REVIEWS: NEW ORLEANS SERIES by Lisa Jackson

Hot Blooded (New Orleans, #1)HOT BLOODED
I was given a few books by Lisa Jackson by a friend and initially thought they were romance novels as I had read a few of her Silhouette novels before. 
I started reading HOT BLOODED, the 1st book in the New Orleans Series that feature Detectives Bentz and Montoya….i love the two characters….so different and so interesting. . I read the book in one go….i was unable to put it down until I finished reading the last page.
The story is set in New Orleans……perfect city for the story about Dr Samantha Leeds, a psychologist who hosts a radio talk show. She begins getting calls at work and at home by a man calling himself ‘’John” who says he knows her and she must repent for her sins.
Girls being murdered, a mysterious handsome neighbor, steamy romance, twists and turns keep you guessing until the end.
A great read. I definitely wanted to read the next book in this series

Lost Souls (New Orleans, #5)LOST SOULS
Lost Souls is the 5th book in Lisa Jackson’s New Orleans Series. 

This story has it all.....vampires….not from the Twilight world but from evil in our world, mysterious disappearances, romantic heroes, dark and moody atmosphere of Baton Rouge, serial killers which keeps you in suspense and intrigued until the very end. 
Kristi Bentz wants to be a crime writer and against her father’s wishes….the Detective Bentz from the previous books…enrolls at Lost Souls College after she hears about the mysterious disappearances of co-eds. 

She enrolls in the same courses as the missing girls and discovers that Jay McKnight, the boyfriend she had broken up is presenting one of her courses. They team up to uncover the evil vampire cult in the campus. 
The story has some gory details but the love story between Kristi & Jay is really fabulous. 
Enjoyed reading this book. A great romance thriller 



Malice (New Orleans, #6)MALICE
This is the 6th book in the New Orleans Series and we meet Detective Bentz, who has resigned from the LA Police Department after the death of his ex-wife. He moved to Louisiana leaving behind an unresolved murder of twin sisters.
He now works for the New Orleans Police Department and married Olivia, a beautiful woman and living happily together.
Recovering from an accident he starts seeing Jennifer, his dead ex-wife. He begins doubting his sanity and with the help of Detective Montoya….I love this guy…..tries to solve the mystery. He returns to LA where and people he knew or were associated with him begin turning up dead. I tried guessing who the murderer was and I was shocked when the person was revealed. Totally unexpected.
Wow….from the very beginning you are taken on rollercoaster ride filled action filled suspense.
I liked reading the killer’s viewpoint. Added a creepy feeling to the story.
