A prosecutor and lifelong criminal work together to stop a killer in this edgy, sexy, suspenseful page-turner set in Atlanta.

SHE'LL RISK EVERYTHING
Special prosecutor Kara Chandler is very good at her job, so good that a homicidal mastermind vows to kill her and everyone she cares about. Desperate to save herself and her son, Kara seeks out cartel hit man Luke Var?àö?â?n. The last time she dealt with Luke, she saw him beat the system and escape prison. But now, the most dangerous man she's ever met is the only one who can keep her alive.

HE'LL STOP AT NOTHING
Luke Varv=n isn't who he appears to be. After spending years in the criminal underworld, he seeks redemption . . . and revenge. Yet when he sees the fear in Kara's eyes, he can't walk away. People around her are being murdered, and only he can help uncover the killer's motive. Now as danger closes in, Kara and Luke must trust each other with their darkest secrets - before the evil in their lives destroys them both.

    This book proved to be very suspenseful and kept my interest until the very end. It is one of those books that you can't put down, you have to finish it, and the ending is very good. This is an author who knows how to write, plot and use dialogue to good advantage.

    I love Kate Brady's books and this was a really good one. Luke Varon was a great hero and the heroine, Kara Chandler, was a fine match for him. I like books where the main characters are older than their twenties and have more life experiences. Luke was in his late thirties and Kara in her early thirties. Where Evil Waits was a very sexy and exciting book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars ✨An intense, graphic and chilling tale of truth.✨
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2014
    My rating: 4 of 5 ⭐️

    It has been a year since ADA Kara Chandler's husband was killed in a hit and run and since then evidence has been growing that someone is after her and those she cares about. Her attempt to go to the police with her findings met with a devastating outcome and she fears there is only one avnue left open to her to save herself and her son.

    In a last ditch effort to find help, she approaches the man she prosecuted a year ago on murder charges. Luke Varon, hit man for a dangerous drug and weapons smuggling cartel, but also a man with far reaching resources that could help her and her son 'disappear'.

    Appearances deceive and Luke knows everything about that, in fact, he counts on it. He has lived a lie for years looking for justice. When he is approached by Kara he struggles to stay in character, but given her desparation, he can't turn her away.

    Trust doesn't come easy between the ADA and the hit man, but when danger closes in and they are forced to disclose more of their secrets, an unlikely bond is formed.

    ****

    A great read!!

    I have to admit, the first few pages I was a little rattled. The information seemed to be a bit disjointed and came fast and furious with little context to place it against. HOWEVER!!! Before long the framework of the story became clearer and the book fell into a steady flow.

    The book is a good one, a solid suspense novel with ample action and a secondary romance story that produces a touch of heat. The characters have an interesting chemistry that starts off as an involuntary antagonistic attraction.

    Kara is portrayed as quite the strong woman, stronger yet in the determination to keep her child safe. She is not helpless, but intelligent enough to know when she is out of her depth. In the turmoil and chaos of a life ripped apart, she re-discovers a side of herself that had long gone dormant.

    Luke has been a chameleon for so long, adapting to what his surroundings required, he has not had much reason or opportunity to consider his future. In a very short time, his focus shifted from what his objective had been over the last years, to Kara and her well-being. And with that the possibility of a future suddenly opened up.

    A very creepy psycho rounds out the main characters you will encounter in the book and I am not going into detail about him, except to say he is one sick puppy!!!

    For lovers of the the romantic suspense genre....a little heavier on the suspense, this is for you!

    ✨An intense, graphic and chilling tale of truth.✨

    Chilling. I loved the main characters of this book and their story but what kept me not wanting to put this down was the killer. He was down right creepy along with sick and perverted and just mezmorized you when he was on the pages. I liked every aspect of the book and am sad I'm finished. Lovers of romantic suspense this is the book for you.

    This book begins the Mann family saga. The first installment maintains the mystery and urgency of discovery throughout the entire book. Both the main and secondary characters provide realistic interactions. Enjoy, and hope that her third book in the series," Where Danger Hides" is published earlier than November of 2016,

    Just discovered this author and I must say her work is impressive! The book is fast paced thriller and kept me reading through the night. The romance element is not quite convincing - I didn't really feel the spark between the lead characters but on the whole it was a very good read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Where Evil Waits
    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2014
    In Where Evil Waits (Mann Family #2) by Kate Brady, people are dying around Kara. Thinking her husband's death was an accident, everything is in question now that Kara and her son are threatened. Receiving frightening 'gifts' and no longer safe, Kara, a prosecutor, seeks help from Luke. The one man who might be able to keep her safe.

    Luke is deeply involved in the criminal world, and not someone Kara would usually find herself associating with. But there is more to him than meets the eye, and Luke is going to do what he can to keep Kara and her son safe. Neither of them trust easily, but they no longer have a choice when they are trying to outrun a mad man with his own agenda.

    Kara and Luke both have things they are hiding, but secrets must come out for them to stay safe. The truth is so much more and different than either of them imagines. Will they find answers, and along the way a future neither of them expected? Or will it be too late?

    Kate sucked me in and kept me glued to the pages of Where Evil Waits! Kara and Luke are both strong characters. Kara is smart and loyal, and will do what it takes to keep her and her son safe. I would have liked a bit more background about Kara's adult life and marriage to help me know her better. Luke is also smart, loyal and so protective! Kate really brings him to life and made me love him from the start...no matter what brush he was painted with! I liked how Kara and Luke interacted and worked together with a subtle attraction nibbling around the edges. Their characters, their feelings are believable and very like-able.

    Kate gives an intriguing addition to Where Evil Waits with flashes of the killer/stalker's POV. This adds a very edgy dimension to an already action packed, suspenseful story.

    What you see isn't always what you get...sometimes you have to dig a lot deeper as Kate demonstrates well in various ways in Where Evil Waits. Where Evil Waits is fast paced and easy to become immersed in. Kate weaves the plot with lots of mystery and the unexpected to make you stay and find out what and why!

    I'd recommend Where Evil Waits to readers who enjoy a suspenseful mystery with romantic undertones.
