Great read
Kendra Elliot has written another fantastic story with Book 2.Alex, a man who is haunted by his brother's death, goes out of his way to prove it wasn't suicide. He follows the killers process as the killer is transferred from jail to jail. Not understanding why Darren Besand, a serial killer, was transferred so many times with weak escorts, Alex decided to probe deeper. Eventually, he set his sights on the Top Dog, Paul Whittenhall, headman of the Marshall's. Alex had a deep feeling that, somehow, Whittenhall knew more than he would let on, or he was playing dirty by giving Besand a way to escape.When a plane carrying Besand to another prison crashes in the snowy mountains, Alex joined the rescue team under false pretext. One way or another, he would find out if Besand had survived the crash.Brynn, a beautiful nurse and also part of the rescue team, becomes fascinated by Alex. As the days wore on, and the weather worsened, they became more close.What happens between Brynn and Alex?Did Besand die in the crash or is he alive and watching them?Will Brynn's ex, Liam, finally find her and put a stop to Brynn and Alex's shenanigans?Readers will have to buy this book for the answers. Well worth the 5 stars.

Crank up the heat...this is a mighty fine bone chilling thriller
Chilled is Elliot's second book and loosely follows on Hidden. It features as the main character, the quiet Alex Kinton, who is Jack Harper's best friend who unselfishly helped him keep Lacey safe. The book starts off to a bone chilling leap with a group of search and rescue team members about to set off looking for a downed aircraft in a sub zero snow storm. Alex forces himself into the group by claiming to be a federal agent looking to search for survivors. The only female team member is Brynn, the group's nurse and these two main characters immediately feel an attraction to each other that surpasses their circumstances. But all is now what it seems: Alex is desperately looking for one of the aircraft passengers, a convicted serial killer who murdered his mentally retarded brother; Paul Whittenhall (the genuine FBI head) is trying everything in his power to prevent Alex from returning alive; and the rescue team is faced not only with an avalanche, but also a dreadfully ill team member making it impossible to return as early as they hoped. The team is stranded in near arctic conditions, with a killer in the lose, diminished supplies and sick and injured team members. Chilled is far better than Hidden, the first book on the Bone Secrets series. The characters are more likeable and thankfully this installment has lost some of the Mills & Boon-ishness of the first book. I'm looking forward to starting Buried and I'm hoping the books improve as they progress.

Another good read
Having by now already downloaded,read and thoroughly enjoyed, three of Kendra Elliot's books during my holiday I started on this, my 'fourth in a row', hoping that she had followed her approach of 'same people, different focus'. She hadn't but it was on a similar theme and didn't take long to gain my interest. Once again I was 'hooked' and completed this whilst still on holiday - two 'firsts' for me - FOUR books in a week and FOUR by the same author, one after the other.Not everyone will like these books, we all have different tastes, so this review is simply my personal view - but I know what I like and I use the same process for awarding stars to show why I like, or dislike, a book. I make my 'star ratings' based on awarding one star for a 'yes' to each of the following questions: 1. Did I enjoy the story? 2. Did it hold my attention throughout? 3. Did I get to know the characters and care what happened to them? 4. Was I sorry that the story finished - did I want to read more? and 5. Would I buy another book from this author? The answer to each of those is 'yes' and consequently this is yet another Kendra Elliot book that gets all 5 stars.

Good plot. Great read
Bery good story. I have read 5 of these and whilst the plot and story are very good they were spoiled for me bu jyst ine chaper of very explicit sex. If I had wanted this I would read 50 shades of grey not crime thriller. Apart from this, which I just skimmed over, the books wrre very goo and once started to read couldn’t put now and have now read 5 one after the other

A very good book, well worth a read
I started this book with high hopes and was dismayed that although its supposed to be the second in a series, the characters from the last book were not in this. Don't get me wrong, it is well written, entertaining and difficult to put down, but it has nothing at all to do this the first book in the series, completely different characters, different place and I felt somewhat let down by this. This is called the bone series and the first book started with bones being found so that made sense, but although there were bodies in this novel there were no bones to be seen. So I am saying I don't get why this is part of a series, maybe it will come clear in a later novel, but at the moment I have no answer.As a stand alone novel though, it's excellent and I recommend a read, you wont be disappointed.

First book by this author
This was the first book I have read by this author and really enjoyed it. The central character was a bone pathologist which was different, and I found it very interesting. The story line was a bit predictable but it was well written and I would recommend it to any crime readers

A very average read
After reading the 1st in this series I was excited about this 2nd book. However, I was bit disappointed. The story was just ok, and unlike other books by this author there was no real suspense. It's definately not a page turner. I've just started the 3rd book & it's already got me hooked. I'd recommend skipping this one.

Definately not for me
Finished reading this book and have to say was pleased when I'd finished it. I personally found it to be long and drawn out and to be honest boring, predictable and stupid, with the ending finishing in an anti-climax. The story only started to get going when it was near to the end and wished I'd never started it. I'm a bit baffled how so many people gave more stars I suggest you read other peoples comments that gave less stars to give you a true overall opinion to save wasting your time and money
