I love the sidelong "Castle" references... great fun. (

Nikki Heat , Book 5

Might be the last of these I will bother with. Too much like fan-fic 'ship stories to have been written by the characters in them. (

I decided to read the Nikki Heat series because I loved the tv series Castle which is what these books are based around. I liked how the books are written as if Richard Castle had really written it with the dedication and such. The story was fast paced and suspenseful. These books are true t the series without just rehashing the tv show. They add something slightly different but equally as good to the world of Nikki Heat. (

Another enjoyable read by the fictional author Richard Castle. You really have to have read the last book, Frozen Heat, before this one. Preferably the whole Nikki Heat series. Without prior knowledge of the arc in the series, much of the plot will be confusing and will not make much sense.

Even though I have read, or rather listened, to all the books in the series, I sometimes got lost in the twists and turns throughout the book. It might be because I listened to the audio book at 1.5x speed, and the names of the characters flew by too fast and didn’t register properly. Or it might be that the plot just was too busy. I don’t know, but I had several “Oh, they are talking about him”-moments far into the expositions. (

Picking up where Frozen Heat left off, top NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat pursues the elusive former CIA station chief who ordered the execution of her mother over a decade ago.

For the hunt, Nikki teams once again with her romantic partner, Pulitzer Prize?winning investigative journalist Jameson Rook, and their quest for the old spy and the motive behind the past murder unearths an alarming terror plot-which is anything but ancient history.

Complicating Heat's mission to bring the rogue spy to justice and thwart the looming terror event, a serial killer begins menacing the Twentieth Precinct and her homicide squad is under pressure to stop him, and soon.
