This one was a cute story with a slight suspenseful twist – but it was definitely such fun to read!

We open up to a scene wherein the hero, Mike Hardin is being interrogated for the murder of a young woman, and it’s pretty easy to actually believe that he is innocent, especially after the monologue wherein he talks about his witch of an ex-wife; who is the one who is creating such suspicions.

But even through all this suspicions and the turmoil, he makes sure that he is there for his young son, making him a pretty wonderful father. While he is trying really hard not fall into romantic entanglements, Grace is a woman who worms herself into his life and his heart!

Grace Bell, is a recent divorcee and definitely a person who isn’t that well versed in the art of romance! So when she meets a man who she is instantly attracted to, she is definitely interested for she has always been called a cold woman by her ex-husband.

What happens when she finds out that he is a murder suspect? And not just any murder suspect, but a psychopathic serial killer!?

What I loved about this story is the narration – you get a whole lot of multiple POV’s – from Mike’s to Grace’s to the cop who is investigating the murders, Harry’s and then last but definitely not the least, the killers – what it does is provides a 360 view of the plot, the characters in real time, and thus it becomes like a motion picture inside your head.

The characters are quite wonderful – Mike is a brilliant and an amazing hero, Grace takes a while to get used to (I couldn’t fathom a 30+ year old giggling at every word at the start!); Harry is a typical relentless cop who doesn’t let go of his convictions; but most of all I adored the relationship between Mike and his son, Brayden. And while Grace and Mike’s relationship couldn’t be called Insta-Love, it came quite close to it (hence, my mixed feelings about it!).

The suspense is where Tattoo Killer falls a bit short – it didn’t take me long to figure who the real killer was – yet I still enjoyed reading the story, for I needed to know that these characters also figured out and everything ended the way it was supposed to!

All in all, it was a fun few hours I spent with this book, and I am looking forward to where this series might go.
