Suzie Q is a prostitute and determined to get out of her current line of work and excited for a fresh start with best friend Lucy by her side. Her dreams come to an abrupt halt, when, during a night of turning tricks, she stumbles upon Lucy’s brutally murdered body. Fearing for her life, Suzie runs to her neighbor, Luke’s, to regroup, where she discovers he’s not just a creepy client, but an undercover FBI agent. However, he blindsides her when he reveals that she’s mixed up in an FBI investigation, and that she’s been unknowingly working for Johnny Stone, New York’s notorious crime boss. Suzie flees from New York, hiding in a quaint seaside town in Maine. She changes her identity and her life. Now she has to survive, to keep the life she has come to love.
This is the first novel in the Kelsey Woods thriller series.

Dead After Midnight Review:
This was a very nice, fast paced, suspense thriller, and turned out to be very entertaining.
Suzie aka Julia is a strong character, and I liked her no-nonsense attitude. She has to lead a new life with a false identity, and I wanted to see how far she would pull it before someone caught her. Moreover, I found her scenes with Rachel hilarious, as she urges to argue with her but doesn’t want to attract attention. Similarly, Luke is also interesting and I liked the bond he shared with Suzie. However, my favorite character was Sophie. She was adorable and quirky as Suzie’s friend and lighted the tale. Also, Stone is decent as the villain, but wasn’t prominent in the story-line.
The author also added quite a few twists and turns as to the story. At the same time, the author provides a very nice back story to the characters. I thought she did a very nice job with the history and connection between Stone, Lucy, and Suzie. The backstory turned out to be very interesting and dramatic.
However, there are a few parts where I would have liked more details. For instance, Phoenix is a pivotal character, yet we don’t see much of him or know his history. Also, I felt like Anthony was a very random character who did not had much value. Perhaps he would play a pivotal role in the next book of the series?
Apart from that, this story was very entertaining. Overall, “Dead After Midnight” was gripping and suspenseful. I am very curious to see how the series progresses, and looking forward to the next book.
