Review
Oh, Gia Santella, you so keep me on pins and needles. You can go from zero to being in a life and death situation in the blink of an eye. And, I love every minute of your crazy, dangerous life. Kristi Belcamino packs far more action into the Gia Santella #5 than a reader would ever expect with the setting of an ocean cruise. Of course, this author has never been guilty of a dull moment. Gia is a creation of nerves living on the outside, and proof that playing nice is only one option. --Amazon
I can't really tell you what I liked about this book. . .because I liked everything about this book! It is the 5th book in the Gia Santella crime series. Ms Belcamino keeps coming up with ever more exciting adventures of Gia, a woman with an inherited fortune who is forever trying to help others; but seems to have more trouble in her own life than most, as she keeps losing those nearest and dearest to her. If you like thrillers with strong, but tender women heroines you will love this series. So far there are five books and a prequil simply entitled "Gia". I have read the first four books as well, each one of them great reads. --Amazon
Another fantastic thrill ride with Gia Santella, she really knows how to keep me enthralled in her web of intrigue and mystery right to the very end and I love that in a character. Kristi Belcamino is truly talented at weaving a gripping edge of your seat story. --Goodreads
