Till Death by Jennifer L. Armentrout


                                                   🌟🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟  

Synopsis:
It’s been ten years since Sasha Keaton left her West Virginia hometown . . . since she escaped the twisted serial killer known as the Groom. Returning to help run her family inn means being whole again, except for one missing piece. The piece that falls into place when Sasha’s threatened—and FBI agent Cole Landis vows to protect her the way he couldn’t a decade ago.

First one woman disappears; then another, and all the while, disturbing calling cards are left for the sole survivor of the Groom’s reign of terror. Cole’s never forgiven himself for not being there when Sasha was taken, but he intends to make up for it now . . . because under the quirky sexiness Cole first fell for is a steely strength that only makes him love Sasha more.

But someone is watching. Waiting. And Sasha’s first mistake could be her last.

I thought that the first couple of pages of this book were good because the author shows exactly how much Sasha has changed as person due to what had happened to her ten years earlier.  It is clear that she is still affected by what happened because she is afraid of what could be lurking behind bushes or in shadowed areas around her family's inn. 

As I read further into the story, my appreciation of it went downhill. I didn't need to hear about old flames or friends that she left behind because of her run in with a serial killer. That was already established in the beginning of the book. I began to get frustrated fairly quickly but I thought that maybe I was being too picky and read more.

The book wasn't terrible but I had hopes that weren't met. I thought that the identity of the serial killer was obvious which made the story less tense. This book focused too much on the romance and not enough on what the book was supposed to be about....the serial killer coming for Sasha! I wanted to read a thriller but instead I got to read a romance that was suspenseful with a serial killer on the side. Not to mention the main character being in some weird for of denial which made her seem dense. I mean who doesn't put 2 and 2 together and think there is a serial killer that might be hinting that he wants to kill me!
