I just finished reading Cold Grave. It, like the rest of the series, has characters that are strong in their courage, brave in their actions, and horrifying in their villany. Ellie Kline is once again the star of the show, running (or diving) into danger pell-mell, without fear for herself – she only cares about those she loves, and she’ll go to any lengths to protect them. The rest of the crew is there as well; Jacob and Jillian, Fortis, Marcus Johnson - they all remind us of where we’ve been in this journey with Ellie. There’s a pain-in-the-butt new detective in the bullpen, and Fortis moves her up into the Violent Crimes warren, rather than the basement because she works alone! (And Jillian would be beside her again.)<br />Once again, she is plagued by paranoia, and some of her fears are justified. She meets an officer from the ACTeam and finds a kindred spirit in Clay Lockwood. She still will not sit back occasionally when the bad guys are getting close, but she has the backing she needs to get the job done. I honestly cannot wait for Book 6 to come. Thank goodness I do not have to wait that long! <br />

<strong>Thrills thrills & more thrills!</strong><br /><br />I started this series 2 weeks ago & have binged through 5 books! About to start #6!! <br />Well done are the 2 best words I can use to describe this series. I love ( and hate) how she leaves you hanging so my only option is to move on to the next because I must see this through to the end. Full of twist & turns, a fast paced thriller filled with shock & aw! <br />I cannot say much about the storyline without giving things away so I will just say GREAT read!! <br /><br />

<strong>Cold Grave. </strong><br /><br />Ellie and Clay are great partners. Ellie is still on the hunt for Kingsley the psychopath who ran the largest trafficking operation in Charleston who also kidnapped Ellie 13 years ago. Ellie also has a stalker. This series gets better and better. Ellie is determined to keep Jillian, herself and everyone she can safe from these psychos while solving the mysteries of who the Jane and John Does are from the Hunter. This is a great book. Thank you Mary Stone.

<strong>A really good book!!!!</strong><br /><br />How many times can Kingsley escape from Ellie and the FBI and the Charleston PD? Is a cat with 9 lives? Will they get him before he gets Ellie? And where has Katerina got to? She walked, er.,ran, away right under their noses at the take down at the dog kennel! She hates Ellie almost as much as the Master does, now he's after her too. Find all the answers in this excellent book. Highly recommended!!

<strong>Ellie Kline, Savanna PD, and Agent Clay Lockwood, FBI are pitted together again</strong><br /><br />Ellie Kline Detective Savanna PD, and agent Clay Lockwood, FBI are drawn back together to try to find who some of the bodies are that they found. And who some of the left behind bad cops that are still stirring the mud might be. Again I would give this more stars if I could cthis writer can really tell a great story.

<strong>Good book</strong><br /><br />I enjoy this series, but I'm ready for it to come to a conclusion. I like the characters and believe that beach of the cold cases that Ellie solves would make good stories. The Katrina and Lingsley story should be brought to a close. It should not take 6 books to tell a story. This story was light in content compared to previous books. I was a little disappointed
