HADES by Candice Fox
A Dexter-ish twist to this debut thriller.
This novel had me on the edge of my seat. Candice Fox had some twists and turns that surprised and amazed me. One, especially. I felt it coming, but didn’t want it to happen. I love when an author can keep me guessing, is she really gonna do that? And the ending? Awesome and I can hardly wait to read the next book!
Is there a book that stands out in YOUR mind where the author kept YOU guessing until the very end?
MY TEASE
“What have you done?” Hades ran a hand through his hair. He gazed at the body. “What have you done?”

SYNOPSIS
A dark, compelling and original thriller that will have you spellbound from its atmospheric opening pages to its shocking climax. Hades is the debut of a stunning new talent in crime fiction.
Hades Archer, the man they call the Lord of the Underworld, surrounds himself with the things others leave behind. Their trash becomes the twisted sculptures that line his junkyard. The bodies they want disposed of become his problem for a fee. Then one night a man arrives on his doorstep, clutching a small bundle that he wants ‘lost’. And Hades makes a decision that will change everything…
Twenty years later, homicide detective Frank Bennett feels like the luckiest man on the force when he meets his new partner, the dark and beautiful Eden Archer. But there’s something strange about Eden and her brother, Eric. Something he can’t quite put his finger on. When the two detectives are called to the scene of an attempted drowning, they find a traumatized victim telling a story that’s hard to believe – until the divers start bringing up bodies.
Frank is now on the hunt for a very different kind of serial killer: one who offers the sick and dying hope at murderous cost. At first, his partner’s sharp instincts come in handy. Soon, he’s wondering if she’s as dangerous as the man they hunt.

When you mentioned the butterfly, I immediately thought of the cover of Silence of the Lambs (but that’s probably a moth, isn’t it?) This sounds like a chilling thriller and a good story.
My Tuesday post features SIX STRINGS.
Yeah, I think it was, but this book is just as chilling as Silence of the Lams.
I saw this somewhere else too and think the same as here, I would like that book. 🙂
Oooh… This sounds interesting… What have they done??

It’s not good. LOL
I this. It sounds exciting. I will be adding this to my TBR. Thanks for visiting my blog. Nadene@Totally Addicted to Reading
Glad to add to your reading pile. This is definitely worth the read.
Dexterish? I’m in. I love that evil dude!
The butterfly doesn’t mean hope to me. It means evolving to something else, maybe something worse. Yikes!
I think you would love this. The Dexterish description caught me too. LOL Yikes is a good description, at least to start with. 🙂
It looks to me like the butterfly is in dangerous territory and the girl behind is about to pounce any second!
Here’s a link to my teaser:

Good one Zed. I couldn’t help but laugh. LOL
This sounds rather dark, so I hope the butterfly is a sign of hope! Thanks for visiting my teaser!
Right back atcha Kym. Yes, this is rather dark and I will posting my review on Friday, 2/6/15. To find out about the butterfly, alas, you will have to read the book. 🙂
A pretty intriguing thriller. I love the cover too 🙂
Thanks, Nyze. Nice to see you stopping in. 🙂
