Without Remorse (A Dakota Steele FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 2) Kindle Edition

MMA champ-turned-FBI Special Agent and BAU specialist Dakota Steele is as tough as they come—and as brilliant, too, able to crack serial killers that no one else can. But when bodies turn up in scrap metal yards, displayed in dramatic and disturbing ways, Dakota may have finally met her match.

“The plot has many twists and turns, but it is the ending, which I did not see coming at all, that totally defines this book as one of the most riveting that I have read in years.”
—Reader review for Not Like Us
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WITHOUT REMORSE is book #2 in a brand new series by critically-acclaimed and #1 bestselling mystery and suspense author Ava Strong.

As the case grows more complex, leading down a maze of dead ends, Dakota realizes there may be one clue just out of reach. And after a shocking twist, Dakota realizes that this killer may not be who she thinks he is. He may just be far more diabolical.

Yet Dakota must still battle her own demons—the disappearance of her sister, the estrangement of her father—as all of it bears down on her at once.

Can she hold it together long enough to solve the case?

Or will the trauma of her past threaten to swallow her for good?

A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the DAKOTA STEELE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.

Books #3-#5 in the series—WITHOUT A PAST, WITHOUT PITY, and WITHOUT HOPE—are now also available.

WITHOUT REMORSE is a fast paced thrill ride. The characters, both good and evil, are excellent. The villain is like an Ancient Greek god. In his mind and in the minds of all who saw him.

A well written, suspenseful, complex mystery! Fast paced, action packed! The characters are well developed. Dakota and Marcus are a formidable team! I wish I would have read the 1st book due to several references to her last case.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Thrill Ride!
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2023

The blurb for this book drew me in almost instantly, and I was looking for a good short mystery read at the time, so I gave it a shot. However, I failed to pay attention to the subtitle, and realize that this book is actually second in a series. *palm on face It's right there on the cover. I was a few chapters in, wondering why the character development seemed a little shy before I realized I had clearly missed something which apparently happened in book one.
That aside, Without Remorse was an intense thrill ride strapped into a buddy cop sequel kind of story. Dakota Steele is a likable character who has demons she is struggling with, not to mention whatever it was that happened in book one. The banter between her and her partner was great to not only move the plot forward, but also bring a shade of humor to such a dark story. My favorite character though was antagonist. He was portrayed very maniacal but believable in the that he concocted reason for everything he did. His "artwork" felt like an original take on a villain.

This is definitely a book and series worth checking out, but I would suggest reading book one first so you won’t be a little lost like I was. Though I was able to follow the story just fine, I appreciate a little extra in the backstory area. I will certainly be picking up book one for sure!

Not her best book.
I especially did not like her use of "Christ" as a swear word. Not at all necessary.
I might give her a rest for a little while.
