In A Taste For Killing, competing detectives Carolyn Woods and Jack Heart are both hired to solve a murder, only to realize they are working the same case. To complicate things, Carolyn and Jack have an on again, off again relationship. Then there is Evan Jones, a handsome architect, but he's also a suspect. In A Taste For Danger, Jack Heart drinks to forget. His apartment is in shambles, he's cut himself off from all his friends, and he stumbles to the couch every night in a drunken daze. All that changes when he receives a phone call with a job offer from a man he barely knew. From the very beginning, you know that A Taste For Mystery: Two Novellas by KD Rose is more than just a straight up mystery. These novellas have incredible relationships, characters, and a romance to keep you up at night, turning pages so fast to get to the end of the story.

I loved how the two novellas collided. Reading two novellas is always a nice surprise, especially when they play off one another and twist into each other. It was interesting enough to read two separate stories, but to have characters shift and return in different roles was a nice surprise. It is always nice when you read a story and discover that you already know one of the characters. It feels like you've reconnected with an old friend. There are things that you already know about this character, you feel a bond with him or are rooting for her all of the way. But I also liked how the stories were separate. While there was some crossover, the stories could stand on their own, which was refreshing as well. Nice job!
