Simon Says… Ride

This was another thrilling addition to this wonderful series. Kate and Simon are back with another case that will keep you guessing and anxiously turning those pages while searching for answers. The writing is well done, the main characters complex and likable and the mystery and suspense smartly crafted. I loved it and am already looking forward to book 4. I am posting an independent, impartial review.

I love this series. Simon is a psychic that is struggling with his gift. Kate is a homicide detective that doesn’t believe in psychics. Neither of them is looking for a partner, but they find themselves drawn to each other. Although Simon gets visions or in this book, his senses are amplified, he doesn’t know what it means. From past cases, Kate knows that Simon's visions relate to her case, but she does not know how they relate. As you read this story, you think that you understand who is responsible for the murders. Then you find out it was not as simple as you thought. If you are looking for a murder mystery with twists and turns, then this is the book for you.

This series is becoming one of my favorite from Dale Mayer. Each book has their own crazy cases. This one starts with a hit and run case near the campus, it looks like a simple case, but then there's another victim and another victim that leads to another old cases with a lot of victims, then there are these ugly things that happening in the campus, then everything became complicated and twisted with lots suspects and there's this one suspect that makes me want to smack and kick his smugness. It's a police procedural story, so there's the tedious interviews, following leads, figuring the connections and motives. Then there's these moments that Kate kicking was that I really love. So yes, definitely love this page-turner thriller read. As for Simon and Kate, loveeeeee the development of their relationship, although both still unsure and full of doubts, both getting closer and care more for each other.
