Review of Rose of Jericho by Jenny Allen

When Forensic Investigator Lilith Adams accepted Detective Andrew Cohen's help to defeat the horror from her father's past, she knew she was making a deal with the devil. Now the true price has come to light, and the cost is beyond anything she imagined. Lilith and Chance are forced into the service of a mysterious council, whose brutality rivals Ashcroft's in their rabid desire for the Voynich manuscript and its cipher. Every loyalty and shred of sanity are utilized as opposing factions desperately race for the power hidden within the enigmatic book, which recently went missing in a high-tech robbery at the Beinecke Library in New Haven, Connecticut. Now Lilith, Chance, and Cohen are tasked with finding the book, which holds the ghosts of Gregor's past and a mysterious connection to the Durand. Caught between emotion-feeding demons, a vicious siren, and an actual voodoo witch with terrifying power, the real question is, who will be left standing when the storm passes?

MY REVIEW: 

ROSE OF JERICHO IS THE SECOND BOOK IN THE LILITH ADAMS SERIES AND IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST BOOK. I AM TOTALLY HOOKED ON THIS SERIES. I LOVE THE COMPLEX WORLD AND CHARACTERS THAT THE AUTHOR JENNY ALLEN HAS CREATED IN THIS SERIES. I LOVE CHANCE AND LILITH TOGETHER. BOTH ARE VERY STRONG CHARACTERS AND CONTINUE TO GROW IN EACH BOOK. THE LOVE AND CHEMISTRY BETWEEN LILITH AND CHANCE IS VERY REAL AND BELIEVABLE. THEIR CHEMISTRY STEAMS UP THE PAGES. ANDREW COHEN IS GROWING ON ME. I THINK THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO HIM THEN WHAT IS SEEN ON THE SURFACE.  ROSE OF JERICHO IS FILLED WITH A LOT OF ACTION AND SUSPENSE AND LEAVES ONE ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT. THERE ARE ALOT OF UNPREDICTABLE TWISTS AND TURNS YOU WON'T SEE COMING.  I LOVE AUTHOR JENNY ALLEN'S WRITING.  THIS STORY JUST FLOWS AND IS WELL WRITTEN. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS SERIES.  DO YOURSELF A FAVORITE AND PICK UP THIS SERIES. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.  5 STARS
