Book Review: Pretend You're Safe by Alexandra Ivy

Title: Pretend You're Safe

Author: Alexandra Ivy

Stars: 5 out of 5

Review:
From start to finish readers will not be able to put this book down until they know who is leaving the lockets. 
Never Judge an author by one book they wrote or you will be disappointed. I have read ARES Security Series written by Alexander Ivy I found disappointing because I felt the story lacked meat to the characters. 
Pretend You're Safe I couldn't put down from first to last page. The characters will pull readers in keeping them interested to see what will happen next.
The story is in a way second chance romance but it only helps the enhance the characters and help tell the story which will keep readers on their seat I promise.
The author really takes time for readers to get in the mind of the killer even with the rush of the ending.  The story is wrapped up in a nice little bow but readers will know that Jaci still has things to work though and Rylan won't let her go. The relationship doesn't feel forced but perfect blend and balance though out the story.
This story has me wanting to read more by Alexander Ivy. Lesson learned just because you don't like one authors series doesn't mean you won't fall head over heels in love with another one of her books.
I can't wait to read more by Alexandra Ivy.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers Kensington Books. s


Synopsis:
HE KNOWS YOU
Jaci Patterson was sixteen when she found the first golden locket on her porch. Inside were a few strands of hair wrapped around a scrap of bloodstained ribbon. Though the “gifts” kept arriving, no one believed her hunch that a serial killer was at work. Now Jaci has returned home . . . and the nightmare is starting once more.

AND HE’LL NEVER LET YOU GO
Back then, Rylan Cooper was an arrogant deputy sheriff convinced that Jaci was just an attention—seeking teen. It was a fatal mistake. There’s a murderer in their midst, someone determined to settle old scores and keep playing a twisted game. And it won’t end until Jaci is his forever .

About The Author:

I'm not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother's knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on. 

Years later (no, I'm not admitting how many) I'm still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold!

I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.
