About this ebook

Kay Havelin just landed her first job as an attorney with a prominent New Orleans law firm, but standing in the way of her dream life and career is her abusive, addict boyfriend, Casey Young.

After offering to help him through rehab, things get tense and she ends the relationship. But when Casey is found dead a week later, she is called to defend the one person who refused to help her, Casey’s oldest friend and dealer, Markus Finch.

Officer Reese Milo is called to the case after suffering an injury he’s only recently recovered from, and his suspicions arise when his old mentor accuses Kay of lying to put him away. Reese ignores the accusations but in the course of finding out the truth, he becomes more convinced that the old man might not be lying after all.

Is Kay Havelin capable of murder? Or is the old man’s accusation his last shot at revenge? Should Reese trust the man who raised him, or put his faith in a woman whose past is much darker than his own?

Always cruel to the reader in the first book Kay, a new lawyer, starts her new job, while Reese, a detective, returns to work from an injury. As the story progresses the story takes a drastic turn, the pieces do not add up, and just when one puzzle is solved another crops up with surprising ties to the old one. W.L. Knightly is always cruel to the reader in the first book of a new series and Cruel is no different. While I like to think I know where this is going, there is never a clear path taken to the end either way. I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

His friend and drug dealer, Finch is charged with the murder. Kay agrees to represent him as his attorney. This is a great start to this series. The story flows and keeps your interest and makes you want to find out more. Anxious for the next one in this series.

A great start to a new series with suspense, mystery, lies, secrets, murder and so much more. Kay just passed the bar exam and is now with LeBlanc & LeBlanc attorneys at law family. Her boyfriend Casey Young comes from money but has turned to dealing drugs, gambling and stealing. She was a victim in a high profile case against Judge Eddleman. Judge Eddleman is trying to get an appeal because he thinks Kay Havelin ruined his life. He asked Officer Reece to help him get something he can use against Kay to prove she set him up. This does end with a cliffhanger to get us ready for the next book in the series.
