Dirty Deeds by Karina HalleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Karina Halle has that gift that draws me in deeper and deeper into the dark and dangerous world that she has created in her Dirty Angels Trilogy.
Dirty Deeds is the 2nd book in that trilogy and after reading the 1st, Dirty Angels, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... I wondered what else could possible happen to the Bernal family!!!
Wow, Alana Bernal’s story was not exactly what I was expecting. It could be read as a standalone, but it’s definitely better if you have read the previous book and as it ties in a bit with The Artists Trilogy…even better.
My heart went out to Alana Bernal….what she has endured in her life due to her family’s bad “deeds”….it’s a wonder that she has remained such a likeable and endearing character…
Having no contact with her family i.e. Javier Bernal and her sister, Marguerite, her life as a flight attendant with an airline and few friends, Luz and Dominga, is one of day by day. Sex with anyone she finds attractive, she’s at the point in her life that she thinks she will never find someone who will truly love her.
Into her life comes someone totally unexpected…and someone who does not have such good intentions ….
Derek Conway was a very very bad man…..a remorseless killer who had given up a long time ago, feeling anything at all…there was nothing redeeming about him…
But his latest mission, to kill Alana Bernal, turns into something totally unexpected.
Two people, with two totally different backgrounds, both holding their own secrets …but seeing something in each other that draws them together… The chemistry between the two is undeniable….
Their journey takes them on a suspense filled trip as they try to discover who is behind the hit and why. I was really surprised when I discovered who the villain was behind Alana’s hit.
Despite my reservations about Derek and his real feelings for Alana, I did warm up to him as the story progressed. Alana, I just found her totally likeable. What a life she has lived because of the sins of family….so damn sad. But yet, she managed to keep just a “don’t feel sorry for me” kind of attitude. She confronted her obstacles and did something about overcoming them.
I was a bit baffled about the appearance of Javier and Luiza…where does the Bernal family go from there, I wondered.
Okay, so I absolutely loved the epilogue!!!! Made me smile but still left a bit of a shadow in Derek & Alana’s life…..will they find everlasting true happiness together?????
The only thing I was a bit put out about …..Why was this story so short????
