Passion turns to envy. Love to murder. One way or another, everyone is spoilt. A sadistic killer is stalking the streets, carving his hatred into the bodies of beautiful, young women.
The murders are stirring up bad memories for Detective Lucas Huson, as he struggles to remain focused – juggling the horrors of today with horrors from the past. When Chelsea Summerville’s best friend goes missing, she’s unwillingly dragged into the race to stop the killer.
As Lucas and Chelsea find happiness together, Chelsea becomes the hunted rather than the hunter. Can Lucas shake off his demons and save the woman he loves, or will everything he holds dear be spoilt?
Detective Lucas Hunson has been struggling with a strange case, one that reminds him of something personal. A serial killer is on the loose and is carving a word into the bodies of the women he kills and it’s Lucas’ job to find this killer before he kills again or Lucas looses the tight control he has on his emotions.
Chelsea Summerville’s best friend ends up missing and she is dragged into the killers world, because she may be his intended target even if she doesn’t know why. During all of this, Chelsea and Lucas can’t deny their attraction to each other. It’s an attraction that may get Lucas fired if he doesn’t keep his head in the game.
Spoilt is one helluva ride, filled with twists & turns. I had no clue what was going to happen & for me that is one of the big requirements I have with a thriller. I hate when I can spot who the bad guy is from the beginning and Joanne Ellis totally messed with my head in that respect.
I really enjoyed Spoilt, it was one of those books you couldn’t put down because you had to know who the killer was and why. Part romance and part thriller, it was just made of awesome. My only issue is it seemed to drag a little bit with the drama between Lucas and Chelsea, it wasn’t very realistic to me. If something happened to me and the man I was dating freaked about it, I don’t think I would be so forgiving.
If you want something action packed that will mess with your head a bit, grab a copy of Spoilt.
