BOOK DESCRIPTION
The Kate Jones Thriller Series Boxed Set
Kate Jones Thriller Series Vol. 1 includes the complete text for the following four novellas:
BAD SPIRITS (Books 1-5): Kate Jones is on the run with a backpack full of money, intent on finding her way back to the United States from Mexico. Unfortunately, a ruthless drug lord named Salazar is just as intent on finding her, retrieving his stolen money, and making her pay for ever having left him. Is there anyone she can trust?
DEAD OF WINTER: Kate Jones is hiding out in small town Alaska when she witnesses an execution-style murder. Convinced the killers are Salazar's men and desperate to stop them from finding her, she reports the crime to local law enforcement, hoping to put them off her trail so she can escape.
DEATH RITES: When Kate has to leave Alaska (and Sam) behind, she runs to the last place she remembers feeling safe: the North Shore of Oahu. Against her better judgment, she re-establishes old connections, and soon faces a new problem in Alek, a gifted carver and avid surfer.
Then a brutal murder and theft of a priceless artifact from a museum is discovered, and Kate's thrown into the middle of what appears to be a violent ancient sect come to life. Her only chance of survival is to rely on her wits...
...and the ancient gods of Hawaii.
TOURING FOR DEATH: Kate Jones is hiding out from her shady past driving jeep tours through the rugged high desert of northern Arizona, determined to stop looking over her shoulder and find peace from her mistake of a gun-toting, former life. Testifying against a Mexican drug lord and a dirty DEA agent didn't turn out to be a life enhancing choice and she's been on the move ever since.
Now, five years have passed with no sign of trouble and Kate's finally starting to believe she's safe. Her current goal is to make enough money so she can get lost in the tropics when the tourist trade dies off. Unfortunately, it's the tourists that are dying off and she may be next.
MY REVIEW
The Kate Jones Thriller Series Boxed Set
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a copy of The Kate Jones Thriller Series Boxed Set from the author for a review via Full Moon Bites Blog Tours.
Kate Jones is one tough heroine/woman who knows how to take care of herself. She can get herself out of any situation that she is put in. Kate fell in love with the wrong person Roberto Salazar an Mexican drug lord. When Kate figures out what he is and what kind of person he is she steals his money and escapes from his ruthless clutches.
After Kate escapes she doesn't trust anyone not even the DEA agents or the witness protection program. So now she is on the run trying to stay alive and hiding from Salazar and his men. She knows you can't run a way from a Mexican drug cartel and stay alive but she plans on giving it her best shot and all by herself too.
There is a lot of action in The Kate Jones Thriller Series. Kate is always getting herself in all kinds of different situations. Not that any of it is her fault or anything that she did. You don't know from one minute to the next if she is going to get out alive. People are dying all around her but she has managed to stay alive and well.
There is sometimes that she has to let other people help her because there is no way she could do it by herself. She does end up trusting a few people with her secret and letting them know who she really is. Will Salazar and his men or someone else maybe finally take Kate's life from her? Will she ever have a life without the fear? Will she ever have a life like everyone else with someone to love her and someone she can love without worrying about putting their life in danger?
The Kate Jones Thriller Series would make one fantastic movie. I love watching movies with a lot of action and killing in them. I have never figured out why I only like movies with action, killing or the paranormal types. I am not fund of comedy at all, romance is ok if it has action, killing, vampire, witches or werewolves thrown in other wise I am not going to watch it. If I do I will fall asleep. Whilst saying all of that now I guess you have figured out that I really loved The Kate Jones Thriller Series and would really love to see it on the big screen.
