USA TODAY bestselling author Jana DeLeon
has a new trilogy-Mystere Parish: Family Inheritance After working as a
cop in New Orleans, Carter Trahan is back in Mystere Parish, where his latest
assignment seems like a joke: making sure Alaina LeBeau lives in her
childhood home for two weeks to comply with her mother's will. But soon the
sexy sheriff isn't laughing. Someone-or something-is stalking the beautiful
defense lawyer, turning her once-grand mansion into a house of horrors.
But as he searches for the truth, Carter must face ghosts of his own past lurking in the bayou. Most troubling of all is his unprofessional attraction to the woman he's protecting, as Alaina's allure haunts him as no specter ever could.... |
Alaina LeBeau is a lawyer. Or at least she
was one until she quits her job at a big law firm when her boss decides to make
her undeserving, but well connected co-worker partner instead of herself.
Feeling frustrated and needing time to figure out her next game plan, she goes
to stay at her mother’s mansion for two whole weeks in order to qualify for her
mom’s inheritance. That’s when things get interesting and Alaina finds out that
this won’t be as easy and relaxing as it sounds…
What I liked:
I really enjoyed the story line on this
one. It had just the right amount of suspense to keep me guessing. And with all
of the different character, I wasn’t sure at first who the bad guy was.
What I did not:
Some parts were a little predictable. The romance was okay. It didn’t really grab me
for some reason.
Final Thoughts:
The Accused was an enjoyable and
entertaining book. Just beware that this is the first in a trilogy. If you are
one of those readers that like everything completely resolved by the end of the
novel, then you will be disappointed. If you are a fan of books with plenty of
mystery, ghosts, and a dash of romance, then this book will be right up your
alley. The second book in this series, The Betrayed
which involves Alaina’s younger sister, is expected to release on August 20th
2013.
Rating: 3½ out of 5.
