Pitch Black A Black CATs Novel Leslie Parrish 9780451227713 Books Reviews

This book is a fast paced, thrill ride from the first chapter. It has everything, murder, mystery, love. The characters are very likable and you'll find yourself reading well into the night! I can't wait to read the next book!!!
This book was just ok to me. I liked the suspense. I guess I even liked the buildup for the romance. But... There were way too many POV's in this book. Too much time was spent setting up the next book with the other characters. It's an adequate thriller but i wasn't left with the desire to read the rest of the series.
This is a very good book portraying many of the issues in our history and present. You will be drawn into the book so easily and it will be hard to set it down.
If you like the tv show Criminal Minds this is a book for you. This well put together story follows a young female bloger with a messy past into the world of cyber crime where she becomes involved with the very cyber scamers she blogs about avoiding. With a handson FBI agent by her side they attempt to track down the sadistic Internet killer. What and who they find will change them both forever. Great read, not big on romance but the crime layout was meticulous and the romace was beautifully writen, classy. Couldn't tell who done it util the very end, which is extremely rare for me and I love when that happens. Highly recommend this book and will be reading more from this fabulous author.
This author truly knows how to write! I was brought into this story immediately, knowing each character, each scene, each emotion, and more. The twists and turns kept me guessing and I loved the slowly-developed romance. I love reading mysteries and historical romance. Now I have discovered a new love for modern crime/romance. This book was very hard to put down! If possible I would give it 10 stars. Thank you, so much, Leslie A. Kelly, for a wonderful read! It was a phenomenal one for me!
Leslie Parrish does it again! She's given us the second installment of what I've heard is a Black CATs trilogy (though they're SO good, I can't help but hope they continue), and in keeping with the first, Fade to Black, she's knocked the romantic thriller genre on its butt with the well-paced, finely-crafted, and emotionally taut Pitch Black.

Alec Lambert is an FBI profiler who's a bit on the outs with the Bureau after a bust went bad and left an agent dead and put Lambert in the hospital with gunshot wounds. He's still on some emotionally shaky ground, doubting his own abilities as he starts his latest assignment working for Wyatt Blackstone's Cyber Action Team (CAT). Unfortunately for a pair of teen boys, best of friends to the very very end and victims of an old nemesis of Alec's, Lambert has to hit the ground running on his very first day with the team in a race against time and cyberspace to catch their killer, the notorious Professor. That ground leads Alec straight to Samantha Dalton, divorcee and near recluse, and definitely a woman with a mission against all things cybercrime. She was the last one to have any contact with one of the victims, and her world is about to blow apart when she realizes she may not just hold the key, she may actually BE the key to the Professor's capture. If she lives through it.

As I was with Fade to Black, I was extremely impressed with the mature development of the relationship between the romantic leads, Alec and Sam. It's such a delight to see a relationship that has both sparks flying AND realistic progression given the surrounding story line. To me, this aspect really sets Parrish's books head and shoulders above many many others I've read. And there's so much depth given to each character, deftly and subtly woven into the plot instead of seeming at odds with it. Such a treat to read.

A caution, though, as Parrish has another unique skill that doesn't lead to the warm fuzzies. Her skill at bringing the reader right into victims' experiences gives us a disturbing insight that sets her apart from others I've read in the genre. It's also, I feel, what brings true darkness and horror into her books. They're not particularly gory - in fact, Fade to Black in particular could've been and wasn't - but they do touch a deep chord and leave no room for doubting a human monster's capacity for depraved cruelty. Not by languishing in the mind of the killer, but by humanizing the victims and familiarizing us with them even as they die.

It's dark stuff at times, and may not be for all readers. I have a pretty much love/hate relationship with it, myself, actually - LOVE it on an intellectual level, but it resonates a sorrow deep enough in me that I can still feel it days later.

All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Leslie Parrish's Fade to Black and Pitch Black. I did like Fade to Black just a wee bit more, as Sheriff Stacey Rhodes and Agent Dean Taggert are two of my all-time favorite characters in this genre, and there was one part of Pitch Black where Sam's actions struck me as almost stereotypical-victimish, doing something she should've known better than to do, though I do understand HER reasons for doing them. Still, that doesn't detract too much from my enthusiastic enjoyment of this book and the ongoing trilogy.

4.5 Stars and a definite must read!
The action here is intense, and the unsub a scary one. I didn't see the reveal coming. I still am not a huge fan of these as romantic suspense, because the action seems to be much more important to the author than the romance. That's fine, but maybe it's more of a thriller or mystery than romantic suspense.

The characters are a little more interesting this time around and Kelly clearly loves her big strong handsome heroes. I'd like a little more feeling from all of them.
