APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A sinister mystery and sizzling chemistry intertwine in Pretend You’re Safe, the first instalment in Alexandra Ivy’s romantic crime series, The Agency. When Jaci returns to her small-town home, she suddenly finds herself being hunted by the same stalker who terrorised her as a teen—and is willing to murder to get her attention. The isolated, flood-ravaged Missouri setting adds eeriness to the unfolding events, while the burgeoning romance between Jaci and her childhood crush allows for much-needed lighter, tender moments.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ivy (Charred by Darkness) sets up a satisfying mystery in this standalone contemporary romantic thriller. Heron, Mo., along the banks of the Mississippi River, is a typical Midwestern small town, but heavy flooding breaching the levees has brought with it something sinister: a decomposed body. For Jaci Patterson, the gruesome event brings back memories of a mysterious stalker who made her high school years a living hell. Past events become present-day distress when the stalker's ghastly presents begin showing up at Jaci's front door again. Sheriff Rylan Cooper, who once dismissed the stalker's actions as tasteless pranks, now helps Jaci track down the clues to the killer. She's drawn to him, but what if he has something to hide? Ivy's clever foreshadowing keeps the tension high throughout this fast-moving tale, and the romance sizzles.
Customer Reviews
OK
Downloaded it as it was free book of the week. Didn't really care about the characters so I couldn't fully invest in the book. Read it in a day but it contained nothing new.
Pretend You're Safe
The serial killer was predictable, I knew long before he was revealed and the romance was cheesy.......
