In the game of deception, who pulls the strings?

    Well, well, well...I was not expecting that from KB Winters! I've read several of her books & this was a bit out of her "norm". I'm soooo glad she wrote this story!! I absolutely loved it & can not wait for more Shadow & Strings! Especially with that ending-damnit KB, you had to leave us with the text message?!?!?

    This story is so intense, full of horrorible murders, bodies mutilated! Police are unsure of who/whom could possibly be doing these, and whom
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024
    This was definitely a change in what KB usually writes. It took me a few chapters until I really got engrossed in the plot of the story. Damien and Frankie are definitely opposites of each other. Damien is a Billionaire Technology Expert by day and a vengeance killer by night. Frankie is a Homicide Detective chasing a serial killer. Damien becomes obsessed with Frankie and ends up dating her while still hiding that he is the serial killer she is hunting.
    I received a ARC copy of the book and I am volunteering to leave a honest review.

    WOW! I've read KB Winters books for years and have loved them all. BUT, this story is a whole new level of madness, hotness, and suspense! I couldn't put this book down once I got started! I didn't want to read it because of lunatic Damien, but I had to know!! Clear your schedule when you start reading this, you won't want to put it down.

    Frankie is a detective and has a serial killer on her hands, so she thinks. Her partner, Jay keeps reeling her in because there is a possibility it isn't. She's good at her job, but this one has her stumped. The killer is precise in every murder he commits and leaves no clues. Every murderer eventually leaves a clue, right?

    Damien is a tech wizard by day, but at night he's a different person out for revenge. He's become obsessed with Detective Francesca DeMarco. He knows she's looking for him, which she'll never know about his other life, but she won't see it coming when he catches her in his web of deceit and gruesomeness. Pity, because she makes him feel things he's only felt for one other person.

    This is the first story in this series, and there is a cliffhanger. I have my suspicions about certain people, can't wait to see if I'm correct. Hopefully, the author doesn't make us wait too long for the second installment of this series.

    This is the 1st book in the new Shadows and Strings series a riveting steamy psychological thriller. Damien and Frankie's story shows us a completely different level of intensity, madness, obsession and suspense. Their story keeps you on the edge of your seat and it keeps you turning the pages to see if the detective Frankie will catch the serial killer that she's been hunting. Then the sexy enigma Damien enters her life and little does she know that the rich tech wizard is one man by day and another at night and he's become obsessed with Frankie. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this riveting steamy psychological thriller full of heat,intensity, madness, obsession and suspense to see what happens. This book does end on a cliffhanger so I can't wait for the next book to see where we go from here.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    First book of a trilogy. This was so good, getting viewpoints of both detective and serial killer. And the way he is drawn to her is delicious. He gives her pleasure like she has never known. There is a lot of story not given yet since this is only book one. I like that Even though she is a workaholic, she has good friends from work, especially Jay.

    I did not realize that this was the start of a new series and would end in a HUGE cliffhanger, so beware. That being said, I am TOTALLY invested and addicted to getting my hands on the next installment in the Shadows and Strings series which is a deviation from the "usual" writing of KB Winters. Detective Francesca DeMarco is a homicide detective that is trying to discover the identity of a killer terrorizing her city but is stumped at finding a connection between the victims so the murders can be categized as the work of a Serial Killer. Until a sexy, rich mysterious man enters Frankie's life, her life has revolved around her job. Damien Wolfe has many secrets and as Ms. Winter has mesmerized her readers like Damien has intrigued Frankie and lures her into his world. The cliffhanger has me wondering if Frankie is trapped in Damien's web and to what conclusion or is there a chance for an HEA between the two if the secrets threatening to tear them apart are actually kept secret. I hope book 2 is released VERY SOON!.
