I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Crimson Summer by Heather Graham is the second book in the Amy Larson and Hunter Forest FBI series. Having enjoyed Danger in Numbers, I looked forward to reading Crimson Summer after learning it was the sequel. It delivered a thrilling and suspenseful tale served with a side of romance. Summary Now the events in Crimson Summer occurred one month after Danger in Numbers. The story began with a mass murder in the Everglades, made to look like gang on gang violence. The victims were members of a notorious Latino gang. Meanwhile, the delivery of a red toy horse to Amy and Hunter’s hotel room led to them cutting their vacation short. A similar toy found at the crime scene alerted Amy and Hunter to the connection between this crime scene and their previous case involving the investigation of an apocalypse cult. The red horse hinted at the beginning of war. Amy and Hunter race against time to prevent a catastrophic event. Graham delivered a clever tale which had me turning the pages while keeping me on the edge of my seat. The case is chilling and complex. Several players were involved in the murders that spread beyond Florida. The big question on the reader’s mind was who was the puppet master? Amy and Hunter’s relationship has strengthened, and they have grown closer. They had each other’s back. Hunter’s action near to the end showed how much he loved Amy. I thoroughly enjoyed this installment, even more so than Danger in Numbers. Crimson Summer pulled in from the very beginning with the grittiness of the murder investigation, the romantic moments between Amy and Hunter, and the twists and turns Graham created throughout the story. Identifying the villain proved a challenge this time around. The romantic and light moments balanced out the darker themes of the story. The danger intensified the more Hunter and Amy searched for the truth. The tale provided some nail biting moments. Now, while this aspect of the investigation wrapped up successfully, Hunter and Amy’s work isn’t over. I cannot wait to find out who will be behind the next horseman of the apocalypse. Fans of gritty crime stories with an element of romance would appreciate the story Graham delivered in Crimson Summer. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
