Book Review: Chasing Vega by Terry Shepherd

When a meth bust goes bad, Detective Jessica Ramirez and her partner, Officer Alexandra Clark, find themselves in pursuit of a serial killer who dispatches her own form of street justice from the rim of the Grand Canyon. 

They soon discover that the danger their adversary poses reaches well beyond Arizona and into the very heart of the New York City Financial District. 

Firstly, a huge thank you to Terry Shepherd for sending me a signed copy of Chasing Vega all the way from Florida, which I will treasure forever. Secondly, I loved this book!

I read mostly books set in the UK, so it was really interesting reading a thriller set in the US, whisking me away to places I've never been. I especially loved the scenes at the Grand Canyon... so dramatic! The thing that stood out the most to me was the character development. Jessica and Alexandra are smart, sassy and brave women, who give as good as they get. I have a fondness for books featuring LGBT characters and this one does not disappoint. 

This exciting, clever thriller is full of non-stop explosive action that I could envisage in my head like a film. In between the action, Terry has added splashes of emotion in the characters' backstories and relationships with each other, and their families. There's even a healthy dose of romance. It really has it all.

It's clear that Chasing Vega was thoroughly researched and meticulously plotted, with twists and turns aplenty. The short, snappy chapters that switch between different characters' perspectives is enough to keep you turning the pages into the night like a maniac. 

I can't wait to see what Jessica and Alexandra get up to in future books! If I've tempted you into the world of Jessica Ramirez, you can pick up a paperback or ebook copy today.
