I was always a peculiar child with no friends, so I found my friends in books. As I got older I turned to writing my own. I wrote many stories, until one night I wrote my first book. It was paranormal fiction. Quite horrid actually. However, it started my obsession with crime romance. I love romance, but I find them a bit dull at times, but a crime novel never leaves me wanting. I decided to join the two worlds, and create my own. It's the reason even after 20 books published, my books are all linked to the biggest crime of all. But that is a secret you need to figure out for yourself.
The lines that blur between love and war are often the only thing keeping you alive.
I wasn't a full Italian. My mother was a Russian, a female of the Bratva. To create peace between the Famiglia and her family, the Bratva gave her up. My father always said I would never have to marry for power. I could choose. For a while, I believed him. For a while, I thought I could marry Leonardo Catelli. Until he, Marco Catelli, eldest son of the Capo of the Famiglia, lost his betrothed. Until he rose to be the Capo Dei Capi, The Boss of all Bosses. Until he needed an heir, a wife. Until he chose me. My name is Aliyana Capello, daughter of Consigliere Sartini Capello, and this is my confession.
When all is not as it seems, and you fall in love with what you don’t know. Faced with a choice, what will you choose?
I chose Ruthless Creatures because it is a crime fiction about love, desire, and growth. Our first choice is not always our best. We sometimes fail to understand why. The more you read, the deeper your understanding grows.
Personally, I love the thrill of an idea, of loving someone who is dark and mysterious. Kage was that for Nat, and he hid a big secret, whether they overcame it or not. Well, you would need to find out for yourself.
This book taught me that we don’t really know to who we open our hearts to until it’s too late.

Five years ago, my fiancé disappeared. He left me with a wedding dress I’d never wear. Left me with the kind of scars that can’t be healed. The man I built my future on vanished like a ghost. All that remained were my broken heart and a million unanswered questions.
Until a mysterious stranger arrives in town.
Tall, dark, and dangerous, Kage is as full of secrets as he is sex appeal. Though I know he’s hiding…
I read this book a few months ago. I was looking for a psychological thriller. And to an extent it was, but it is definitely a crime read that will leave you breathless.
The story for me was just brilliant. It helps you understand the mind of a second wife to the point of obsession. How we tend to over analyse everything, scrutinize the very basis of what is real and not.
There is a thin line between perception and misconception. I learned sometimes that the deeper you dwell on finding something that is wrong, the further away from the truth you go.

If I am to mention one book that would leave you all breathless, in a world of crime and mystery it would be... Drum roll, please.
A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder. I am a secret YA fan. I love them all and if one day I had 25 hours in a day I would definitely reread most of them.
The crime in the book was a cold case, and it was interesting to see the mindset of a small town. They all pointed an easy finger, without actually looking at all the facts. It opened my mind to understand that my first thought in my writing shouldn’t necessarily be my final. There were a lot of twists, and at each point I think I know who might be the killer, but I only figured it out toward the end.

I have a thing for Mafia crime books, and I have read plenty. My reason for choosing Bound to Cruelty was because it is still fresh in my mind. I read it three months ago. And it was cruel, brutal but so deliciously breathtaking.
How do you know when you are wrong for someone? When do death and honor intertwine? How do you face yourself, and the one you love, knowing you are the biggest monster?
This book was brilliant because the characters are so well developed, that you are transformed into a world that is thrilling.

If I was stuck on a train, and I could pick any book to reread, What Happened to the Bennetts is my first choice.
As a married woman, with a child of my own. I find myself at times drawn to stories like these. I live in South Africa, so it can become quite dangerous at times. I always wonder, how far does one goes with justice can’t be served? Do we stay a law-abiding citizen? Or do we protect our loved ones? Jason had to figure that out for himself. He tried it the right way, but things don’t always go the way you think they should.
This book taught me a lot when it comes to the way a man sees a situation versus a woman’s point of view. It also affirmed my initial thought that a man, in fact, does have a hero complex and that complex might just be what saves your life.
From #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline comes a pulse-pounding new novel.
Your family has been attacked, never again to be the same. Now you have to choose between law…and justice.

One summer night in a small prairie city, 18-year-old Gabriel Reece accidentally outs himself to his redneck brother Colin, flees on his motorcycle, and gets struck by lightning on his way out of town.
He’s strangely fine, walking away from his melted pile of bike without a scratch. There’s no time to consider his new inhuman durability before his brother disappears and his childhood home burns down. He’s become popular, too—local cops and a weird private eye are after him, wanting to know if his brother is behind a recent murder.
Answers might be in the ashes of the house where Gabe and Colin grew up, if Gabe and his friends can stay alive and out of jail long enough to find them.
