  Last Word, (Cardinal Sins) Heather Long & Blake Blessing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: Kill them all It was always me and Daddy, but now I have another family to protect. From the day my father didn’t come home, my life changed irrevocably. From my earliest memories, I’d always known what I would do. Daddy hunted the monsters and when I was old enough, he let me help. Under his tutelage, I trained, studied, and learned. I was his apprentice, his partner, and eventually, I grew up enough to strike out on my own. It was always the two of us. Sometimes we shared targets, but more often, he had his and I had mine. I always thought we had no secrets, but my hunt uncovers more and more questions. Then I met Rick, Fletcher, and eventually Cash. Rick shattered the loneliness around me and for him, I broke Daddy’s rules. Fletcher burrowed into my heart with his quirky mannerisms and vulnerability, and for him, I threw the rules out entirely. And Cash? His relentless, damn ne...

  High Note, (Cardinal Sins) Blake Blessing & Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: Carve up the world… From the moment my sexy death angel strode through that door, I’d been in lust. Or at least that was what I told myself. Beautiful, powerful, and far too dangerous for me, and I was hooked. Utterly, irrevocably hooked. Course, she had her own personal psycho puppy and, man, as much as I’d like to hate him, I didn’t. The dude was OCD to the point of painful when it came to cleaning, and he had the best skills in the kitchen. He also worshiped the ground she walked on. Same, man, same. We were making this work, even with the Fed in the dungeon. Then she didn’t come home. I didn’t care what I had to do, I was going to get her back. If that meant letting the Fed out and working with him, then I was down. He could kick down the door and break the bones, whatever it took. If we had to take the world apart, well, then that was what we’d do. Rick needed her. Mr. Call ...

First Chorus, (Cardinal Sins) Heather Long & Blake Blessing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a... undefined Protect her at all costs… The last thing I was looking for when I left the facility was a new woman, a new relationship, and a new cause. I found all three in a dark alley. Saving her life was the best choice I’ve ever made. Now, Vienna is the center of my world. I’ve never met anyone so perfect for me and for whom I am perfect. Where others see flaws, she finds strength. When my demands and needs drove others away, she drew boundaries. In protecting her, I’ve found my purpose in life and I won’t let anything come between us. That goal required me to deal with flirty Fletcher with his irritating concepts and desire to live dangerously. The past he was on the run from could come for him. That would make them her problem. Not acceptable. Yet as long as she wants him with us, then I’ll protect him and protect her from him. Keeping them safe will take everything I know how to do and the thing...

  Kill Song, (Cardinal Sins) Heather Long & Blake Blessing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: Open Case File Memo Honor my father. There are four types of serial killers.  Hedonistic.  Power/control.  Mission-oriented.  Visionary.  Not all serial killers are caught. At any given point, there could be as many as fifty serial killers active at a time. Fifty. I’m looking for one. He’s male, likely in his forties or fifties now. He’s been killing successfully for more than three decades. I suspect even longer, though our timeline is based only on the earliest victim we’ve identified with his signature mark. Seventy-nine kills that we are certain of. A year ago, the unsub’s methods changed. It was a subtle shift. Instead of one or two bodies a year, five have been dropped. Forensic evidence remains inconclusive, but in my gut, I know something’s changed. Either the unsub has a partner or he’s about to become a spree killer. It’s only a matter of time b...
