About the Book:
A Cincinnati detective questions everything he knows--and everyone he trusts--in the new novel of romantic suspense from New York Times bestseller Karen Rose.
Homicide detective Adam Kimble is no stranger to battling demons. But Meredith Fallon is a different kind of weakness: one that could actually be good for him, if only he would let himself depend on her. Meredith has loved Adam for a year, and seeing how hard he's worked to deal with his PTSD makes her feelings only stronger, but she respects his needs. Her work keeps her busy anyway: she counsels sexually abused women like Mallory Martin to help them reintegrate into the world.
But someone doesn't want Meredith helping women like Mallory, and Meredith finds herself in the crosshairs of a very determined killer. Adam would risk anything for her, but they'll soon find out she isn't the only target...

Okay, I have to admit it. I am a huge fan of Karen Rose's writing! And this novel only made me love her books more. Once again I was hooked from the first few pages and could not put the book down. Actually, I was only a few chapters in when I realized that I needed to make a trip several hours away. The thought of having to wait to continue with the book (can't read and drive at the same time) made me purchase the Audible version of the book. I loved listening to Edge of Darkness as I drove, even when it gave me the shivers. My only problem was when I arrived at my destination and had to turn off my car. I couldn't do it. I sat there in the parking lot for another hour, listening.
This is book #4 in the Cincinnati series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. After reading it, however, I'm sure you will want to check out the other books in this series. Karen Rose creates fascinating characters that go straight to your heart... or straight to your nervous system. Sometimes you don't know the difference until later in the book, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
Police Detective Adam Kimball has been fighting the demons inside him for almost a year, pulling him away from the woman who means the most to him, Meredith Fallon. But when Meredith's life is threatened in a most horrific event, Adam finds himself in the middle of the ordeal, wanting nothing more than to protect Meredith, keep her safe, and find the man responsible.
I was totally caught off guard when the bad guy was revealed. That's one of the things that makes Karen Rose such a great mystery/suspense writer. And the romance between Adam and Meredith was intense and hot, which is what makes Karen Rose such a great romance writer. Perfect blend of romance, mystery and suspense!
I'm sad to see the Cincinnati Series end, but looking forward to whatever this author has for her next series. I'll be watching!
