Rachel saw the call was coming from Sean’s phone. She had a feeling something might be wrong.Sherriff Jake Tyler told her Sean, her brother, had been beaten and was at the Dixon Medical Center.She had no idea of the mystery surrounding hazing at Wexman University.Until she heard about Josh.Welcome to hell week. You have seven days to find him.~~~~~~~~~~~~Shadow of Vengeance reads like a Criminal Minds TV episode. Revenge can be a powerful motivator and HE is driven to have his. The crimes are brutal and vicious.Revenge is an ice-cold mistress.Shadow of Vengeance is also a romance story. The sexual innuendo is so hot, it could be a Castle TV episode. Will they end up together? What do you think?Once I open the pages and begin reading one of Kristine Mason’s books, I find them almost impossible to put down.I love how she builds plots within plots, messing up my plans to figure out what will happen by throwing in a twist here and there. I race through the pages, desperate to find out what is going to happen. I tell myself to slow down or I will run out of book, but I cannot stop.I met Lois and her friend and my heart broke for them.Kristine writes about Owen thinking about Jake and Rachel. I couldn’t help but laugh. Poor Owen. LOL Still can’t help but laugh. Sometimes we don’t see what is right in front of us.At first I thought that Kristine was repeating their lovey dovey stuff too often. THEN, I thought about my own experiences. Isn’t that what real love is about? You cannot quit thinking about the one you love, even over a dead body. The thought of gently caressing…..well, you know where that’s going.The personal problems Rachel and Owen encounter while working together shows how difficult life can be when you s*** where you work.Kristine’s ability to write a fantastic novel never ceases to amaze me. Her plots read like a Criminal Minds episode – realistic, tragic and terrifying events. I have no doubt that Kristine will produce another masterpiece that I will be dying to pick up.Along with that feeling, comes the letdown. Will there be more from The Core? I want to read more Shadow’s – ?, or ?, or whatever. Well, Kristine. What is next?Love this: “Sometimes life’s a bitch, which is why I tend to be one.”“This is Wolverine territory. Bill’s the only fool I know that likes those d*****  Buckeyes.”Go Blue.Shadow of Vengeance takes place in Michigan and that is Wolverine country. I am BLUE.I received this book from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.
