Killer Heart (The Chaos Crew Book 3)

I love this series, but it’s not perfect. It’s close, but there always seems to be just a bit missing in order for me to call it perfect. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a ridiculously fun series, and I NEED more than 4 books, PLEASE. It can’t end with book 4! It can’t. It’s too good to just cap with one more book. I need more Chaos Crew out in the world, taking on new assignments and uncovering more conspiracies around the globe. I want to see them hopping on planes, parachuting in the night, taking a boat by sea to get to a remote area, etc. This series really needs to go international and see the characters traveling abroad, please! I beg of you.Okay, just some observations (no spoilers here). There is usually a lot of incredible action in these books. This one lacked that for me. There’s some, but it didn’t have the level of detail that the first 2 books did. The first 2 books made me feel like I was watching an epic spy/assassin/thriller movie. Heart-racing, theories flying through my head, finger scrolling. Book 3 had none of that for me. It was much more sedate, even though a lot happened in this book in regards to the plot. It just felt rushed a bit, in terms of shoving plot points into this book, while not taking as much time to include excellent details and descriptions like book 1 & 2.This series is still lacking crucial nuances as well. When they’re staying in the cave house, where are the bedrooms? Why don’t we ever see any of them in bed, waking up, falling asleep, tossing at night as they think and ponder over what’s happening? Why don’t we see them cook their meals and sit down to eat together? Brush their teeth. Comb their hair. Watch tv. Having casual conversations about things other than the conspiracy they’re trying to solve. Without those nuances, the story feels abrupt, like it’s fast-forwarding to only the most important parts, but it’s those occasional nuances that help make a story feel more rounded, and it helps make the characters feel more real as well.Okay, SPOILER in THIS paragraph only!!! Skip this paragraph if you haven’t read this book yet! I absolutely hate spoilers in reviews, but I feel like I want to address this, because this felt frustrating to me in this book. In books 1 & 2, part of what made this series feel so refreshing is the character’s critical thinking skills. They rarely make avoidable mistakes because they’re pros, they’re smart, and they actually use their heads. So what the heck happened in book 3? Where the hell did their critical thinking skills go? They overlooked so many obvious things. First of all, let’s talk about Garrison’s abduction. Obviously, the Malik’s weren’t the ones to abduct him. It was clearly transparent that the Hunter was behind it. The Maliks were genuinely confused when Dess confronted them about taking Garrison. Why would they lie and deny that if they were the ones to take him in order to lure her there? But more importantly, after everyone is killed, even Dess says that none of them had the skills to take the Chaos Crew on. So how did the abductors manage to get one over on her and Garrison if it was the Maliks? Those abductors were pros, not dumb culty suburban family members. It never even occurs to them that they were set up to take the Maliks out and do the dirty work. Bigger question, if they’d got that far in their thinking and logic, they’d now be asking WHY were they set up when the abductors could have easily killed the Maliks themselves? It’s ridiculous. And the fact that NO ONE thought the Hunter could have ties to the mysterious man in the phone calls from book 1? I mean, I was screaming about that all through this book, but it never once occurred to any of them. I just found a lot wrong with book 3 in regards to how the main characters act, think, react, plan, etc. This entire book felt completely off from their characters, and I felt really let down about that. Also, why has no one ever asked what toddler the Maliks buried thinking it was their dead daughter? Dess never thought to ask, nor did the Chaos Crew, and most importantly, nor did the Maliks. The Maliks buried a dead daughter, only to find out she’s actually alive. So who did they bury then? Like, come on, these are basic questions, people.***Okay, safe to read! No more spoilers now.Overall, I had fun reading this book and I’m still ridiculously happy that I did. I can’t wait for book 4–and hopefully books 5, 6, 7… I thought this book could have used more steam. It felt lacking in book 3. There were sexy times here, but it felt less like a part of the actual story in this book, and more like after thoughts the authors threw in for reader gratuity. It definitely could have used more steam, chemistry, sexual tension, and baby-making scenes, imo, but scenes that further built the story up and added to it. I’m so excited to see where the series goes next, but there BETTER BE MORE THAN FOUR BOOKS!!! (or I will seriously cry 😢)

Maybe I’m in a mood, but the spice seems too few and far between. The plot line has been intriguing enough, if not a smidge predictable. Ultimately, I’m just left wanting more steam from the crew.

This series is literally insane. Just when you think you have the answers more questions appear. So the questions of her family were taken care of and then sinister and ominous plots arose. You know who wouldn’t have expected that. People got involved saying they were one thing and yet they aren’t. More questions. I know my review probably doesn’t make sense but I don’t wanna spoil anything so I was trying to talk in a riddle. It’ll make sense when you read this book. Seriously though I love this series and can’t wait for what’s next! Also I think it would be totally awesome if Decima and Mercy got like their own crossover novel. I’d love to see them reaction to the same situation and to each other as well as how their men would interact.1000000000000000000/5

I love that this series keeps you guessing as to what's next for Decima. After the last book and getting confirmation that she was the child of Congressman Malik, who everyone thought was dead, she approaches Damien Malik to let him know she is his daughter Rachel.It doesn't take long to figure out that something is off with the family even with the strange calls from someone who calls himself The Hunter. Dess and her men find themselves in a couple of weird situations, which they manage to get out of, but each one seems to point to Malik.Her father is a fanatic in Congress about increasing punishment for criminals even for some of the smallest of crimes. Rachel,Dess, can tell something is off about him and his family.I absolutely love all the twists this story takes and am looking forward to the next book in April.

Sucks to be Dess in this one. Those people were up to some disgusting stuff; definitely cult mentality. But all the guys’ relationships with Dess are developing nicely, so there is some bright to the dark.

It was a slow start for me for the first 20 ish percent but then started picking up nicely. I was absolutely not expecting the secrets that were reveled in this book. A couple steamy scenes throughout. It does end with even more questions but it’s not really a cliffhanger I’d say. Really enjoying this series though this book was overall a bit slower for me (could’ve been my mood too though so..).

Killer Heart is book three in the series The Chaos Crew by authors Harlow King & Eva Chance. Ok so WOW!! This one is dark - more like pitch black. Finally finding a part of herself, life can slow down right- wrong- now there’s more secrets, more mysteries and more death. But someone is leaving breadcrumbs and it just might be another boogeyman.Enjoy!!

Dess finding her real family was her goal, and the guys have her back. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’m just going with there are so very unexpected twists. Dark truths are revealed. Then serious steam builds within group and #whychoose moments take place. TW/18+

Stars given on level of engagement;5 stars - less than a day to read because I cannot put it down. I only give 5 stars if it has managed to engage extra emotions from me - extreme lol moments or real teary moments etc. A 5 stars book tends to have me raging about cliff hangers and (legally and not creepily) stalking the author for release dates.4 stars - 2 days to read or less. A book that I have quite enjoyed reading, feisty MC and some racy scenes with thier romantic interest. I would definitely follow a series and author for 4 star books.3 stars - takes around 2/3 days to read, usually because I have become distracted and less engaged in some sections but by the end the end I have enjoyed the overall story and would read any sequels.1/2 stars not given, as I have usually returned it without finishing as I'm not engaged. .

Dess has finally got the chance to meet her "real"family in the third book of this phenomenal series. We get to see yet another different side to Decima, a girl who has found her place within the Chaos Crew,but also somewhat vulnerable whilst getting to know her new family. The Crew are as always,behind her through thick and thin,they're her guidance,her loves but they also know when to step back and let Dess deal with things.Powers that be are after them,and she has to navigate and deal with the reason why...secrets and lies always rear their ugly heads in these situations,but Dess and her crew always stick together when it matters.Eva and Harlow have shown how phenomenal they really are as writers and i literally cannot wait for the final book to see how everything comes together...does this series really have to end???

This is the third book in The Chaos Crew book series and it continues from when Decima finds out who her birth family are at the end of book 2.So many secrets were uncovered in Killer Heart and at times I couldn't figure out where this would go. Hunter is a new character that's introduced and we don't find out a lot about him till the very end.I love Decima's relationships with the guys and Blaze is definitely my favourite.I'm on tenterhooks to find out how the final book plays out and what will be the truth of what actually happened to Decima. This book ended on a mild cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Ummmm well that was unexpected, I like to think I see plots coming from a mile off but you could knock me down with a feather, this did not go at all how I expected!I'm still totally in love with Dess and her guys and want more more more from them. I can honestly say I have no idea where this is going??This book was full of action, suspense and was shrouded in intrigue for sure. Some.sexy scenes with our gorgeous guys and we got to know a bit more of their back stories. I still need more Garrison.One thing's for sure I have more questions now than I did at the start of this one. How did that happen, roll on Book four.

Oh wow with that kinda Cliffhanger, those twists, everything they have been trying to figure out. I think they are just about to find out what the hell is going on and I don’t think they were prepared for any of it. Eek 😱Also be warned too, book 3 is a bit more sensitive, I mean if your reading this series your bound to have a strong tummy and don’t have any triggers but lets just say the sensitive subject in book 3 is children and it’s sick, cruel and will either have you crying or close. It’s definitely sensitive.
