•••••••••••••••••

Reckoning by Kelly Cozy is the second book after Ashes. If you read my review of ASHES, you would know how much I loved that story. My review ended with me yelling at my e-reader because the story was over. I would’ve given anything to have more pages to read the way that story ended! I honestly didn’t think Reckoning could be as suspenseful and attention getting as the first book. I was so glad to be wrong about that. Reckoning was another roller coaster ride of suspense and intrigue, just like Ashes. There are more characters, more twists and turns to the plot, more action…..you name it, it’s in Reckoning.

Sean Kincaid did what he wanted to do, he brought a domestic terrorist to justice. But the trail of bodies he left behind had him feeling remorseful and determined to make amends. He had hurt innocent people in the process of the journey and all he wanted to do was make it right, if that was even possible. Deirdre Monahan was devastated to find her beloved cousin Anna dead. Who could do this and why? She was determined to find Anna’s killer and bring a little justice of her own. Sean and Deirdre are on a collision course to meet and change each other’s lives forever.

It’s so hard to write a review for this book and not give away too much of the story. I loved it. LOVED IT. I never knew what was going to happen next, the plot twists were amazing. Kelly Cozy brought in more characters and spun the story in such an intriguing way. I could not even try to predict what would happen next. How is it possible to feel sorrow and empathy for the killer that Sean Kincaid is? It’s possible when you have a storyteller that can weave such a magic web with words. I’ve always been a “romance” reader. Give me a guy, a girl, some action and a happy ever after and I’m content. Kelly’s books have greatly expanded what I want to read now. I would’ve never thought I would love reading “keep you on the edge of your seat” books, but these stories have changed that for me. Kelly Cozy’s writing gets a high five, two thumbs up and a huge fist bump from this reader. I will be a fan of Kelly Cozy forever.
