Sweetheart

Soooooo good. I thought the first in the series was good but this second one was even better. Fast paced

“Sweetheart” is the sequel to “Heartsick” both featuring hapless (and spleenless... don't ask)detective Archie Sheridan and America's sexiest serial killer Gretchen Lowell. Taken together they form a rather complex tale of masochism, sadism, disgusting behavior, horrific, even nauseating, perversion, and grue and gore. Needless to say, I loved every sick moment of it!

This second chapter continues the relationship between Archie and Gretchen and with a new mystery in the air we have a very engaging story. It delves deeper into their relationship providing new and exciting revelations. The mystery surrounding the deaths in the park is somewhat predictable in some parts, but keeps us turning the pages. It's true that the themes aren't the most original but in the end it works very well, with the main focus being the main characters struggle. I like it a little more than the first one because the introductions are done and now we can appreciate what the characters can give us. It is recommended to read the first one to better understand how they got here without missing too much information.
