About the Book:
Suspense and romance combine in Susan Sleeman's thrilling new novel about an FBI agent who must team up with a beautiful therapist to stop a killer with a deadly new weapon.
Some fears haunt you forever....
As the ballistics and weapon's expert for the FBI's special task force nicknamed the White Knights, Rick Cannon has known the Department of Defense was developing self-steering bullets. Rick feared these smart bullets--which have one hundred percent accuracy that can turn even a novice into a lethal sniper--would eventually end up in the hands of the wrong people. But since the ammunition was still in the development stage, he figured they had plenty of time before that happened. He was wrong. Dead wrong.
Until they become reality.
When a homeless vet is killed with a smart bullet, it's clear that the ammunition has been stolen, and the Knights are called in to find the thief and stop the killings. But they aren't the only ones desperate to find the killer. Therapist Olivia Dobbs is well known for her success in counseling military veterans with PTSD. When she discovers one of her clients moments after he is murdered, she becomes both the FBI's prime witness, and suspect.
Despite the mutual attraction that immediately sparks between them, Rick can't--no he won't--let Olivia interfere with his investigation. But when the sniper trains his rifle on her, Rick must recall all the skills he learned as a Marine sniper to make sure the next bullet fired isn't a kill shot that takes Olivia out.

My Thoughts:
I've always enjoyed Susan Sleeman's novels, but this one was far more than enjoyable--it was chilling in its rich and authentic detail. "Kill Shot" is a thrill ride from the first page until the final page turns. Just the thought of a real life scenario like the one Sleeman lays out in her novel sent shivers through my mind.
Both Olivia and Rick were well developed characters and I connected with them both very quickly. When all evidence points to Olivia being involved, for a brief moment I wondered about her guilt myself! The story is solid, the scenario is plausible, and the characters are realistic.
Out of all of Sleeman's series', I love her "White Nights" series more than any other, and that's something, because Sleeman is on my 'must read' list. Don't miss "Kill Shot", and do yourself a favor and pick up "Fatal Mistake" as well.
I'm giving "Kill Shot" my "packs a punch" stamp of approval, and sending my thanks to FaithWords for my complimentary copy with no services promised in exchange.
Until the next page turns,
Deena
