Description

Attorney Amanda Doucette thought she had left the chaos of her past behind, but in the fog-drenched streets of San Francisco, danger has a way of finding its way back to her. After a series of inexplicable events threaten to unravel her carefully constructed life, Amanda is forced into a high-stakes legal battle that blurs the lines between professional duty and personal survival. As she digs deeper into a sprawling criminal conspiracy, she crosses paths with an enigmatic woman whose presence is as mysterious as it is magnetic. Their chemistry sparks amidst the heavy tension of the courtroom and the dangerous, hidden corners of the city. But trust is a luxury neither can afford when a shadow syndicate—and something far more inexplicable—is pulling the strings from the darkness. This installment of the San Francisco Mystery series masterfully weaves pulse-pounding thriller elements with a delicate, slow-burn lesbian romance. Balancing complex legal maneuvering with supernatural threads, the narrative invites readers into a world where every piece of evidence could be a trap. Filled with sharp wit, atmospheric suspense, and an undeniable slow-burn connection, Amanda’s Dragonfly is a gripping mystery that proves sometimes the most lethal secrets are the ones hidden in plain sight.

Successful, thrilling sequel

“She wanted to kill Nutini herself, because killing Eddy hadn’t been enough. Nutini had to pay a price.” “In the span of two months Jen had become everything to Amanda. Not just a lover. Not just her best friend. Her soul mate. And it was scary. Scarier than anything Amanda had ever felt.” “The need for revenge corrupted Amanda’s prosecutorial oath. His death had changed her. She was determined to bring Nutini to justice, one way or another.” “She’ll soon learn that every problem in life can be fixed—except death. No one can fix death—in fact or fiction. Especially, by more killing. One does not cure the other, as tempting as it might be to think so.” • ~ • ~ • ~ • An intriguing series continues with another good, entertaining story ratcheting up the intensity in the action, danger, passion & characters. Definitely curious about what's gonna come next?

Enjoyed the first book. This not so much.

The first book in the series was a nice combination of police procedural and lesbian romance. I enjoyed the interaction between the main characters and liked the mystery. Jen was a little hot-headed but Amanda was very cool: intelligent, diligent, powerful - not to mention rich and beautiful. What's not to like? But, gosh, the wheels fell off on part two. The police procedural was ditched for action adventure. Everyone dashed from one crisis to the next, guns blazing. Alcohol seemed to replace thought and planning. Amanda lost her drive and her moral compass. No one seemed to have any sense of appropriate public behavior, let alone personal boundaries. Plus I find it annoying - and a little demeaning - when lovers adopt cutsie little nicknames for each other. Heck, I didn't even like the picture on the cover.
