Review - Hidden Sins by Karice Bolton



Title: Hidden Sins (Luke Fletcher series, #1)
Author: Karice Bolton
Pages: 376
Publisher: Bulldog Press
Release date: 8th June 2014

Blurb from Goodreads:

Luke Fletcher asks himself one simple question. Is she worth dying for?
His answer is yes.

When Hannah Walker rolls into her new town on fumes, she doesn’t expect her past to catch up to her so quickly. But the moment her card is declined for a lousy cup of coffee, she realizes nowhere is safe, and her life on the run has just gotten more complex.

Luke Fletcher has made it his mission in life to protect. When he meets Hannah Walker, she makes it clear that his services aren’t needed and neither is he, but there’s something in her eyes that tells another story. Once he begins investigating the woman with many names, he realizes one thing is clear. Whoever, she’s running from won’t stop until she’s dead.

Determined to gain Hannah’s trust and break down her walls, Luke begins to share his own history, but where that leads could cost them more than their hearts as the sins of others threatens to destroy them both.








My Review:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Xpresso Book Tours and Karice Bolton*


DNF (1/5 stars)


Hannah Walker is on the run. 
Her hopes to escape her past are dashed when her credit card is declined making things more complicated.
Luke Fletcher works in security and tries to save everyone he can. Hannah instantly catches his attention. 
Luke can tell that she’s in trouble but Hannah refuses his help.


I enjoyed the prologue as it was intriguing and made me want to read on but after the first few chapters I lost interest. 
I couldn’t connect to the writing style or the characters. 

Unfortunately this wasn’t for me.

Excerpt:


I looked into his eyes as his words etched through the many layers of guilt and confusion that had become my comfort. My gaze fell to his mouth as he spoke and my mind ran wild with possibilities.
“You aren’t responsible for what’s happened to the people back at home or out here. You’re doing the best you can and that’s all you can ask of yourself,” he murmured.

I placed my hand on his shoulder as I leaned my body against his. “How do you know the right thing to say?” I asked, almost breathless.

“Years of therapy.” He smiled, pressing his forehead against mine, looking down at me.
The rawness of the emotions that swirled through my body was nothing compared to the feelings of desire I had for this man. The heat from his body rolled through mine, and I wanted nothing more than to be kissed. He ran his fingers along my spine as I felt my pulse quicken, his firmness pressing against me.
“The diners might be able to see us,” I whispered.
“Then let’s give them a show.”

Excerpt:


I sat in the passenger seat horrified, but I didn’t dare drag my gaze away. The world had been told zombies no longer threatened human existence. Yet I was staring at an onslaught of them taking slow, deliberate steps toward our vehicle. We had barely pulled into our driveway when the horde descended out of nowhere.

I managed to slide my fingers along the door to the electric lock. I didn’t know why I thought that would save us. The undead had never let a lock deter them before. I looked around our house and it looked untouched. These creatures were only in our yard, coming for us at a most vulnerable time.

Gavin attempted to take the car out of auto-drive, pressing the buttons frantically and commanding it with voice controls. The car only responded with words. We didn’t control it. The car controlled us.

“Pedestrians within minimum safe distance,” the car said, acknowledging Gavin’s attempts to drive us out of danger.

No shit! We want to run the pedestrians over.

Tiny beads of sweat began forming at my hairline as I watched Gavin repeatedly engage and disengage various controls. Nothing would let us override the car’s safety features.

Gavin’s foot pressed on the accelerator trying to override the computer system, but the car still refused to budge. His foot slid off the pedal, and he quickly replaced it.

Damn these self-driving cars!

The engine red-lined with each attempt from Gavin’s override, but the brain of the car overruled Gavin’s actions with every rev of the motor. Gavin kept shaking his head as his finger slid up and down the dashboard. He glanced at me, his green eyes connecting with mine. I didn’t want to believe what I saw behind them so I turned to look out the window.

I gripped the console as I watched the twitches and spasms of the zombies’ movements closing in on us. They were everywhere…the grass, the sidewalk, the driveway. There was no mistaking the rotting, grey flesh that exposed the muscle

and bone of the undead. They were something I’d run from countless times, but this time we had nowhere to run. The undead had us trapped. They would rip us to shreds in an instant.
