"The Survivor" by DiAnn Mills

“The Survivor” is DiAnn Mills’ second book about Kariss Walker, the first being “The Chase.” In this second installment, Kariss has agreed to write the story of Dr. Amy Garrett, a woman who survived a horrid attack as a child. What Kariss doesn’t know is that she is getting herself into a heap of trouble.

Tigo Harris is an ex-boyfriend of Karris who is investigating a bombing that killed the mother and daughter of a local family. The FBI agent still has feelings for Karris, but he struggles with her view of God and her religious beliefs and her knack for getting herself into trouble.

This suspenseful novel keeps you guessing, making you determined to see “whodunit” to characters you can relate to. The drawback for me was the story was choppy in some areas. Right when you thought something was going to be elaborated on, the chapter ends abruptly. Kariss and Tigo also have a more caustic and blunt way of dealing with people, which has the potential to get aggravating.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book. I’m going to have to go back and read “The Chase” to fill in the pieces I have missed. I like Kariss & Tigo as a couple and hope to read more of their story in the future.
