I read the first book, Water Under The Bridge by Britney King, in this awesome romantic suspense series and fell in love with these characters.
If you want to be enthralled for hours, unable to quite reading, Jude and Kate can do that for you!
AmazonMY REVIEW
Dead in the Water by Britney King is Book II of the series and seeing I was blown away by Water Under The Bridge, Book I, I was very excited to get my hands on this one. I love romantic suspense. Throw in some psychotic assassins trying to be ‘normal’ and I cannot resist. Britney did not let my down. In fact, she kept the surprises coming and I couldn’t stop reading.
Faking normality in suburbia.
Two assassins do their best to blend in with the ‘normal’ people.
“If we don’t play the game, we’re Dead in the Water. All animals have the ability to sniff out that which is not like them, and these people…they’re dying to find the rat.”
Jude keeps his secrets close to the vest, trying to fit in.
Kate has always been the one in control…
Twisted, psychotic and to know they…
It’s hard to share anything because I don’t want to do anything to spoil the story. I love the damaged, psychotic characters, Jude and Kate. They are two assassins but they murder in different ways and for different reasons. Which is worse? All the details makes it even creepier and disturbing, but I start to feel empathy for Jude and even Kate…at times.
I struggle to find words that describe my thoughts and feelings for this outrageous take on two psychopathic serial killers. Their perverted sense of normal makes me think they might just fit in. LOL
I keep wondering who will kill who. Will they get caught?
Monique was a situation I didn’t foresee and what a fabulous twist. I didn’t think about it much before hand, but what a wonderful surprise and it takes a master storyteller to keep the suspense at a high level throughout.
The continuous surprises from these incredibly complex characters make Dead in the Water impossible to put down.
I like the illustrations at the chapter breaks.
I have never read anything quite like this series and can hardly wait to read more!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

THE PERFECT NEIGHBORS. THE PERFECT COVER.
A GRIPPING ROMANTIC SUSPENSE THRILLER
He’s a contract killer. She likes to even the score. Smack dab in the middle of suburbia, few married couples are as competitive as Jude and Kate.
But then, most married couples don’t keep score in the form of body counts. Each hell-bent on a silent pact to out-do the other, the games begin.
Who ends up on top is anyone’s guess. But with these two, one thing’s for sure— not everyone comes out alive.
After all, there are a few things they can agree on: All is fair in love and war. And if they can’t make it work— they’re dead in the water.

My Review for Water Under The Bridge by Britney King
This cover is absolutely gorgeous and I’m going to have to check it and it predecessor out. Thanks for sharing it and adding to my wishlist. Sounds great!
Very happy to help your TBR to grow. LOL I love it when an author can put a new twist on a familiar subject and I do love a good serial killer story!
I’ve seen that image used for many books, but I still love it. This sounds like a fun, exciting read.
It’s so pretty, I can see why it is used so much. It is a very exciting read and I am eagerly anticipating finishing this series!
That is an interesting set-up. Like a serious version of that upcoming movie, Keeping Up With The Joneses
Hmmm…I’m not a big movie buff…I am more of a TV addict. LOL I will be checking out The Joneses though.
Wow, this sounds really good and you know I have a thing for serial killers in books. I am going to add them both to my wishlist!
Hi Kimberly. I though this one might catch your eye. Glad to hear you have added them to your reading list. I LOVE them and the characters keep me wondering what the hell they will do next. LOL
