I have read all the books in the series and each one has kept me gripped. I love the inclusion of Jo and Carter to the story. I keep thinking that every time I start reading one of DK's books that this time I'll guess who the murderer is but while I have come close, I have yet to get it  completely right.. My only disappointment was that the book ended and now I have to wait (I+im) patiently for book 11.p

Oh my goodness! Just when I thought D.K.Hood couldn't get any better, she goes and writes Promises in the Dark! All the usual cast at back, ably led by Kane and Alton and the wonderful Duke! This time they find themselves working as F.B.I consultants when they are confronted by a serial killer with a penchant for torture and arson. For Kane , it is particularly challenging when it appears the man they are pursuing may be the killer who murdered his beloved wife and left him with a metal plate in his head. It had previously been thought that the assassin had been shot dead but it soon becomes evident he is still alive and still pursuing his campaign of murder and revenge. I don't want to give any spoilers but this book shows a gentle shift in the relationship between Jenna and Dave , which is so beautifully observed and written.  There are all the usual red herrings and heart stopping moments when I found myself shouting that she mustn't kill my favourite characters...but I'll leave you to see if she does, for yourself! I'm afraid I was like a kid in a sweetshop and instead of pacing my reading and prolonging my enjoyment, I binged on this brilliant book and didn't stop until the last breathtaking paragraph. I always feel bereft when I finish a book in this enthralling series and already in counting down the days until book 11!  Treat yourself and enjoy every terrifying twist and turn as you race through this exhilarating , mind blowing book!

I have spent some time trying to figure out which book to pick as my 100th book of the year. When I saw Promises In The Dark pop up on NetGalley, I knew my choice had been made for me. This series has quickly become one of my favorites thanks to the dynamic between Kane and Alton (not to mention the rest of their amazing team).

This book took our favorite duo on another wild adventure. The only difference, this time Kane was going after some revenge for his past life. The balance between being Kane and the man he used to be is difficult on an easy day, let alone one when he’s bombarded with memories of his wife and the day she died. But thanks to his friends by his side, he is able to keep his head in the game at the time when it matters the most.

I can’t wait to see what happens next for Kane and Alton.

I’ve read and loved all the books in the series so far and loved them all so I was really looking forward to reading Promises In The Dark and boy was it worth waiting for !!!! 
I find D.K Hood’s books just get darker and grittier and more thrilling  as the series goes on snd this was definitely the most one yet that ticked all of those boxes !!! 
There’s a serial killer on the loose targeting families and young girls. Sheriff Alton, detective Kane and the team have their wok cut out to try to catch the killer before he strikes again 
This is my absolute favourite of the series and kept me on the edge of my seat and many heart pounding moments throughout and especially  when the investigation led the team  into the whispering caves! It was also great to see Carter and his canine helper Zorro and FBI profiler Jo back helping the team again! 

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and D.K Hood for the Arc of Dark Promises my review is honest and unbiased in anyway.

TRIPLE WOW!!! Tenth book of this amazing, fabulous series and IMO the best one yet. I loved the way the Author tied up events we read about in previous books. How did she do that? Freaking genius! Can I say once more I did not see the ending coming. Please let us have book 11 very soon. Thanks to NetGalley, Bookoutre and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

D. K. Hood is an absolutely amazing author. One I would highly recommend as the books never disappoint!
This one was gut gripping from the start. 
This one sees Jenna, Kane, Woulfe and Deputy Rowley working with neighbouring FBI agents Jo and Carter. 
They have the most viscous and sadistic bomber/arsonist /murderer ever. They have lots of suspects with motives.
Not until the very end will the real culprit be revealed. 
Absolutely brilliant!!

“Engulphed” is not found in the dictionary. The correct spelling is “engulfed.” It was a minor irritation when reading this book. There are a couple of other spelling errors. 

Sheriff Deputy Detective David Kane is lamenting a slow few months in Black Rock Falls. He has been on patrol chasing speeders and other “boring” stuff. 

An explosion and fire on a nearby home puts paid to those feelings. A family was murdered. And one person is missing...Sheriff Jenna Alton and Kane are involved in the hunt as well as FBI Agents Jo Wells and Ty Carter. 

A device found at the scene of the bombing matches an explosion that occurred in DC. 

The search for the missing teen continues until a sad discovery is made. Another bombing and kidnapping occurs. What is going on? The police have several suspects: pedophiles, those tied to arson and former bombings...Who knew there were so many people in the Black Rock Falls area with shady pasts? Pathologist Shane Wolfe is kept literally running after deceased persons, examining evidence in stolen cars and trying to be a good father to his three girls. 

The identity of the bomber/arsonist/rapist/murderer comes as a surprise. In hindsight, perhaps it shouldn't have been so surprising to me. 

All of my favorite people are here. Jenna, Kane, Rowley, Atohi and the irrepressible Shane Wolfe the coroner and tech specialist. This is an exciting book with nearly non-stop action. The dogs prove invaluable to the case. This is something I was pleased to see. The characters are very well drawn and true-to-life. The dialogue is well thought out and makes perfect sense. I like the way Ms. Hood shows them to be “real” people who don't always necessarily get along, but respect one another's abilities. Extremely well done, Ms. Hood! Keep it up. I can't wait until the next installment. 

I want to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for forwarding to me a copy of this remarkably well written book for me to read, enjoy and review.

Wow is all I can say. This was probably the best book of the series. I mean I love this series so much but this one just answered so many questions! Everyone was so tense in this book you could just feel it!  Hopefully now things will be better for Kane. I literally cried when the ending hit and something very Important was mentioned. Wow. I couldn't imagine the heartache he has gone through! So glad DK Hood wrote Kane's background into a whole book of its own!  I had a feeling I knew who it was but then just assumed he was a giant asshole to people so shrugged it off. Omg I seriously love this group of fictional characters. 

Seriously speechless and excited for the next book!

Promises in the Dark starts out slow... life in Montana is slow for Detectives Kane and Alton... but it quickly picks up with a BOOM, well, several of them. Jenna and Dave are called in to help their FBI colleagues, Jo and Carter with a bombing. And of course, Duke and Zorro are along for the adventure. When girls are missing and the bomber escalates, Carter finds a link to Dave's past... and it throws both he and Jenna for a loop - and the pasts they are keeping secret. This book is a fantastic read, with twists that will keep you up past bedtime. The relationship between Kane and Alton my finally be one they are able to pursue - so I cannot wait to see where D.K. Hood takes them in the next book!

A little darker and grittier, this is one of the best of the series! Jenna and Dave are faced with a blast from the past. Jo and Carter are back as well. This one is action packed and full of suspense and tension. I guessed the villain from the first appearance on the pages but it didn't take anything away from the enjoyment of a great read. In fact, once the reveal happened I gave a shout of triumph and may have done a little dance in my seat. The conclusion to this book is perfect and has me anxious to see where things go from here.

Wow what a fabulous read, DK Hood has knocked it out of the park with this one.  It was dark, dangerous, tense and thrilling.   Read this in one sitting as I couldn’t put it down, it sucked me in from page one and spit me out at the end.  Very very good book, I love this serIes and this one didn’t disappoint.  Very well deserved five stars from me.
