5.0 out of 5 stars A REAL PAGE TURNER!

I loved this story! Brennon Colton and Stella Maxwell were knee-deep in a page-turning suspense.
The plot twists and turns, the unforgettable villainous characters, the cryptic messages, and the weaving of romance and crime together all showcase Ms Mello’s faultless skills as writer. The Colton family composed of FBI Agents and Profilers, and New York PD all jump in, feet first, to solve this crime. I love the scene where they all assemble together at the Harlem Brownstone of heroine, Stella to contribute their expertise to solving the murder and protecting Stella. Just wait until you discover who is causing all the mayhem and attempts on Stellas’s life. No spoilers, but it’s a mind-blowing moment.
I have a confession to make. I have not read any of the previous books that highlight the Colton family. So, you can read this story as a stand-alone with no problem.
I recommend CHASING A COLTON KILLER for your reading pleasure. It is entertaining, suspenseful, with just the right amount of romance. You can thank me later!

Such a thoroughly enjoyable read from beginning to end, that I couldn't put it down. This series keeps building on learning about and loving the large Colton family, and this book added to our knowledge of Brennan Colton. He and newspaper journalist Stella Maxwell bump heads quite a bit, but they're made for each other. Despite meeting Brennan at the scene of a lethal stabbing at the outset of the story, then escaping death from a fatal bombing, enduring the tirades and shenanigans of a ruthless boss, and a being the target of a persistent stalker, Stella still falls quickly and deeply in love with Brennan. Their relationship is frustrating, but knowing there's a happily ever after is the impetus to see how all the pieces will fit together and the story gets resolved. Of course, the carryover crime of the Landmark Killer is still ongoing, but that's what keeps tying the series together at this point. So on to the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024
Each book of this amazing series can be read as a standalone or out of order. I started with book 6, then quickly read book two. I enjoyed both books so much I decided to read the whole series. I can’t wait to read the next book. Stella Maxwell is a classy, strong, independent lady. Most of us would have broken with everything she went through in this book. The book starts with Stella at her desk at work when she receives a strange text. It told her someone was about to die in the back ally behind the building where she worked. She rushed out calling 911 as she quickly walked. She gets there to find that her ex-boyfriend had been stabbed. With no time to process what just happened she was handcuffed and taken to the police station. The author was great detailing all the emotions at that moment. The book pulled me in and I couldn’t put it down. If your looking for a good book, You may love this one and the rest of the series.
