Move aside Lara Croft, there’s a new kick-ass heroine on the adventure trail and she’s decided to fight fire with fire.Yucatan Dead is the latest book in DV Berkom’s Kate Jones thriller series. Kate thought her life on the run was over as she’d settled into life in Arizona with her loving partner Cole. But suddenly Kate is once more taken from her peaceful home to the headquarters of a brutal Mexican drug cartel. The leader of which just happens to be Kate’s ex-lover. Oh, who she stole a lot of money from. Who wants her dead. Or worse. Swell.Kate is forced to admit that she will always be on the run and will never be able to form loving relationships without putting people in danger so long as Salazar – her ex – lives. Terrified and on the brink of despair, Kate deciddes it’s crunch time – either he dies or she does. But first she needs to work out who she can trust.I’d recommend reading the other novels in the series first as past events are often referred to, leaving a reader, coming to this novel first, feeling a little left out. But nonetheless, this is a high octane story full of dangerous twists and turns. You might not find a lot of in-depth emotional soul-searching but you will find non-stop, breath-taking action.Review by Nikki Mason on behalf of BestChickLit.com
