Fire and Ice were never meant to coexist.
Strong-willed and stubborn, Kathryn Nugle enters a man’s profession, untested, inexperienced, and determined to solve a decade-old puzzle.
Intuition flagged her client’s deception but didn’t explain the mystery of his jacket’s crimson stain. Blood doesn’t lie. When the victim leaves damning evidence behind, fate throws Katt into a cascade of events that will challenge her skills.
Kidnapping leads to murder but doesn’t stop Katt’s investigation. When her technique refocuses the killer’s attention, Katt must stay a step ahead to survive.
Mathew McAllister is the eldest of six siblings, all current or former detectives. Practical jokes and pranks are part and parcel of his daily life. The newest addition to the family fold is a wisecracking hacker who mangles his strained equanimity and tests his patience in Morse code, security breaches, and invasion of his cherished privacy.
When a vicious assassin paints a target on one of their own, the McAllisters close ranks to ferret out the twisted intentions of a serial killer.
"A playful murder tale that should please longtime fans of this series and seduce new ones." - Kirkus Review
MY REVIEW:
SHATTERED REFLECTIONS IS BOOK 5 IN THE MCALLISTER JUSTICE SERIES. I REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES. THE AUTHOR HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THIS SERIES. THE FAMILY DYNAMICS AND CONNECTION THAT THE FAMILY HAS IS TRULY SPECIAL AND ORIGINAL. I LOVE ALL THE STORYLINES AND WATCHING EACH SIBLING FALLING IN LOVE. EACH SIBLING IS UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY AND THE WOMEN THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH ARE MEANT TO BE PART OF THIS FAMILY. THIS IS KATHRYN AND MATTHEW'S STORY.
I LOVED WATCHING MATT AND KATT FALLING IN LOVE. MATT IS THE OLDEST MCALLISTER SIBLING AND TAKES HIS JOB SERIOUS LOOKING OUT FOR HIS SIBLINGS. KATT IS A STUBBORN WOMAN WHO IS WORKING IN A MEN'S PROFESSION. KATT IS OUT TO PROVE TO MATT SHE CAN DO HER JOB WELL. MATT IS OVERPROTECTIVE OF KATT AND IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING OUT FOR HER. WHEN ATTEMPTS ARE MADE ON KATT'S LIFE, MATT WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT KATT. WILL THEY BOTH CONTINUE TO DENY THEIR ATTRACTION?
SHATTERED REFLECTIONS IS A FUN AND PLAYFUL READ. I LOVED THE CONSTANT PRANKS AND BICKERING BETWEEN KATT AND MATTHEW AND EVEN THE FAMILY. IT WAS VERY FUN AND ENTERTAINING. I LOVE THE CONNECTION AND CHEMISTRY THAT KATT AND MATT HAVE. IT FELT VERY REAL AND BELIEVABLE. I LOVE HOW THE FAMILY ALWAYS COMES TOGETHER TO HELP ONE ANOTHER. I NEVER MET A MORE CLOSER FAMILY. THERE IS DEFINITELY ALOT OF ACTION AND SUSPENSE AND EACH STORY LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE MCALLISTER JUSTICE SERIES, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES. YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO. 5 STARS
Biography
Reily is a West Coast girl transplanted to the opposite shore. When she’s not working with her dogs, you can find her curled up with a book or writing her next story. Past employment as an ICU nurse, private investigator, and work in the military police has given her countless experiences in a host of different environments to add a real world feel to her fiction.
Over time, and several careers, many incidents have flavored the plots of her stories. Man’s cruelty and ingenuity for torment and torture is boundless, not contained by an infinite imagination. Witnessing the after-effects of a teenager mugged at knifepoint for a pair of tennis shoes, or an elderly woman stabbed repeatedly with a screwdriver for no apparent reason, left an indelible impression that will forever haunt her subconscious. In counterpoint, she has observed a woman stop her vehicle in severe, snowy weather to offer her own winter coat to a stranger, a teenager wearing a threadbare hoodie. Life’s diversities are endless.
Though her kids are her life, writing is Reily’s life after. The one enjoyed after the kids are in bed or after they’re in school and the house is quiet. This is the time she kicks back with laptop and lapdog to give her imagination free rein. In reading, take pleasure in a mental pause as you root for your favorite hero/heroine and bask in their accomplishments, then share your opinions of them over a coffee with your best friend (even if he’s four-legged). Life is short. Cherish your time.
