Karina Halle’s writing style is so unique, the manner in which she pours so much emotion and raw energy into these pages is unbelievable. ~ Shey, Guilty Pleasures

Sometimes the right choice can be the deadliest.

When Ellie Watt made the ultimate sacrifice for Camden McQueen, she never thought it would be easy. But walking away with her ex-lover, Javier Bernal, in order to ensure Camden’s safety has brought a whole new set of dangers. With Javier’s plans for Ellie growing more secretive by the moment, Ellie must find a way to stay ahead of the game before her past swallows her whole.

Meanwhile, Camden’s new life is short-lived. Fueled by revenge and pursued by authorities, he teams up with an unlikely partner in order to save Ellie. But as Camden toes the line between love and retribution, he realizes that in order to get back the woman he loves, he may have to lose himself in the process. He might just turn into the very man he’s hunting.

Since Sins & Needles broke out and then On Every Street was an appetizer we all have all beenpurestdelightaward waiting anxiously on the release of Shooting Scars. I could not imagine the pressure that Ms. Halle must have been under to bring together this book. I will say she did not disappoint! If you have not read Sins & Needles you need to before you pick up this one first.

Karina Halle’s writing style is so unique in which she pours so much emotion and raw energy into these pages is unbelievable. To sit and read every word and drown out everything around me I felt connected to this world she has created.

Javier is just as beautifully sadistic as ever. Personally for me Javier Bernal is not just a bad boy he is the epitome of them all. The man we have all grown to love and hate has become so much more though and behind those gorgeous eyes of his lay hidden more secrets of the past six years that Ellie has been gone.

We can’t leave Camden out, while others go on about Javier, I have a liking for this tattoo bad one. There are many layers to Camden that I feel we are just beginning to see and let me tell you in Shooting Scars that man did not freaking disappoint in bring out the bad ass. Don’t discount Camden now or in the future.

Ellie as strong as she tries to be honest unfortunately she doesn’t see what is right in front of her. No matter how much you try a lie is still a lie no matter how beautiful it is. In believing so it may cost her the future she wants so bad her life and everyone she has come to love.

Karina Halle has written a cast of complex characters that in the end when the storm finally settles I’m afraid the destruction is going to be plenty. I can’t wait for book 3, BOLD TRICKS!
