Wicked (Shaye Archer Series Book 4)

Another interesting novel where the two biggest questions are who and why. Who is the person kidnapping and killing college students and what is the perpetrator's motive? Shaye and her adoptive mother are back home after escaping the fall out from the previous book "Diabolical". It helps to read the books in order as this picks up a couple of months from where the last book ended. Just when I thought Shaye's past was over, another one of her memories pops up which may be dealt with in a future book to see what comes of it. Detective Jackson and Shaye's relationship slowly progresses which is fine with me. The end of the book answered all the questions as to the killer's motives pretty much listing everything. Seemed a bit abrupt, but the questions concerning the crimes were answered. There are a few things that bothered me in this book. Without giving anything away, there is one event that is quite unbelievable in what happens. I also got extremely tired of the many characters who constantly "blew out a breath". The author could have deleted this comment and it wouldn't have affected the story. I'm surprised that it wasn't edited out with the overwhelming frequency this was repeated. It's happened in previous books, but I think it finally hit a nerve in me with this book. Also Clara , a nurse, had no problem violating HIPPA regulations looking up patient information for Shaye. It's illegal and she could have been fired no matter the circumstances. She would have left a paper trail requesting patient records. I would have liked the author to do more research to make the story more believable. Still found it an interesting read despite this.

Only one author can take you from book to book in a series and each book is different but a continuation of the last book. Only Jana DeLeon can do this and make you want more. How I hate for a book to end, every book, every part of the story is just GOOD! It always takes to the end of the book to figure out the evil villain. I had two in mind. You see Jan puts a innocuous sentence in the book, that sits in your mind. And so you don't see the villain right away. She also gives you obvious choices. This time there were two could be villains, one was a rouse. What I love about Jana's books are, a story well written, awesome characters, they are clean books no swearing, your interest never sways, it is as if she has invited you into her story. There is mystery, excitement, suspense, challenges, the books are just GOOD. The bad thing is the story ends and you have to wait. But Jana gives you a hint or a tease about next books topic. And I patiently wait as Jana's books are always worth the wait.

Amber Olivier was at a party and awoke in a coffin and no one was looking for her. Tara Chatry arrived at the New Orleans Police Department asking for help to locate her college friend Ethan Campbell. Ethan was the kind of guy who was very smart and had been tutoring Tara. Even his roommate Brett Frazier didn’t seem concern about someone who goes out for a soda and disappears. After getting nowhere when trying to report Ethan’s missing to Detective Vincent, Tara stopped at a nearby coffee shop and after hearing her story a waitress tells Tara to contact Shaye Archer. It was by chance that Shaye was even at her home when Tara came knocking. Shaye Archer and her adoptive mother Corrine had left New Orleans after Jonal Deremeau had rescued Shaye and who had started the blackmail against Pierce Archer (Shaye’s grandfather), years ago. Sneaking back to the home of Corrine Archer in the Garden district of New Orleans in the middle of the night, Shaye and Corrine had only let Corrine’s best friend Eleonore know they were home. Wearing La disguise Shaye went out early the next morning, stopping to see Jackson Lamotte, a detective with NOLA PD, and then sneaking into her house. Ethan’s had gotten some kind of strange code text message prior to his disappearance. The code was 19935192185 which didn’t make any sense. Once Shaye makes the decision to help Tara the mystery begins and keeps you on the edge of your seat. All your favorites Hustle and Saul his guardian, and Senior Detective Grayson, so late 2017 can’t come fast enough for the next novel of Shaye Archer.

All of these Shay Archer books are really pretty good........and then I took a breath....... interesting and exiting story lines....and then we all took a breath.......I really like the dynamic between Shay and her mom......and I blew out a breath.......if you've read them you totally get my sarcasm. Seriously I have enjoyed the series so far, starting on #5 now but the writers constant reference to the characters breathing is a distraction. Other than that I like them and recommend them. They have strong characters that you can relate to and Shay's kindness and need to help her clients is refreshing.

While I really enjoy the Shaye Archer books this one was a bit more disjointed for me. Repetitive at times, fragmented at others. Too much information, then too little. Still enjoyed it, but left me a bit flat

Shaye Archer has become one of my favorite characters. So much evil in her life, yet she survived it. And in WICKED, the follow-up to when her memories started flowing back, she proves even stronger. The story of texting/murder is engrossing. The collegiate characters are wonderfully drawn. And we're drawn into Shaye's newest memories. No spoilers here. Just read the book. It's fantastic.

When reading books like these, you always know that the perpetrator is introduced somewhere. You just don't know who it is. I thought I knew, but then it turned out to be someone else completely. That's what I love about DeLeon's books - half the time, I can guess correctly and it's fun finding out I'm right, but the other half of the time, I'm completely thrown off. Overall, a great book and a great series.

I have really enjoyed most of these books but research the meds propofol is not sometimes used for cancer patients. Propofol is milky white and cannot be added to water without it being noticed and it has a very fast half life and metabolizes very fast. Minutes so not practical for abduction . Jackson has killed someone in every book so far may want to a bit of variety.

You can't go wrong with a Jana DeLeon series, whether it is the Mudbug series, the Miss Fortune series or the Shaye Archer series. I have been working my way slowly through the Shaye Archer series. Just finished Wicked and bought Unseen today and will be reading it later. I have to save it till I have lots of time because if it is like the others, once I start reading I won't be able to stop until I finish. Wicked left me wanting desperately to know what happens next.

I should have written a review of the first 3 books, but am finally taking a break from immediately downloading the next book in the series because it isn't out yet. Absolutely riveting continuing story! I can't wait for the next one! Ms Jana DeLeon has done a great job at keeping me up all night reading because her stories are hard to put down. The characters are all so interesting, and the plots are intertwined with a budding love story, pure evil, and cunning detective skills, along with personal relationships that make you want to know more and more and more! I think I found a new favorite author! Got to go download another of her works....even though it's after 1am.

That's what I love about DeLeon's books - half the time, I can guess correctly and it's fun finding out I'm right, but the other half of the time, I'm completely thrown off. Overall, a great book and a great series.

I have really enjoyed most of these books but research the meds propofol is not sometimes used for cancer patients. Propofol is milky white and cannot be added to water without it being noticed and it has a very fast half life and metabolizes very fast. Minutes so not practical for abduction . Jackson has killed someone in every book so far may want to a bit of variety.

You can't go wrong with a Jana DeLeon series, whether it is the Mudbug series, the Miss Fortune series or the Shaye Archer series. I have been working my way slowly through the Shaye Archer series. Just finished Wicked and bought Unseen today and will be reading it later. I have to save it till I have lots of time because if it is like the others, once I start reading I won't be able to stop until I finish. Wicked left me wanting desperately to know what happens next.

I should have written a review of the first 3 books, but am finally taking a break from immediately downloading the next book in the series because it isn't out yet. Absolutely riveting continuing story! I can't wait for the next one! Ms Jana DeLeon has done a great job at keeping me up all night reading because her stories are hard to put down. The characters are all so interesting, and the plots are intertwined with a budding love story, pure evil, and cunning detective skills, along with personal relationships that make you want to know more and more and more! I think I found a new favorite author! Got to go download another of her works....even though it's after 1am.

This series gets better and better with each book. The victims are sad but the mystery is very suspenseful. I'm really curious about what Corrine is thinking about doing now. I'm excited with the little bit of progress with the romance between Shaye and Jackson. Jackson understands that after the years of brutal torture, he has to take it slow with Shaye. I can't wait to see if Shaye's memory is accurate or not.

Another psycho kidnapping and murdering young people. Shaye agrees to help find a missing teen and ends up on a psychological nightmare killer case. Interesting story. Fast paced. Plenty of twists and surprises

I had a hard time putting the book down! It keeps you guessing to the very end! I would highly recommend this book! I had stumbled onto this series and am so glad I did! Can't wait to read the next one!

As a fan of Jana, I absolutely love her books. This one is no different. Shayne Archer is a dedicated private investigator who loves helping the underdogs. In the series, you can't help but cheer for her. I try playing private eye as well, trying to figure out Who Done It. It doesn't work. Do yourself a favor and read these books.

I have loved all of these until this one. I really hate it when the characters are simply TSTL, even if they are young. Tara’s character was TSTL throughout the book and what a whiner.

At this point in this series I can’t read each book fast enough. The thrill the adrenaline and the constant twist and turns are great. This book for me I thought I had it figured out several times and never figured it out until Shay did. Highly recommend

I really enjoyed this novel. Very well written. Had a very surprising storyline. Had me guessing til almost the very end. I never would have guessed it was the person that it ended up being that was the killer. I really like this author looking forward to the next book. Most definitely recommend this series.

I have been reading this series straight for two days and want more, but now have wait. Shaye Archer has had a hard life but she keeps fighting. She is a new P.I. Who has a trust fund. She can help those that can't afford to pay. She gets a college student who is concerned about a missing friend. Shaye finds that there is more than one student missing. This a darker series, but good.

this was not a very complex plot there were some bright spots in the story line but I had a hard time wanting ti finish this book kind of too run of the mill I was surprised as she is such a entertaining author , but I will read her other endeavors as I am rarely dissatisfied in her books

An excellent addition to the series. Fast paced with shifting POVs. The mystery was good. Shaye's investigation was interesting. Some recurring characters returned. This was a suspenseful page turner that I stayed up way too late reading. This is an excellent series with darker subject matter than the author's other series.

Another interesting novel where the two biggest questions are who and why. Who is the person kidnapping and killing college students and what is the perpetrator's motive? Shaye and her adoptive mother are back home after escaping the fall out from the previous book "Diabolical". It helps to read the books in order as this picks up a couple of months from where the last book ended. Just when I thought Shaye's past was over, another one of her memories pops up which may be dealt with in a future book to see what comes of it. Detective Jackson and Shaye's relationship slowly progresses which is fine with me. The end of the book answered all the questions as to the killer's motives pretty much listing everything. Seemed a bit abrupt, but the questions concerning the crimes were answered. There are a few things that bothered me in this book. Without giving anything away, there is one event that is quite unbelievable in what happens. I also got extremely tired of the many characters who constantly "blew out a breath". The author could have deleted this comment and it wouldn't have affected the story. I'm surprised that it wasn't edited out with the overwhelming frequency this was repeated. It's happened in previous books, but I think it finally hit a nerve in me with this book. Also Clara , a nurse, had no problem violating HIPPA regulations looking up patient information for Shaye. It's illegal and she could have been fired no matter the circumstances. She would have left a paper trail requesting patient records. I would have liked the author to do more research to make the story more believable. Still found it an interesting read despite this.

Only one author can take you from book to book in a series and each book is different but a continuation of the last book. Only Jana DeLeon can do this and make you want more. How I hate for a book to end, every book, every part of the story is just GOOD! It always takes to the end of the book to figure out the evil villain. I had two in mind. You see Jan puts a innocuous sentence in the book, that sits in your mind. And so you don't see the villain right away. She also gives you obvious choices. This time there were two could be villains, one was a rouse. What I love about Jana's books are, a story well written, awesome characters, they are clean books no swearing, your interest never sways, it is as if she has invited you into her story. There is mystery, excitement, suspense, challenges, the books are just GOOD. The bad thing is the story ends and you have to wait. But Jana gives you a hint or a tease about next books topic. And I patiently wait as Jana's books are always worth the wait.

Amber Olivier was at a party and awoke in a coffin and no one was looking for her. Tara Chatry arrived at the New Orleans Police Department asking for help to locate her college friend Ethan Campbell. Ethan was the kind of guy who was very smart and had been tutoring Tara. Even his roommate Brett Frazier didn’t seem concern about someone who goes out for a soda and disappears. After getting nowhere when trying to report Ethan’s missing to Detective Vincent, Tara stopped at a nearby coffee shop and after hearing her story a waitress tells Tara to contact Shaye Archer. It was by chance that Shaye was even at her home when Tara came knocking. Shaye Archer and her adoptive mother Corrine had left New Orleans after Jonal Deremeau had rescued Shaye and who had started the blackmail against Pierce Archer (Shaye’s grandfather), years ago. Sneaking back to the home of Corrine Archer in the Garden district of New Orleans in the middle of the night, Shaye and Corrine had only let Corrine’s best friend Eleonore know they were home. Wearing La disguise Shaye went out early the next morning, stopping to see Jackson Lamotte, a detective with NOLA PD, and then sneaking into her house. Ethan’s had gotten some kind of strange code text message prior to his disappearance. The code was 19935192185 which didn’t make any sense. Once Shaye makes the decision to help Tara the mystery begins and keeps you on the edge of your seat. All your favorites Hustle and Saul his guardian, and Senior Detective Grayson, so late 2017 can’t come fast enough for the next novel of Shaye Archer.

All of these Shay Archer books are really pretty good........and then I took a breath....... interesting and exiting story lines....and then we all took a breath.......I really like the dynamic between Shay and her mom......and I blew out a breath.......if you've read them you totally get my sarcasm. Seriously I have enjoyed the series so far, starting on #5 now but the writers constant reference to the characters breathing is a distraction. Other than that I like them and recommend them. They have strong characters that you can relate to and Shay's kindness and need to help her clients is refreshing.

While I really enjoy the Shaye Archer books this one was a bit more disjointed for me. Repetitive at times, fragmented at others. Too much information, then too little. Still enjoyed it, but left me a bit flat

Shaye Archer has become one of my favorite characters. So much evil in her life, yet she survived it. And in WICKED, the follow-up to when her memories started flowing back, she proves even stronger. The story of texting/murder is engrossing. The collegiate characters are wonderfully drawn. And we're drawn into Shaye's newest memories. No spoilers here. Just read the book. It's fantastic.

Shaye Archer is an amazing woman and a great tools model. Jana DeLeon always has powerful amazing women in her books and this series is about an even more amazing woman. There are other strong females in all of her books. I love this series because the women over come evil and move on with their lives. These are more dark than her other books but they are serious and show us characters who live through terrible experiences and keep going. Another great book!

Jana DeLeon keeps rolling out the brilliant Shaye Archer Series. Each book is better than the last! YOU don't want to miss the twists and turns.

Another Shaye Archer thriller that will keep you on your toes! With her richly-drawn characters, Ms. DeLeon takes us on a rollercoaster ride through New Orleans. Will she be able to save the abducted college student from the serial killer? Will Shaye and Jackson ever face their feelings for one another? WICKED is wicked good!

Another great book by Jana! Bringing back all the characters you've grown to love in the first books. I will never figure out how writers come up with the story lines for their books, but I'm very happy Jana keeps doing it. She gets me hooked from the first word and leaves me longing for the last one. I can't wait for the next Shaye Archer book...keep emotion coming.

Serial killer on campus? This installment of the Shay Archer series involves a complicated game gone wrong. Just how smart do you have to be to get away with murder?

Loved how it all came together. And I couldn't guess who the killer was. I enjoyed every minute of this book. Some books you can guess what happens next, but with this one there are many surprises. I don't want to give away the surprises so just read this book and enjoy. I did!!

The Shaye Archer books are great. You never see what's coming and they suck you right in with lots of twists and turns. I suggest reading from number 1, and not starting with this one, as it's best to have all the background information. But definitely worth reading them all!

I was hooked from the first page of the first book in this series. Wonderful characters and great story lines. The stories unfold with just enough foreshadowing to keep me guessing. Read one and you'll have to read them all!

This is a different and complete story. It grabs your attention from the very first. I had a hard time deciding who the guilty person was until the very end. I've read the other three books in the same series and knew it would be a good book.

I found this after reading her Fortune Series, a totally different style. I like the main character her perseverance and the truthful feel to her trying to overcome her past horrors. She is down to earth, both herself and her adopted mother who could be so Kardashian if they chose to. Thank goodness this didn't go that direction. I found another series I will be waiting for the new releases adding to my long list of waiting for the next book in the series.

Wow. I cannot get enough of this author. This rarely happens to me. Normally the sophomore book bores me to death. But I cannot stop needing to know all about the main characters!

The Shaye Archer series is my favorite! The great news is that the end of the year another continuation of the series will come out . I couldn't stop reading this book. There were so many times you just couldn't stop turning the pages because the suspense was that intense and I highly recommend this book to all !

I can't stop reading this series. Each book keeps getting better than the last now I can't wait to start the next book.

I like the characters in the book a lot so I hope there will be more books in this series. The book is well written and there is a good amount of suspense. It is an easy read, very enjoyable.

Started my love of strong smart funny women sleuths with Janet Evonovitch and Jana Deleon is every bit as great. I love all her books.

I'm enjoying this author. Entertaining, keeps my attention, and most importantly isn't cookie cutter! Other series frequently become predictable, not so with the adventures of Shaye Archer. Looking forward to the next one.

I read the first 4 books back-to-back. Unfortunately each consecutive book became repetitive and predictable. There is little tension and even the romantic aspects are trite. The characters are one-dimensional, the plots are repetitive, and the editing was questionable. Recently I have read several "series" books by several authors, among which are: Jenna Bennet and Savannah Martin series; Denise Grover Swank and Rose Gardner series; and now Jana DeLeon and Shay Archer series. In all three noted series, each book became less enjoyable and lacked freshness. It makes me long for the trilogies of yore! Unless something compelling appears and changes my mind, I have read my last Shay Archer book.

I have enjoyed all the books. Unbelievable what this character went through and is still strong. Love the items about foster care and the ups and downs. Street kids get to tell a good story also.

Love this series. This book was as good as the others, full of plot twists and surprises. I can't wait to read more about the characters. I also love her Miss Fortune series. It's amazing to me she can write the humorous mystery like Miss Fortune and such a thriller like Shaye Archer. Great writer.

Murder and true mayhem ! Great expression of the staked victims feelings. Victimization is the real crime and that becomes so clear in Jana deLeon's writings.

Shaye is such a strong, lovable character. After all she's been through, all she wants is to help others. This is a great series with some intense storylines. It's so suspenseful that I find it hard to break away. I want to read the book all at once. Good job!!

I should no better than to start a Shaye Archer book at bed time because once started, there is no way to put it down. (truth be told, don't start any Jana DeLeon book at night because you'll be up all night reading it!) I loved this book. Full of suspense, great characters and dialogue!

Another great Shaye Archer! The plot, the characters and the series all flow nicely together with page turning suspense. This book was zeroed right in on the action at the very first page.

Another great read about Shaye and what a great Detective she is. The other characters are just as wonderful. The serial killer was difficult to identify as was the reason. Interesting was thatched Jackson got to work together and their relationship seems to be growing.

The Shayne Archer series you don’t want to put down. I have read her other books as well. Her range of writing is amazing.

This is an amazing series!! I can’t stop reading!! Highly recommend!!!

I hate waiting. It felt one forever waiting for this book and it's bittersweet because it only took 2 days to finish and now I'm waiting again. I've missed Shaye so much. I know I'm supposed to be discussing the actual book but read it for yourself! I loved it, as usual.

This book kept my attention. I didn't put it down until I finished it. I am looking forward to the next book, I can't wait to find out where it leads Shaye. There is a surprising twist at the end. And I am hoping to see more development in her relationship with Jackson.

This is an absolutely fantastic addition to a fantastic series. I have fallen in love with the characters, and cannot wait for the next book to find out how the cliffhanger ends. The characters are complex and interesting, and I have especially enjoyed the development of Shaye and Jackson's relationship. The recurring characters are also great and add a lot of colour to the books. This series has become one of my top three favourites, great job Jana DeLeon!

As with the previous books in this series, I couldn't put it down and reaching the end of the book sent me right off to buy the next one.

Another interesting novel where the two biggest questions are who and why. Who is the person kidnapping and killing college students and what is the perpetrator's motive? Shaye and her adoptive mother are back home after escaping the fall out from the previous book "Diabolical". It helps to read the books in order as this picks up a couple of months from where the last book ended. Just when I thought Shaye's past was over, another one of her memories pops up which may be dealt with in a future book to see what comes of it. Detective Jackson and Shaye's relationship slowly progresses which is fine with me. The end of the book answered all the questions as to the killer's motives pretty much listing everything. Seemed a bit abrupt, but the questions concerning the crimes were answered. There are a few things that bothered me in this book. Without giving anything away, there is one event that is quite unbelievable in what happens. I also got extremely tired of the many characters who constantly "blew out a breath". The author could have deleted this comment and it wouldn't have affected the story. I'm surprised that it wasn't edited out with the overwhelming frequency this was repeated. It's happened in previous books, but I think it finally hit a nerve in me with this book. Also Clara , a nurse, had no problem violating HIPPA regulations looking up patient information for Shaye. It's illegal and she could have been fired no matter the circumstances. She would have left a paper trail requesting patient records. I would have liked the author to do more research to make the story more believable. Still found it an interesting read despite this.

Only one author can take you from book to book in a series and each book is different but a continuation of the last book. Only Jana DeLeon can do this and make you want more. How I hate for a book to end, every book, every part of the story is just GOOD! It always takes to the end of the book to figure out the evil villain. I had two in mind. You see Jan puts a innocuous sentence in the book, that sits in your mind. And so you don't see the villain right away. She also gives you obvious choices. This time there were two could be villains, one was a rouse. What I love about Jana's books are, a story well written, awesome characters, they are clean books no swearing, your interest never sways, it is as if she has invited you into her story. There is mystery, excitement, suspense, challenges, the books are just GOOD. The bad thing is the story ends and you have to wait. But Jana gives you a hint or a tease about next books topic. And I patiently wait as Jana's books are always worth the wait.

Amber Olivier was at a party and awoke in a coffin and no one was looking for her. Tara Chatry arrived at the New Orleans Police Department asking for help to locate her college friend Ethan Campbell. Ethan was the kind of guy who was very smart and had been tutoring Tara. Even his roommate Brett Frazier didn’t seem concern about someone who goes out for a soda and disappears. After getting nowhere when trying to report Ethan’s missing to Detective Vincent, Tara stopped at a nearby coffee shop and after hearing her story a waitress tells Tara to contact Shaye Archer. It was by chance that Shaye was even at her home when Tara came knocking. Shaye Archer and her adoptive mother Corrine had left New Orleans after Jonal Deremeau had rescued Shaye and who had started the blackmail against Pierce Archer (Shaye’s grandfather), years ago. Sneaking back to the home of Corrine Archer in the Garden district of New Orleans in the middle of the night, Shaye and Corrine had only let Corrine’s best friend Eleonore know they were home. Wearing La disguise Shaye went out early the next morning, stopping to see Jackson Lamotte, a detective with NOLA PD, and then sneaking into her house. Ethan’s had gotten some kind of strange code text message prior to his disappearance. The code was 19935192185 which didn’t make any sense. Once Shaye makes the decision to help Tara the mystery begins and keeps you on the edge of your seat. All your favorites Hustle and Saul his guardian, and Senior Detective Grayson, so late 2017 can’t come fast enough for the next novel of Shaye Archer.

All of these Shay Archer books are really pretty good........and then I took a breath....... interesting and exiting story lines....and then we all took a breath.......I really like the dynamic between Shay and her mom......and I blew out a breath.......if you've read them you totally get my sarcasm. Seriously I have enjoyed the series so far, starting on #5 now but the writers constant reference to the characters breathing is a distraction. Other than that I like them and recommend them. They have strong characters that you can relate to and Shay's kindness and need to help her clients is refreshing.

While I really enjoy the Shaye Archer books this one was a bit more disjointed for me. Repetitive at times, fragmented at others. Too much information, then too little. Still enjoyed it, but left me a bit flat

Shaye Archer has become one of my favorite characters. So much evil in her life, yet she survived it. And in WICKED, the follow-up to when her memories started flowing back, she proves even stronger. The story of texting/murder is engrossing. The collegiate characters are wonderfully drawn. And we're drawn into Shaye's newest memories. No spoilers here. Just read the book. It's fantastic.

When reading books like these, you always know that the perpetrator is introduced somewhere. You just don't know who it is. I thought I knew, but then it turned out to be someone else completely. That's what I love about DeLeon's books - half the time, I can guess correctly and it's fun finding out I'm right, but the other half of the time, I'm completely thrown off. Overall, a great book and a great series.

I have really enjoyed most of these books but research the meds propofol is not sometimes used for cancer patients. Propofol is milky white and cannot be added to water without it being noticed and it has a very fast half life and metabolizes very fast. Minutes so not practical for abduction . Jackson has killed someone in every book so far may want to a bit of variety.

You can't go wrong with a Jana DeLeon series, whether it is the Mudbug series, the Miss Fortune series or the Shaye Archer series. I have been working my way slowly through the Shaye Archer series. Just finished Wicked and bought Unseen today and will be reading it later. I have to save it till I have lots of time because if it is like the others, once I start reading I won't be able to stop until I finish. Wicked left me wanting desperately to know what happens next.

I should have written a review of the first 3 books, but am finally taking a break from immediately downloading the next book in the series because it isn't out yet. Absolutely riveting continuing story! I can't wait for the next one! Ms Jana DeLeon has done a great job at keeping me up all night reading because her stories are hard to put down. The characters are all so interesting, and the plots are intertwined with a budding love story, pure evil, and cunning detective skills, along with personal relationships that make you want to know more and more and more! I think I found a new favorite author! Got to go download another of her works....even though it's after 1am.

What just happened? What did I read? Way to keep me hooked! As always with this series, I was guessing until the end. I thought I had t this time, I knew who it was. I was wrong. I love this series. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I just love everything that this author has written.

Wow! Loved all the intrigue, couldn't' put the book down. Looking forward to the next episode in Shaye's story, thanks!

Even though I figured out the murderer in this one pretty quickly, nothing truly prepares you for the twisted story lines and the bombshells from the past that Jana gives you in a Shaye novel. This series has the perfect blend of action, suspense, and a touch of romance. Anxiously awaiting the next!

This series has me utterly hooked. The mysteries are never predictable, the characters make me care, and the writing is brilliant.

I chose this book because I had read the previous books in this series and I enjoyed them. However, I believe this book was my favorite of the series so far. I enjoyed the suspense and trying to figure out who the murderer was in the story. I gave it 5 stars because it held my interest until the last page was turned. I can't wait for the next book!

I love this series by Jana Deleon. It is so different from her other books in genre and is still very good. Jana is the type of author that can write both cozy mysteries and darker mysteries and excel in both classes.

It was hard to figure out who it was. Suspense and love. New friends and old as well. Happy they found the killer.

Book Four of the Shaye Archer series was another good story in the series. I find the characters to be very likeable to read about. Jana DeLeon has done it again. I look forward to more books in the series and from this author.

Love the series, can't get enough of it. Every time I finish one I have to get the next. A real page turner!!

Another interesting novel where the two biggest questions are who and why. Who is the person kidnapping and killing college students and what is the perpetrator's motive? Shaye and her adoptive mother are back home after escaping the fall out from the previous book "Diabolical". It helps to read the books in order as this picks up a couple of months from where the last book ended. Just when I thought Shaye's past was over, another one of her memories pops up which may be dealt with in a future book to see what comes of it. Detective Jackson and Shaye's relationship slowly progresses which is fine with me. The end of the book answered all the questions as to the killer's motives pretty much listing everything. Seemed a bit abrupt, but the questions concerning the crimes were answered. There are a few things that bothered me in this book. Without giving anything away, there is one event that is quite unbelievable in what happens. I also got extremely tired of the many characters who constantly "blew out a breath". The author could have deleted this comment and it wouldn't have affected the story. I'm surprised that it wasn't edited out with the overwhelming frequency this was repeated. It's happened in previous books, but I think it finally hit a nerve in me with this book. Also Clara , a nurse, had no problem violating HIPPA regulations looking up patient information for Shaye. It's illegal and she could have been fired no matter the circumstances. She would have left a paper trail requesting patient records. I would have liked the author to do more research to make the story more believable. Still found it an interesting read despite this.

This story was breathtaking and thrilling. It wasa page Turner. Totally unexpected villain. Love reading the series. Seeing how the characters develop.

This is the favorite book so far in the Shaye Archer series! Jana DeLeon is such a great author. Her books just seem to flow, and each one gets better than the last. Can't wait to read the next one in this series and anything else she writes!

Shaye Archer is a favorite character of mine and I love every book she's in. The mystery and suspense are always spot on, the writing will sweep you in and you can feel the emotions coming off of the pages. The relationship ships are always progressing and if you're a Jackson fan, you'll be delighted with this book.

As usual, a well written story that kept you guessing at every twist and turn. This mystery is definitely worth reading.

Loved this installment. Kind of frustrated at the slow Jackson/Shay relationship but it’s true to both characters and the story arc. Really great writing and keeps you guessing (though I did figure out the villain 2/3of the way through.

A really gripping series! The only clue to why college kids are disappearing and ultimately murdered, is a cryptic text message. Shaye must solve the riddle and soon, before the next victim is abducted.

Jana Deleon really know how to tell a story. I really enjoy the Shane Archer series. It is intense and full of great characters. Thank you Jana Deleon for being so creative and putting your heart in all of your work.

Another Shaye Archer Detective Murder Mystery, darkly done and wrapped up conclusively by the last page. The mysteries of Shaye’s past keep unraveling as well, with more disclosures to come.

Another intense story with Shaye Archer and her group of characters. Really liking the way these stories are put together , they keep you guessing!!

I have read every book in this series (as well as the other series by Jana Deleon). I like Shaye Archer's character and enjoyed this book immensely

Jana has kept you guessing which way her stories unfold. With each story you try to put Shaye's story together but keep getting a piece that you never expect. I recommend these books for the crime solver in most of us. Keeps you guessing till the last line and the throws in a twist.

I enjoyed the read but did figure out ‘who done it’ halfway through. Always enjoy this author’s writings.

This series is amazing! Keeps me on the edge of my seat, and always surprises me. I actually love all of her books and always buy them right away!! Great stories and characters!!

DeLeon consistently delivers a great storyline, chilling detail and realistic character growth. True to character, this book was a great tead, it was hard to put down.

This Shaye Archer newest book is another winner you won't want to put down once you start. It has twists and surprises, and what I like best is the clean way the author ties everything up and leaves no loose ends. Great job Miss DeLeon

Loved the book. Jana didn't disappoint on this one either. Loved the ending. Getting ready to read the next one in the Shaye Archer series. Can't image what I'm going to do when I come to the end of the series.

Couldn't put it down! Since, have finished all 6 in the series in the past 2 weeks. Really enjoyed.

The fourth Shaye Archer book was another 5 star book and I can't wait to read the next book when it comes out! Jana DeLeon is a VERY talented writer and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books!

I continue to really enjoy this series. The characters are believable and the story moves along well. It’s a great way to spend the afternoon.

page turner, hard to put down

This latest entry in the Shaye Archer series is the best yet! A solid plot, great characters and a can't put it down sense of urgently, I highlighted recommending this. Entire series!

I love these Shaye Archer series. They are so mysterious and interesting and always keeps me guessing on who the mystery person is. Now what is the mystery in the next book about Shaye????

Fourth book in the Shaye Archer series and this one was just as great as the rest! I recommend reading all the books in this series. Love Shaye and Jackson . Lot of suspense. LOVED!

I can never get enough of her books. Her writing is phenomenal. I'm hooked from the beginning. You need to pick any of her series of books you won't be disappointed. Luv luv luv her‼️‼️‼️

Jana DeLeon has yet to disappoint! Again, some predictable things, but all in all a great read! On to the next :-)

Wicked is the fourth book in the Shaye Archer series. I think what I enjoy the most are the characters. It's easy to get lost in their stories. This also brings out my inner detective.

A powerful read. Rich characters. Awesome storyline. Not one moment of regret. The strength of the the characters are fabulous. Jana Deleon always keeps me entertained and wanting more!!

4th in the series. I suggest you start with the first and go from there. This book can stand alone, but I think it would be more enjoyable if you read the others first.

With all of the plot twists, intensity & depth this book has it should have wearing signs. Enjoyed every page. Can not wait for #5!!!!!

Continuing telling the story of Shaye Archer, and about a college serial killer. A little bit boring this one, but the personal part keeps getting better.

Another interesting novel where the two biggest questions are who and why. Who is the person kidnapping and killing college students and what is the perpetrator's motive? Shaye and her adoptive mother are back home after escaping the fall out from the previous book "Diabolical". It helps to read the books in order as this picks up a couple of months from where the last book ended. Just when I thought Shaye's past was over, another one of her memories pops up which may be dealt with in a future book to see what comes of it. Detective Jackson and Shaye's relationship slowly progresses which is fine with me. The end of the book answered all the questions as to the killer's motives pretty much listing everything. Seemed a bit abrupt, but the questions concerning the crimes were answered. There are a few things that bothered me in this book. Without giving anything away, there is one event that is quite unbelievable in what happens. I also got extremely tired of the many characters who constantly "blew out a breath". The author could have deleted this comment and it wouldn't have affected the story. I'm surprised that it wasn't edited out with the overwhelming frequency this was repeated. It's happened in previous books, but I think it finally hit a nerve in me with this book. Also Clara , a nurse, had no problem violating HIPPA regulations looking up patient information for Shaye. It's illegal and she could have been fired no matter the circumstances. She would have left a paper trail requesting patient records. I would have liked the author to do more research to make the story more believable. Still found it an interesting read despite this.

Only one author can take you from book to book in a series and each book is different but a continuation of the last book. Only Jana DeLeon can do this and make you want more. How I hate for a book to end, every book, every part of the story is just GOOD! It always takes to the end of the book to figure out the evil villain. I had two in mind. You see Jan puts a innocuous sentence in the book, that sits in your mind. And so you don't see the villain right away. She also gives you obvious choices. This time there were two could be villains, one was a rouse. What I love about Jana's books are, a story well written, awesome characters, they are clean books no swearing, your interest never sways, it is as if she has invited you into her story. There is mystery, excitement, suspense, challenges, the books are just GOOD. The bad thing is the story ends and you have to wait. But Jana gives you a hint or a tease about next books topic. And I patiently wait as Jana's books are always worth the wait.

Amber Olivier was at a party and awoke in a coffin and no one was looking for her. Tara Chatry arrived at the New Orleans Police Department asking for help to locate her college friend Ethan Campbell. Ethan was the kind of guy who was very smart and had been tutoring Tara. Even his roommate Brett Frazier didn’t seem concern about someone who goes out for a soda and disappears. After getting nowhere when trying to report Ethan’s missing to Detective Vincent, Tara stopped at a nearby coffee shop and after hearing her story a waitress tells Tara to contact Shaye Archer. It was by chance that Shaye was even at her home when Tara came knocking. Shaye Archer and her adoptive mother Corrine had left New Orleans after Jonal Deremeau had rescued Shaye and who had started the blackmail against Pierce Archer (Shaye’s grandfather), years ago. Sneaking back to the home of Corrine Archer in the Garden district of New Orleans in the middle of the night, Shaye and Corrine had only let Corrine’s best friend Eleonore know they were home. Wearing La disguise Shaye went out early the next morning, stopping to see Jackson Lamotte, a detective with NOLA PD, and then sneaking into her house. Ethan’s had gotten some kind of strange code text message prior to his disappearance. The code was 19935192185 which didn’t make any sense. Once Shaye makes the decision to help Tara the mystery begins and keeps you on the edge of your seat. All your favorites Hustle and Saul his guardian, and Senior Detective Grayson, so late 2017 can’t come fast enough for the next novel of Shaye Archer.

All of these Shay Archer books are really pretty good........and then I took a breath....... interesting and exiting story lines....and then we all took a breath.......I really like the dynamic between Shay and her mom......and I blew out a breath.......if you've read them you totally get my sarcasm. Seriously I have enjoyed the series so far, starting on #5 now but the writers constant reference to the characters breathing is a distraction. Other than that I like them and recommend them. They have strong characters that you can relate to and Shay's kindness and need to help her clients is refreshing.

While I really enjoy the Shaye Archer books this one was a bit more disjointed for me. Repetitive at times, fragmented at others. Too much information, then too little. Still enjoyed it, but left me a bit flat

Shaye Archer has become one of my favorite characters. So much evil in her life, yet she survived it. And in WICKED, the follow-up to when her memories started flowing back, she proves even stronger. The story of texting/murder is engrossing. The collegiate characters are wonderfully drawn. And we're drawn into Shaye's newest memories. No spoilers here. Just read the book. It's fantastic.

When reading books like these, you always know that the perpetrator is introduced somewhere. You just don't know who it is. I thought I knew, but then it turned out to be someone else completely. That's what I love about DeLeon's books - half the time, I can guess correctly and it's fun finding out I'm right, but the other half of the time, I'm completely thrown off. Overall, a great book and a great series.

I have really enjoyed most of these books but research the meds propofol is not sometimes used for cancer patients. Propofol is milky white and cannot be added to water without it being noticed and it has a very fast half life and metabolizes very fast. Minutes so not practical for abduction . Jackson has killed someone in every book so far may want to a bit of variety.

You can't go wrong with a Jana DeLeon series, whether it is the Mudbug series, the Miss Fortune series or the Shaye Archer series. I have been working my way slowly through the Shaye Archer series. Just finished Wicked and bought Unseen today and will be reading it later. I have to save it till I have lots of time because if it is like the others, once I start reading I won't be able to stop until I finish. Wicked left me wanting desperately to know what happens next.

I should have written a review of the first 3 books, but am finally taking a break from immediately downloading the next book in the series because it isn't out yet. Absolutely riveting continuing story! I can't wait for the next one! Ms Jana DeLeon has done a great job at keeping me up all night reading because her stories are hard to put down. The characters are all so interesting, and the plots are intertwined with a budding love story, pure evil, and cunning detective skills, along with personal relationships that make you want to know more and more and more! I think I found a new favorite author! Got to go download another of her works....even though it's after 1am.

Love the book. I can't wait for the next one in the series. Great characters, strong story line. Already recommending the series to friends and family. Keep then coming Jana. Thanks

It is so different from Ms. Deleon's other books about the southern Louisiana life, that I have to remind myself who has written the book.

Love the Shaye Archer Series, I hope she continues to write more.

The first four of the Shaye Archer books have been incredibly fantastic if you enjoy on-edge psychological thriller mysteries. Ms DeLeon has excellent talent and her non use of excessive cuss language is a plus ! The stories flow together nicely and she is not too wordy. Very much looking forward to the fifth book !

Love this book and every book in the series that I've read so far!

I didn't want it to end. I love this series so much. The characters, the twists, the back story, I read slow just so I could stay in their world just a little longer. I can't wait for the next one!!!!!!!

A real inhibited, lots of twists and turns, a good, solid mystery. This may be the best Shaye Archer book yet. Jana DeLeon has struck gold again.

PI Shaye Archer is fantastic. Love the series

so easy to read. I can't wait to start the next book. keeps you guessing right up to the last

I love reading Jana Deleon's books. I've read all three series of her books. Great author to read. If you want a good mystery this is one good series.

Lots of twists and turns. A definite page turner. Highly recommend if you like mysteries. Can't wait to read the next one.

I love the Shaye Archer Series.

Shaye Archer has become a new favorite heroine for me! I loved this whole series (can hardly wait for the next one) and have gotten several people hooked on it, too. I added all of the series in paperback to our public library.

the Shaye Archer Series is a page turner. The twists and intrigues of each book will keep on on edge and surprise you. I cannot wait for the 5th book in the series.

Led through a few loops, you'll not figure it out. The end is a surprise but totally believable. Keeps me wanting to know what happens next.

Excellent excellent excellent!!! Another fantastic read. It can't get any better than this story. But it does☺☺. Great job Jana!

Another great Shaye Archer story. I can honestly say that I did not know who the killer was until the end and it was a total surprise.Can't wait for the next Shaye Archer book.

This was a great book. I thought the series was over after this one but I'm so glad more are coming. Very well written. Kept me engaged all the way through to the very last page.

Wow, what a great , suspenseful mystery !!! I enjoyed it and all the twist and turns !!! Can't wait for the next Shaye and Jackson book to come out !!!

This book continues the story of Shaye Archer, but in this one you start to see her hard exterior start to soften. I loved it and can't wait for the next one!

I love by his series! We begin this story with Share returning to New Orleans. She starts diving into a missing teen case right away. Fast paced and intense. This is a terrific thriller. Keep the books coming in this series!

I immensely enjoy Jana DeLeon' s Shaye Archer series! The suspense is great and so are the characters and the stories. I look forward to the next one!

Love the way she writes. Top notch.

I have really been enjoying this series. I especially enjoyed this one and was kept in suspense. I'm looking forward to the next book.

I enjoyed this book immensely. The plot was interesting and the characters are believable. You won't feel like you wasted your time.

These books are building on each other very nicely. I'm looking forward to many more hours in Shae Archer's world.

I really liked this story the best of the 4 books so far and are anxious to read book 5.

Wow very good books. Couldn't put them down. Suspenseful and great storyline. Characters are pretty awesome. Love this series and miss fortune series!!

Love Jana's writing style and she is one of the only ones out there that seems to keep me guessing up to the end.

Ready to read the next one! I'm not really sure why I am having to type 20 words in my review!

The characters are all so interesting, and the plots are intertwined with a budding love story, pure evil, and cunning detective skills, along with personal relationships that make you want to know more and more and more! I think I found a new favorite author! Got to go download another of her works....even though it's after 1am.

This book kept you guessing till the end. It was an easy read and very interesting. I enjoy reading books by this Author.

I really have enjoyed reading this series. These are great books and this book definitely did not disappoint. I enjoy reading Jana Deleon.

I enjoyed the previous three books in this series. I believe this book takes it up a notch. I can't wait to see what comes next.

This is a good series. Shaye is a very sympathetic character with a very strong inner strength. Love the series

Intense.

These cliffhangers are gonna be the death of me!!! I haven't been this sucked into a series in Forever! Urgh!

This author is a great writer. I love all the books in this series. Looking forward to reading more of her work.

I really like this series I think Jana Deleon is very good, I enjoy all her series I hope theirs a miss fortune soon.

I am so wrapped up in the intrigue and excitement, I cannot put the book down!! Keep this story going!

That one was another tricky one to try and figure out who was doing the killing! Loved it and so will you if you like a mystery!

Another interesting novel where the two biggest questions are who and why. Who is the person kidnapping and killing college students and what is the perpetrator's motive? Shaye and her adoptive mother are back home after escaping the fall out from the previous book "Diabolical". It helps to read the books in order as this picks up a couple of months from where the last book ended. Just when I thought Shaye's past was over, another one of her memories pops up which may be dealt with in a future book to see what comes of it. Detective Jackson and Shaye's relationship slowly progresses which is fine with me. The end of the book answered all the questions as to the killer's motives pretty much listing everything. Seemed a bit abrupt, but the questions concerning the crimes were answered. There are a few things that bothered me in this book. Without giving anything away, there is one event that is quite unbelievable in what happens. I also got extremely tired of the many characters who constantly "blew out a breath". The author could have deleted this comment and it wouldn't have affected the story. I'm surprised that it wasn't edited out with the overwhelming frequency this was repeated. It's happened in previous books, but I think it finally hit a nerve in me with this book. Also Clara , a nurse, had no problem violating HIPPA regulations looking up patient information for Shaye. It's illegal and she could have been fired no matter the circumstances. She would have left a paper trail requesting patient records. I would have liked the author to do more research to make the story more believable. Still found it an interesting read despite this.

Only one author can take you from book to book in a series and each book is different but a continuation of the last book. Only Jana DeLeon can do this and make you want more. How I hate for a book to end, every book, every part of the story is just GOOD! It always takes to the end of the book to figure out the evil villain. I had two in mind. You see Jan puts a innocuous sentence in the book, that sits in your mind. And so you don't see the villain right away. She also gives you obvious choices. This time there were two could be villains, one was a rouse. What I love about Jana's books are, a story well written, awesome characters, they are clean books no swearing, your interest never sways, it is as if she has invited you into her story. There is mystery, excitement, suspense, challenges, the books are just GOOD. The bad thing is the story ends and you have to wait. But Jana gives you a hint or a tease about next books topic. And I patiently wait as Jana's books are always worth the wait.

Amber Olivier was at a party and awoke in a coffin and no one was looking for her. Tara Chatry arrived at the New Orleans Police Department asking for help to locate her college friend Ethan Campbell. Ethan was the kind of guy who was very smart and had been tutoring Tara. Even his roommate Brett Frazier didn’t seem concern about someone who goes out for a soda and disappears. After getting nowhere when trying to report Ethan’s missing to Detective Vincent, Tara stopped at a nearby coffee shop and after hearing her story a waitress tells Tara to contact Shaye Archer. It was by chance that Shaye was even at her home when Tara came knocking. Shaye Archer and her adoptive mother Corrine had left New Orleans after Jonal Deremeau had rescued Shaye and who had started the blackmail against Pierce Archer (Shaye’s grandfather), years ago. Sneaking back to the home of Corrine Archer in the Garden district of New Orleans in the middle of the night, Shaye and Corrine had only let Corrine’s best friend Eleonore know they were home. Wearing La disguise Shaye went out early the next morning, stopping to see Jackson Lamotte, a detective with NOLA PD, and then sneaking into her house. Ethan’s had gotten some kind of strange code text message prior to his disappearance. The code was 19935192185 which didn’t make any sense. Once Shaye makes the decision to help Tara the mystery begins and keeps you on the edge of your seat. All your favorites Hustle and Saul his guardian, and Senior Detective Grayson, so late 2017 can’t come fast enough for the next novel of Shaye Archer.

All of these Shay Archer books are really pretty good........and then I took a breath....... interesting and exiting story lines....and then we all took a breath.......I really like the dynamic between Shay and her mom......and I blew out a breath.......if you've read them you totally get my sarcasm. Seriously I have enjoyed the series so far, starting on #5 now but the writers constant reference to the characters breathing is a distraction. Other than that I like them and recommend them. They have strong characters that you can relate to and Shay's kindness and need to help her clients is refreshing.

While I really enjoy the Shaye Archer books this one was a bit more disjointed for me. Repetitive at times, fragmented at others. Too much information, then too little. Still enjoyed it, but left me a bit flat

Shaye Archer has become one of my favorite characters. So much evil in her life, yet she survived it. And in WICKED, the follow-up to when her memories started flowing back, she proves even stronger. The story of texting/murder is engrossing. The collegiate characters are wonderfully drawn. And we're drawn into Shaye's newest memories. No spoilers here. Just read the book. It's fantastic.

When reading books like these, you always know that the perpetrator is introduced somewhere. You just don't know who it is. I thought I knew, but then it turned out to be someone else completely. That's what I love about DeLeon's books - half the time, I can guess correctly and it's fun finding out I'm right, but the other half of the time, I'm completely thrown off. Overall, a great book and a great series.

I have really enjoyed most of these books but research the meds propofol is not sometimes used for cancer patients. Propofol is milky white and cannot be added to water without it being noticed and it has a very fast half life and metabolizes very fast. Minutes so not practical for abduction . Jackson has killed someone in every book so far may want to a bit of variety.

You can't go wrong with a Jana DeLeon series, whether it is the Mudbug series, the Miss Fortune series or the Shaye Archer series. I have been working my way slowly through the Shaye Archer series. Just finished Wicked and bought Unseen today and will be reading it later. I have to save it till I have lots of time because if it is like the others, once I start reading I won't be able to stop until I finish. Wicked left me wanting desperately to know what happens next.

It's a suspense that is well written and entertaining! It has to be the slowest moving romance ever but is a great adventure! Very good read! I recommend reading the books in order.

Love the main character and the mysteries draw you in. The story just flows and keeps you intrigued.

Great read!!!

Great book

Love this author. Exciting and each book relates and gives you more information. 10 stars! Definitely a must read series.

The premise was very involving and complex. The characters were very true to life. Hustle played a very small role in this book.

Another incredible instalment in the series. If you liked the others or are looking for a great detective series this is a must.

I love this series and can not wait for the next book. This series just keeps getting better I am truly addicted.

I just love this series so much! I love anything Jana writes! The characters...the environment...the situations.... All just jump off the page!!

I like how this series always keeps me guessing and also focuses on personal relationships and journeys. Would recommend to anyone that likes mystery!

I enjoyed this book just as much as I enjoy all Jana DeLeon's books. Great characters and mystery! A great read!

Again another phenomenal book in the series. Never a disappointment with plot twists and page turning addictions. A must read!

Good read. Not one of her best but still good. Hope she will pick up the story in the next one.

I love her books, but this series is something special. I am never disappointed.

Awesome story, great character development as the story continues. I am happy I found this as I continue to read the Miss Fortune series by Jana.

Please read the other books before this one; so it all makes sense.. but this a great read that moves quickly

Jana Deleon has done it again. She captured my attention from the beginning. Definitely a book for a mature audience as it delves into a dark content. I love Shaye and can't wait to see what the next book unravels from her past and what her future looks like with Jackson.

I pretty much love everything Jana Deleon writes. I have read and enjoyed all the books in this series.

This is a great story and love the strong female lead! Wonderful series! Can hardly wait for the next one!!!

Wow! What a cliff hanger! Great plot. Love these keep them coming. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Liked it

She gets better with each book. Her characters all come together wonderfully. It was hard to put down. Can't wait for the next one.

I have really enjoyed this series of books. They really keep you engaged. You really become attached to the main character and everyone in her life.

I loved, loved, loved this series. Can't wait for the next Shaye Archer book. She ranks right up there with Eve Dallas ( J D Robb's heroine in the "In Death" series).

Very good read. Didn't want to put it down.

This book was a definite page turner. Janna writings get better and better with every book. This was my favorite.

All 4 books were a great read I've enjoyed the entire series. I look forward to reading the next one that comes out in late 2017

Another good story with believable yet terrifying bad guys. And another look into Shaye's past, in excited for the next book.

Enjoyed book and series immensely I have added a new author to my list

Wow, what a great story!! It kept me on the edge of my seat as we discover who the kidnapper is and learn more about Shayes past.

Just a very good book.

Can't wait for tne next book

If you like mysteries Wicked fits the bill. Jana DeLeon good writer to follow. Waiting on the next series with Shayne Archer.

Great book, lots of surprises and twists, highly recommended!

Loved the continuation of the story. Great characters.

It's a really good read.

Each book gets better and better. Can't wait for the next one. I wonder if she has already met her child?

Love love love Shay Archer! Can not wait for the next book. Way to go Jana Deleon!! Don't make us wait too long.

Shaye Archer is back. And better than ever. Old friends show up. Mystery solved, new situation arises. 5 + Stars.

A very deep and dark story..Love the Shaye Archer Series Keep them coming

Another interesting novel where the two biggest questions are who and why. Who is the person kidnapping and killing college students and what is the perpetrator's motive? Shaye and her adoptive mother are back home after escaping the fall out from the previous book "Diabolical". It helps to read the books in order as this picks up a couple of months from where the last book ended. Just when I thought Shaye's past was over, another one of her memories pops up which may be dealt with in a future book to see what comes of it. Detective Jackson and Shaye's relationship slowly progresses which is fine with me. The end of the book answered all the questions as to the killer's motives pretty much listing everything. Seemed a bit abrupt, but the questions concerning the crimes were answered. There are a few things that bothered me in this book. Without giving anything away, there is one event that is quite unbelievable in what happens. I also got extremely tired of the many characters who constantly "blew out a breath". The author could have deleted this comment and it wouldn't have affected the story. I'm surprised that it wasn't edited out with the overwhelming frequency this was repeated. It's happened in previous books, but I think it finally hit a nerve in me with this book. Also Clara , a nurse, had no problem violating HIPPA regulations looking up patient information for Shaye. It's illegal and she could have been fired no matter the circumstances. She would have left a paper trail requesting patient records. I would have liked the author to do more research to make the story more believable. Still found it an interesting read despite this.

Only one author can take you from book to book in a series and each book is different but a continuation of the last book. Only Jana DeLeon can do this and make you want more. How I hate for a book to end, every book, every part of the story is just GOOD! It always takes to the end of the book to figure out the evil villain. I had two in mind. You see Jan puts a innocuous sentence in the book, that sits in your mind. And so you don't see the villain right away. She also gives you obvious choices. This time there were two could be villains, one was a rouse. What I love about Jana's books are, a story well written, awesome characters, they are clean books no swearing, your interest never sways, it is as if she has invited you into her story. There is mystery, excitement, suspense, challenges, the books are just GOOD. The bad thing is the story ends and you have to wait. But Jana gives you a hint or a tease about next books topic. And I patiently wait as Jana's books are always worth the wait.

Amber Olivier was at a party and awoke in a coffin and no one was looking for her. Tara Chatry arrived at the New Orleans Police Department asking for help to locate her college friend Ethan Campbell. Ethan was the kind of guy who was very smart and had been tutoring Tara. Even his roommate Brett Frazier didn’t seem concern about someone who goes out for a soda and disappears. After getting nowhere when trying to report Ethan’s missing to Detective Vincent, Tara stopped at a nearby coffee shop and after hearing her story a waitress tells Tara to contact Shaye Archer. It was by chance that Shaye was even at her home when Tara came knocking. Shaye Archer and her adoptive mother Corrine had left New Orleans after Jonal Deremeau had rescued Shaye and who had started the blackmail against Pierce Archer (Shaye’s grandfather), years ago. Sneaking back to the home of Corrine Archer in the Garden district of New Orleans in the middle of the night, Shaye and Corrine had only let Corrine’s best friend Eleonore know they were home. Wearing La disguise Shaye went out early the next morning, stopping to see Jackson Lamotte, a detective with NOLA PD, and then sneaking into her house. Ethan’s had gotten some kind of strange code text message prior to his disappearance. The code was 19935192185 which didn’t make any sense. Once Shaye makes the decision to help Tara the mystery begins and keeps you on the edge of your seat. All your favorites Hustle and Saul his guardian, and Senior Detective Grayson, so late 2017 can’t come fast enough for the next novel of Shaye Archer.

All of these Shay Archer books are really pretty good........and then I took a breath....... interesting and exiting story lines....and then we all took a breath.......I really like the dynamic between Shay and her mom......and I blew out a breath.......if you've read them you totally get my sarcasm. Seriously I have enjoyed the series so far, starting on #5 now but the writers constant reference to the characters breathing is a distraction. Other than that I like them and recommend them. They have strong characters that you can relate to and Shay's kindness and need to help her clients is refreshing.

While I really enjoy the Shaye Archer books this one was a bit more disjointed for me. Repetitive at times, fragmented at others. Too much information, then too little. Still enjoyed it, but left me a bit flat

Shaye Archer has become one of my favorite characters. So much evil in her life, yet she survived it. And in WICKED, the follow-up to when her memories started flowing back, she proves even stronger. The story of texting/murder is engrossing. The collegiate characters are wonderfully drawn. And we're drawn into Shaye's newest memories. No spoilers here. Just read the book. It's fantastic.

When reading books like these, you always know that the perpetrator is introduced somewhere. You just don't know who it is. I thought I knew, but then it turned out to be someone else completely. That's what I love about DeLeon's books - half the time, I can guess correctly and it's fun finding out I'm right, but the other half of the time, I'm completely thrown off. Overall, a great book and a great series.

I have really enjoyed most of these books but research the meds propofol is not sometimes used for cancer patients. Propofol is milky white and cannot be added to water without it being noticed and it has a very fast half life and metabolizes very fast. Minutes so not practical for abduction . Jackson has killed someone in every book so far may want to a bit of variety.

You can't go wrong with a Jana DeLeon series, whether it is the Mudbug series, the Miss Fortune series or the Shaye Archer series. I have been working my way slowly through the Shaye Archer series. Just finished Wicked and bought Unseen today and will be reading it later. I have to save it till I have lots of time because if it is like the others, once I start reading I won't be able to stop until I finish. Wicked left me wanting desperately to know what happens next.

I should have written a review of the first 3 books, but am finally taking a break from immediately downloading the next book in the series because it isn't out yet. Absolutely riveting continuing story! I can't wait for the next one! Ms Jana DeLeon has done a great job at keeping me up all night reading because her stories are hard to put down. The characters are all so interesting, and the plots are intertwined with a budding love story, pure evil, and cunning detective skills, along with personal relationships that make you want to know more and more and more! I think I found a new favorite author! Got to go download another of her works....even though it's after 1am.

This series keeps getting better and better with every new book. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next.

Woman of few words but if u love Jana DeLeon books this one does not disappoint. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

GREAT

Fast moving easy to follow the characters

This is just a good, light reading series, for relaxing with your book

You will not want to put this book down! So get your snacks a drink a comfy spot an enjoy the ride!

Love the Shaye Archer series

Love this series. Can't put it down until I finish it.

One of my favorite authors!

Matter of fact I love everything Jana DeLeon writes! I think I have read everything she has written! I can't wait for more

I love this series! I have read all of them and can't wait for the next one to be available!

I love the Shaye Archer books. Keeps you guessing. Great book

As Always Jana DeLeon delivers. A fast paced thriller that keeps you involved with interesting characters and keeps you hoping good will win over evil. A good read!

I love this series and can't wait for more. Bits of action and romance tie it up great. The back story also makes for hopefully many years more.

Love love love this series.

Shaye Archer novels are very good, highly recommended!

Loved it and had to buy all the books in the series.

I really enjoy Jana DeLeon's books. The Shay Archer series is a must read! It captivates you and you want to finish it but not have it end at the same time!

Jana De Leon is my favorite author, and who doesn't love a good mystery & LOVE story all rolled together. I enjoyed the entire book, and can't wait for the next one!!! But, I must tell you, your swamp stories, and humor, just make me roar...I love it, and thanks!!!

Could not put it down til I finished. Great twist and turns. A must read.Going to get some sleep now. Enjoy!
