This is the first time reading this author. Full Malice really kept my interest and had a few things I wasn't expecting, although I figured out who was in the Society early on. The vigilante group angle was something a little different than the typical crime thriller.Ten Times Guilty was very realistic and life like. A single mom trying to take care of her kid with a bad guy after her. She had very real feelings and thoughts after her awful experience. The rapist could have been someone right out of true crime files. Another one that kept my interest and I wanted to keep reading.Beyond the Quiet also had another realistic woman who watched her life fall apart right in front of her. I didn't care for this one as much because everyone kept telling her she needed to forgive and move on. That's all well and good but it would take time to get past your husband's other life and accept it. Also, forgiving her brother and sister in law would be awfully hard after what they did. There was also a bit too much woe is me until she got her act together. The part with Rick felt unrealistic. I didn't like the ending but it was like real life. Things aren't always roses.All three stories were of women who had to overcome odds or find an inner strength to carry on. The women were realistic and felt like they could be a neighbor or someone you knew.What I didn't like was the graphic sex. It normally doesn't bother me but it seemed out of place or too much. Maybe it was just unexpected. There were quite a few grammatical errors or missing words that was a little annoying. I'd recommend this set as long as the reader was aware there was some pretty graphic language and sex involved.
