Perfect Kill | Helen Fields

I love the "Perfect" Ave & Callanagh series by Helen Fields. I think if I could delve into the mind of any author, or ever had the opportunity to interview them Helen Fields would be high on my list! This book was truly horrific, the research must have taken her into some

really dark places because it was just twisted! Hunger Games eat your heart out! I will admit though this is a really hard hitting psychological crime drama that is not for the feint hearted. I did have to put the book down at stages to walk away from the descriptive scenes of rape and torture, I didn't think Fields could go much darker than the second novel and I was a little horrified to find she could!

The relationship between Luc and Ava is frustrating and beautiful and raw and has me screaming at the pair of them, and I love the way Fields uses Natasha to almost articulate what you are thinking to the pair of them. I also really love Lively as a character, he has certainly grown on me over the series and I hope he develops his relationship in the next book with Elenuta.

I did kind of work out some of what was happening by half way but that ever detracted from the horror or desire to keep turning the pages. I definitely think you need to read the books in order to truly understand the characters and how they develop over the series however. there are only a few references to the previous novels so you definitely could read it as as standalone if you really wanted to.

I highly recommend this whole series and Helen certainly hasn't disappointed me in the latest installment. i was up half the night reading this book in one sitting, a must for anyone who loves modern, gory, psychotic crime thrillers! I'd like to thank Netgalley for the ADR copy of the 6th installment and am already on the look out for the 7th.
