by D.K. Hood
Shadow Angels (Detective Beth Katz #2) by D.K. Hood
Unrated

In a dark cabin, a young woman sits totally still. Long dark hair hangs over her shoulders and heavy makeup adorns her pale face. Cherry red lips offer a hint of a smile, but she won’t ever smile again. Her body is already cold to the touch…

When black crows are spotted circling over an abandoned cabin in the woods near Rattlesnake Creek, FBI agent

Beth Katz and her maverick partner Dax Styles fear something is very wrong. Beth has been hunting serial killers for years, and as she races to the forest she vows to serve her own form of justice, whatever the cost…

Cassie Durham’s friends reported her missing when she didn’t return home from a local bar a few days ago. Now, Cassie sits in darkness, her last breath taken days before. Beth notices the rouged cheeks and bright blue eyeshadow are nothing like the pictures she’s seen of Cassie alive. Did someone add the heavy makeup and pose her like this after death?

When another woman vanishes from a night out, Beth is convinced a twisted killer is in town. A clue on the dark web leads her to a local late-night hangout. Going undercover, she learns that when both girls vanished they were being watched by someone at the back of the crowded room.

Noticing a man following her every move, Beth knows she has one chance to capture him. With a knife in her pocket and hellbent on saving another innocent life, Beth is already sure she’s going to be the killer tonight.

Otherwise she will become his next victim…

D.K. Hood

D.K. Hood

In the cold stillness of a London snowstorm, D.K. Hood entered a world she would later populate with chilling secrets, unsolved murders, and flawed heroes. Today, Hood stands among the sharpest voices in crime fiction, best known for her gripping Detectives Kane and Alton series—dark, atmospheric thrillers that have climbed bestseller lists including USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.

Though her novels are set in the remote Montana town of Black Rock Falls, Hood’s own journey began oceans away. Growing up by the English coast before eventually settling in Australia, she nurtured an early fascination with crime and psychology. Long before penning her first novel, she was the one lingering over true crime documentaries and forensic journals, piecing together the puzzles of human behavior. This quiet obsession would one day fuel the pulse-pounding narratives that have captivated millions of readers around the world.

D.K. Hood's stories are not just about catching killers—they are about the fear that creeps in at the edges of ordinary life, about the hidden fractures beneath seemingly perfect facades. With protagonists like Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy David Kane, she explores the cost of justice and the heavy burden of secrets. Each book—whether it’s Don’t Tell a Soul, Bring Me Flowers, or the newer installments like Be Mine Forever—builds a world where the landscape itself feels like a character: vast, isolated, and filled with shadows.

Her writing, praised for its intricate plotting and relentless pacing, carries an authenticity rooted in exhaustive research. Hood immerses herself in forensic science and criminal psychology, ensuring that each twist feels not just shocking, but chillingly plausible. That dedication hasn't gone unnoticed—her work has been translated into multiple languages, nominated for awards like the Silver Falchion, and cemented her reputation as a writer who doesn’t just tell stories, but builds whole worlds of suspense.

In 2023, Hood expanded her chilling universe with the launch of her Special Agent Beth Katz series, venturing deeper into moral grey zones with a protagonist who is both hunter and hunted.

From the snow-swept streets of London to the sun-baked coasts of Australia, and into the dark, forgotten corners of Montana’s forests, D.K. Hood’s journey is as compelling as the stories she tells—where every whispered secret, every lingering glance, and every echoing footstep might just be the start of something far more sinister.
