The Cost of Betrayal by Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey, and Lynette Eason

In Dee Henderson's novella "Betrayed," Janelle Roberts is freed--thanks to people she doesn't know--after serving six years of a twenty-year sentence for a murder she did not commit. But a murderer is still at large, and Janelle needs to be somewhere safe with someone she can trust. She may not survive another betrayal.

In Dani Pettrey's "Deadly Isle," Tennyson Kent is trapped on the isolated island of her childhood by a storm surge, and she is shocked when the typically idyllic community turns into the hunting grounds of a murderer. Cut off from any help from the mainland, will she and first love Callen Frost be able to identify and stop a killer bent on betrayal before they become the next victims?

In Lynette Eason's "Code of Ethics," trauma surgeon Ruthie St. John saves the life of Detective Isaac Martinez. After a betrayal leads to him getting shot and then attacked while in recovery, Isaac is now a key witness determined to testify. But someone is intent on silencing him--and those around him--forever. Together, Ruthie and Isaac go on the run, desperate to escape the killers hunting him. 

Betrayed was a procedural book which told the story of how Janelle was sent to prison and how she was freed and her life after imprisonment.  There was no edge of your seat suspense.  Good, but not very suspenseful.

Deadly Isle was very good.  Suspense and reconnecting with and old love is throughout the entire story.  I really enjoyed reading it.

Code of Ethics was the most suspenseful of all three books.  Ruthie and Isaac are on the run to save their lives.  The killers don't seem to realize they are messing with the St. John family when they mess with one of them.  Very book.

All three books were good and I would recommend all of them.

I was give a copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
