ready to let her go and Cristan who was on the run from his past. So the book had a bit of double angst going on, but the true mystery was who was trying to kill Cristan.
This book was definitely filled with a lot of action. I also was pleased with being unsure of who was really behind the threats towards Cristan and his daughter until the end of the book. I also want to give props to the author for revealing everything that took place twelve years ago that led to them going after Cristan and his daughter and not leaving any unanswered questions at the end of the book about anything. I am not sharing for spoilers but that was nice to know all.
The match between Sarah and Cristan was also nice. It moved a bit slow but that were a nice pairing for this book. It was also nice to see a marriage of Rachel and Mike from the last book.
I am giving this book five out of five stars.

Another Excellent Story

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4 1/2
She Can Kill is like a room of mirrors. You can see your enemy in the reflection but when you turn they are no longer there.

In She Can Kill we get to learn more about Cristan and his past. We get to learn that not all is as it seems in his life. We learn that this time his choice to stay may just be the the last choice he ever makes. We also get to see how Sarah (Rachel’s sister (bk 2)) is doing. Which is not great. Sarah finds herself on the wrong end of a very angry ex-husband.

She Can Kill has a lot going on. Just when you think you have the enemy in your sights they have moved. I really enjoyed Cristan and Sarah’s story. They both are dealing with choices from their past haunting them in the present. They both care deeply for their children and are willing to go to any lengths to keep them safe. While I kinda figured out the who’s, but the ending shocked me. The why’s were a real shocker to me.
It is so hard to write a review and not give away anything. So I will stop while I am ahead and spoiler free. But know that Ms. Leigh has written another excellent story.
I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Another great read!

Lucia loves Westbury, she is glad her dad's business had allowed them to finally stay in one place. She has no idea her dad, Cristan has actually been on the run with her for the last 12 years. When odd things start to happen around them he's ready to run again but Lucia won't hear it; she's not moving again. Are the roots Cristan has put down in Westbury deep enough to keep them grounded? Will Lucia ever have the "normal" she so desperately wants?
This story had a great cast of characters and an exciting, fast paced story line. I would highly recommend this book!
