Summary
No Darker Place for Debra Webb creates a terrifying blend of murder and the will to survive. This book is dark. Debra and Reagan Black write books together. I've decided that Reagan must be the one that adds the romance. Debra is responsible for the suspense. Debra wrote this one without Reagan and it is very suspenseful, dark and gritty. No Darker Place opens with Bobbie just returning to work after recovering physically and mentally from being abducted by a serial killer, the Storyteller. She's the only person to have survived. The serial killer is a creepy, crazy villain. I absolutely loved Shane Hunter. We knew he was going to have an interesting past because he was so mysterious. When it's revealed, it gives you an enlightening take on his character. I would have enjoyed more interaction between Shane and Debra on the romance side. It was probably more realistic how Debra wrote it. I'm not sure how Bobbie's going to feel when she finds out everything he's learned about her and how. There were several other characters in the book that I'm assuming will continue in the series as I did not see any other reason to share some of their scenes in this book.
This book is one of the reasons I have a book review website. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed this book and it is well written, however it was more violent than I like to read. If you have a hard time reading violence this may not be the right book for you.
No Darker Place is gripping, compelling, gritty, and intense.
