Deep Dark Night by Steph Broadribb
5.0
Deep Dark Night is the fourth book in the crime series featuring bounty hunter Lori Anderson. With this particular story being set in Chicago, it had an almost darker vibe to it. Not sure if it was because whilst a city can be a wonderful place, they always have a very dark side to them and we really get to see the dark side in this book.
The storyline itself reminded me of some sort of spy thriller. An agent, or in this case Lori, pretending to be someone she is not, to get close to a criminal. I actually enjoyed getting to see a different side of Lori, someone who usually dresses casual due to the nature of her work, dressed up to the nines for appearances sake.
Poker is a game I have no clue about, luckily the author focuses on the players themselves. It was very intriguing finding out more about each one. Some over the course of the story I found myself liking more where as others behaviour shocked and appalled me.
The story had me by the throat as it was as i was so glued to it. When the city plunges into darkness though, that’s when the story really hits the ground running. I was literally on the edge of my seat whilst turning the pages as this felt like Lori’s most dangerous job yet.
Deep Dark Night is a gripping and adrenaline fuelled read that had me clinging on for dear life. As the body count mounts, I really had no clue whether this was literally a case to far for Lori and JT. I have to say I loved seeing JT playing a bigger part in the story and think I have ever so slightly fallen for him. I mean how can I not? Lori is one lucky lady but then she is starting to become a bit of an idol herself I am sure among readers. It’s great to see such a strong female protagonist and kudos to the author for creating such a wonderful one, bringing hours of enjoyment to her readers.
