Guilty Crime (Hangman Book 2) by WL Knightly

Can They Stop The Hangman Before He Kills Again? A Must Have Read.

This is the second book of the trilogy in the suspenseful series Hangman by WL Knightly [who is really the best selling author team Ali Parker and Lexy Timms]. We were introduced to detective
Detective Jake Thomas who is retiring and this is his last case and he hopes it’s one that won’t test his sanity as the Hangman is one determined murderer with a focus. Jake is trying to train his replacement Detective Jo Calloway. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and makes for some fabulous reading. I was hooked with book 1 [just like I was with the Zodiac Killers series] and I can’t wait for book 3. Can these two piece together the clues to save the Chief and stop the Hangman? A great action packed storyline with sensational characters, a deeply disturbing character in the form of the Hangman. I love mysteries and this is one that will be solved but how many more need to die before the Hangman is stopped forever? A superb story that has me on the edge of my seat waiting for book 3!! I received a reader’s copy and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most definitely recommended.

Sagittarius (Zodiac Killers Book 13) by WL Knightly

Well Worth The Year Long Wait!  Exceptional Series –  Must Have Read!!

This is an exceptional series, the Zodiac Killers, by Ali Parker and Lexy Timms who write together as W.L. Knightly. Now confession time here, I hate series. I avoid them. BUT, when I saw who the authors were I was prepared to give Capricorn a chance way back in the beginning of the year and I was hooked! As months passed by I was getting deeper in the complexities of who was murdering these men and why?? I love solving puzzles and reading mysteries [Agatha Christie got me hooked as a young 10 year old fascinated by her stories and so I enjoyed these monthly episodes and looked forward to them with relish. Derak and Lizzy are the main leads in this series trying to solve this who series of murders. Now Derak is keeping secrets from Lizzy as he knows all the men involved and is working with bay to keep secrets that could destroy both their lives. The detailed ways that they were all murdered were all different and these differences held clues about them that could help you piece together what is going on. Now I have to be honest and tell you that just reading this book alone will not be anywhere near as satisfying as if you had read the whole series, as I did, in the correct sequence. Ali and Lexy are fabulous authors who together, are amazing the way they create these gruesome, deviant and fantastic characters that the reader will meet along the way. The storylines follow through with such detail that are all important and should not be dismissed if you want to solve who is behind it all as I most certainly did. I was certainly shocked at some of the deaths and felt so sad at the ways their bodies had been mutilated but they all held a message that could be used to solve who was behind it all. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. I am now fully prepared and willing to read any series that these two writes compose for us as I was delighted with the tension, storyline and conclusion. Just as amazing series that I most definitely recommend . A Must Have Read!

Scorpio (Zodiac Killers Book 12) by W.L. Knightly

 A Nail Biting Episode That Is  A Must Have Read!

Oh heavens!!!  This series has driven me quietly mad over the year.  I NEVER, EVER read or even watch series lol  I hate cliffhangers but I only read these as they are so well written.  I am just about desperate to find out who Raven is now?? I have my suspicion and if it is then OM Gosh!I love puzzles and this has been one fabulous puzzle conjured up for us by the best selling authors, Ali Parker and Lexy Timms, writing as W.L. Knightly.  Over the months we have been taken through different scenarios and characters that have been so well developed and so many secrets and have been kept engrossed in the stories. I do not think you could read this book as a standalone as you really do need the information from the others to understand fully what is going on and in trying to solve the problem for yourself.  Brilliantly composed that I am still on the edge of my seat after all these months and I’m more excited to find out all who were in on the murders than I was at the beginning.  The twists and turns are perfectly balanced. I confess that once we have the final book that I will be re-reading them all one after the other to enjoy them again.  Anxiously waiting to see if I’ve reached the correct conclusion about raven’s identity in the next book!!!  I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.  Most definitely recommended!!

Libra (Zodiac Killers #11) by W.L. Knightly

  The Zodiac Killer Is Closing In…

And so the mystery, the tension, the puzzle that has kept me riveted to these books for eleven months continues.  Detectives, Derak and Lizzy are still here but the Zodiac killer is  gaining on Derak as he knows that the Killer is after him very soon.  Lane who is the Libra member of the Zoiac Killer’s list has been sickened by the deaths with Lizzy and Derak and movers and starts his successful restaurant. He’s in New York for a fashion event when things start stepping up a pace.  I was really pleased that I (a) wasn’t alone in my home when reading this and (b) that I read it in daylight!  Oh boy things get excessively dark and things I didn’t expect to happen in my wildest dreams did.  It is obvious that the Zodiac Killer is determined and thorough and is now killing more than those on his/her list.  Do I really think that I know who he/she is?? No!  I wish I did as it is now driving me mad – hence why I don’t watch serials on tv and tend to avoid them in books.  But these books are by two of my favourite authors ALi Parker and Lexy Timms and I knew that the pain of having to wait would be well worth it and, so far, they have exceeded my expectations and beyond!”  I now NEED to know who it is and why! I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most Definitely Recommended – I’m looking forward to book 12 in the series!!!!!!

Gemini (Zodiac Killers Book 7) by WL Knightly

  A Fantastic  and Suspenseful Read!

This is the seventh book in the Zodiak Killers by W. L. Knightly [by the best selling authors Ali Parker and Lexy Timms] and each book gets even better as the story carries on.  Derak and Lizzy are still on the trail of the serial killer.  Just as derak thinks it couldn’t get any worse, Lizzy puts her theory of a cult being involved in the murders by asking for the publics help.  This book is based around Cory, the Gemini of the group and a gamer  but I am nowhere nearer to knowing who the killer is as I was at the beginning of the first book. But you know what?  Drespite my general dislike of series, I actually LOVE this as it is so well written and the details make this storyline and the characters so beliveable and suspenseful.  I NEED to know who is doing this and really why. So I will be at the first in the queue to read each and every one of these books till I know!  I’m now impatiently waiting for the eighth book – Cancer. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.

Definitely recommended – get your copy now!

Romeo for Hire by Ali Parker and Lexy Timms

  Romeo But With A HEA!

This latest story by  that wonderful author partnership of Ali Parker and Lexy Timms.  In it we meet Ryan who is a single dad who is devoted to his little girl and will do just about anything for her.  As luck has not always been on his side he is currently working as a male escort basically although he is particular about his clients and doesn’t sleep with all and sundry.  Then he meets Candace who is a feisty female who is way too busy with work to have an actual relationship despite her interfering mother.  Her mother hires Ryan to push Candace into having more of a life than just work.  This is a story about Family, drama, priorities in life and all the many forms of love. Ryan was no where near what I expected – he was so much more and it was so easy to love him.  Candace needed someone like him desperately – she just didn’t know it at the time. I loved the way that Ali and Lexy wove this romance throughout the storyline. My imagination was captured at page one and maintained till the very end.  I loved this book more than I expected and can’t wait for their next romantic adventure!  Grab your copy of this asap!  I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED

Aquarius (Zodiac Killers Book 3) by WL Knightly

  Can You Solve The Murders First?

This is the third book in the Zodiac Killers series by W. L. Knightly [aka Ali Parker and Lexy Timms who collude together to write these fabulous murder mysteries].  This is yet another nail biting story as the body count mounts up.  Logan who is an artist and lives with an older woman is feeling insecure at the moment as he is sure that she is going to kick him out.  At his friend Tad’s funeral he lends a shoulder to Tad’s sister, Hannah.  As these murders continue he feels that his time will come and he is scared.  Detectives Derek and Lizzy continue to try to solve these murders with their connection to a Zodiac sign.  Logan finds a card with the Zodiac  sign for Aquarius which is his birth sign on his car – the sign used eleven years ago at Camp V where Logan and the other boys all have a secret that they have tried to keep hidden all these years and each only shared with Bay Collins and it was he that began the ‘Zodiac brotherhood’ and he still controls it. This book can be read as a standalone but you really need to have read the previous two books to appreciate all the storyline and it’s characters.  Ali and Lexy have made fantastic characters which you can relate to and the plots they devise are magnificent.  Be prepared to be intrigued, scared, confused, and wanting more. To be honest I prefer to read a series all in one go. So when all the books have been published I will then automatically re-read each one in the correct order to fully appreciate them. I received a free readers copy and leave my honest review of it here.  I encourage you to join in with this mysterious suspenseful novel and try to solve the murders for yourself before Derek and Lizzy.
