Nope…….I skimmed the last 1/3 because it was so boring. The characters were aggravating.

Highly romanticized version of ranch life set in CO. Lots of casual sexism--consensual sex initiated by a woman is "taking her virtue," blatant assumption that single working mom=bad mom, and the dangerous idea that men show they are really in love by being jealous and possessive. Martin doesn't say the murder victims deserved to be beaten and strangled to death for being cheating sluts, but clearly implies their choices lead to their murders. ?

LitStephanie In fact, several characters specifically state the female murder victims didn't deserve to be murdered, which makes a reader wonder why you would even need to say that if you weren't kind of thinking it. I managed to finish because the murder mystery itself is just intriguing enough, but the writing isn't great, and I can't recommend. 10mo

LitStephanie @paper.reveries before I posted this review, I seriously flipped to the copyright page, wondering if I was being too hard on the book. Even though there are cell phones, I thought maybe it was at least in the early days of cell phones, but nope! Copyright 2021. 10mo

Can always count on Kat Martin to get me out of a book slump! The Last Goodnight did exactly that. Ellie, a private investigator, is hired by Kade to figure out who murdered his wife 8 years prior. While Ellie tries to focus on the investigation, she can‘t help but get side tracked by a number of unexpected events, including Kade himself. While I enjoyed it, I really didn‘t care for how it all wrapped up.

I have been in the biggest reading slump lately so I decided to switch things up. I can always count on Kat Martin so when I saw The Last Goodnight at B&N, I couldn‘t pass it up!

Now I am hooked 😍📖

Ugh. This one isn't even good enough to justify taking a picture of. It was misogynistic & gross. I can't understand the high marks on Goodreads. Ellie has potential to be a great protagonist but the description of every person as "hot" & the sexual urges that take focus off the mystery were yucky. This felt like smut & that's not really my jam. ⭐⭐ Wish I would have DNF'd.

Leftcoastzen Sounds awful! 2y
LitStephanie Me too! A few chapters in, after reading an especially flat, cheesy paragraph about the main dude's attractiveness, I almost put it down and, after reading the entire sexist thing, I wish I would have. 10mo

Kade Logan, a Colorado rancher, said goodbye to his estranged wife eight years ago, and now they found her car. He hires a PI, Eleanor Bowman to help find the killer.

This is the first of The Blood Ties series by Kat Martin. This is a first read for me by this author.

The relationship between the characters is not really believable, and the sex scenes and sexual innuendo seems to overshadow the suspense of the real story.

FelinesAndFelonies Yeah... I didn't like this one at all. From page 11 on I wish I would have DNF'd. 2y
