Wow, Jordan Dane delivers one intense and powerful story in NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM.
SYNOPSIS: Five months. It's been five long months since Detective Rebecca Montgomery's little sister, Danielle, went missing. Five months in which the crime has haunted her as she has badgered fellow officers for any hint, any clue, as to who kidnapped her and left her blood in a motel room. Now, Rebecca has pushed things too far and finds herself reassigned to the Cold Case Squad. Her first case involves arson and the skeletal remains of a body entombed in the walls of the Imperial Theatre. But why is Diego Galvan so interested in the crime scene? Just what are his ties to nefarious characters such as Hunter Cavanaugh and Joseph Rivera? Meanwhile, more women are disappearing... Rebecca is going to face the toughest case of her life.
MY THOUGHTS: Wow, Jordan Dane blazes onto the scene with an incredibly powerful and intense book! NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM is one of those books that wrings emotions out of the reader. There were scenes in which I was furious beyond words with a particular character and later, that same character could leave me in tears.
NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM is multilayered. On one hand, it's a fantastic suspense thriller. The tension builds and builds; it left me with chill bumps! However, the story is much deeper than just that. NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM is a powerful story of redemption. Many of the characters, not just the hero and heroine, are flawed or make mistakes, but Jordan Dane shows that moment in which redemption is granted. Jordan Dane brings out that humanity in her characters, that side that shows the characters aren't flat or one dimensional but rather that the characters are like real people~ sometimes deeply flawed but still struggling to find their own sense of peace.
NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM also brings to light a very dark crime, one that is simply evil. The descriptions are quite graphic and even a bit eerie as Jordan Dane paints some very vivid pictures of this horrific crime.
NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM is a tough read emotionally, but is well worth each and every moment.
