About this ebook

Racing at Virginia's beautiful Colonial Downs twists into a nightmare for jockey Nicky Latrelle.  A sociopath sells diet cocktails – killing jockeys who struggle to make racing weight.

           Alarming events greet Nicky and exercise rider Lorna Doone upon their arrival at Colonial –  strange noises echo in the nighttime woods, a man with haunted eyes drags a dirt-smeared shovel from the forest, and the body of a burn victim lies on the road outside the track. 

          Nicky's unease turns to dismay when bad-boy Bobby Duvayne mesmerizes young Lorna with his raw sexuality and a dangerous supply of drugs. 

          A hidden meth lab, an old family secret, a body buried years ago in the woods, and Lorna's disappearance pull Nicky into a race against death.

    While the story wasn't overly exciting and didn't grab me, it was still a solid book. The writing was strong and the characters were well-fleshed out.

    I can't express how much I loved this book! I grabbed the reins of this read and had the ride of my life until the finish line. Instantly I fell in love with the characters, especially Nikki Latrelle, the girl who came from a life of hard knocks but is determined to rise above her past to do what she loves well, that being a horse jockey. Nikki has a personality that makes you love and respect her, even as a reader. She may be in a male dominant sport, but that doesn't keep her from doing it because she loves it and wants nothing more than to be a jockey and take care of horses. Her attitude is also one to find amusing and humorous. Nikki is a fun girl with friends, but being from a rough past she has an attitude and personality tough as nails. She may not make friends super easy, but those she holds dear she would do anything for. Lorna Doone is another fascinating character, that's for sure. She may have a name that instantly makes you think of a sweet cookie, but don't let that fool you, she is a wild one with a hard to tame attitude. There are many more characters, but those two just had to be my favorites. Not only was I grabbed by the characters and how well they were developed, but the plot was amazing to me. There were many things going on in the plot for mysteries, but at no time was I confused. I loved the diet cocktail that was killing jockeys mystery and the underlying mystery of the questionable bourbon that held more mystery than alcohol. Then there was the mystery of Bobby himself, who just seems to mysterious to possibly be a good guy. It started off with a bang and the twists and turns of it didn't end until the very end of the book. I was constantly on edge waiting to read on and turn the pages to see what would happen next and what Nikki would have to face next. Also, all the horses and the settings for the story were great to read. I have a love for horses and I just loved reading about them along with the mystery plot. I could just picture all the beautiful horses that were described in this book along with the wonderful settings. I could see the story happen in my head as I read it, it was like watching a movie in my head, it was so clear. This book was very well written and I just loved every word and page of it. I will definitely be reading on in this series. This was a true work of art by a wonderful and very talented author. Sasscer Hill really won first place with this book in my eyes. Keep up the great work Hill! For sure one of my new favorite authors!5/5 Stars!!!Received free for honest review
