Verona Bay is the sight of the terrible event that changed Serenity's life. When she was in college, she and her twin sister Savannah were kidnapped and tortured by the serial killer known as "The Shepherd." Serenity managed to escape and the serial killer whose real name was Michael Black was captured, but not before Savannah bled to death. Years later, Serenity's husband has died and she and her daughter, Harper have moved back to Verona Bay to start a new life. Serenity now owns a pet grooming salon and has found herself more than a little interested in local contractor, Lucas Jordan. It isn't long, however, before Serenity's quiet life is disrupted when her sister's bracelet that was kept by Black as a trophy is left in an envelope on the windshield of her car. When Serenity's neighbor is killed, she feels herself being pulled back into the nightmare from years ago.

Dark Memento introduces a new series of books that take place in Verona Bay. The characters are likable enough while being underdeveloped. The romance is not given much time in the story, but it is clear that most of the relationship between the main characters happened prior to the beginning of the book. The serial killer story line is spiced up with questions of how this can be happening if the original culprit is already in prison, raising the level of suspense. Overall, a decent serial killer story. ( )

Dark Memento by Katie Reus
Verona Bay #1

Attention grabbed from page one when Serenity Washington is trying to free herself and her sister from the clutches of a serial killer known as “The Shepherd” I read on to find out how she survived. A bit was said about her life in the intervening eight years but the story really begins when she moves back to Verona Beach, sets up business as a dog groomer and is attracted to ex-Marine Lucas Jordan.

Serenity has a young son, a business and a few friends in the making but is overwhelmed when she finds a bracelet that disappeared when she and Savannah were kidnapped. She is worried but takes precautions and as Lucas is also interested in Serenity and worried about her he steps in, with his brother and the FBI, to find out what is going on...and keep her safe.

One by one people are kidnapped – people who are friends of Serenity. We have a look into the mind of the crazy person on the hunt and also get a glimpse of “The Shepherd” still in jail. I read and watched and wondered but, having read the end as I usually do, wanted to see how the author would finally expose the whack-job that was doing such evil things.

Well written and interesting I enjoyed this book and look forward to finding out who will star in book two of the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and KR Press. LLC for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Action packed romantic suspense. 1st in the Verona Bay series.
Keeps you guessing and on the edge through the end. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

For the second time, a serial killer is after Serenity. The killer is hiding in plain sight and threatening Serenity’s closest friends. The FBI and Lucas keep Serenity protected but those closest could be in deadly danger.
Serenity is hesitant to let Lucas become more than a friend. He is willing to wait until she’s ready. So sweet.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I also purchased a copy to keep. ( )
