New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hart’s first
book in her suspenseful Gravediggers series, featuring an elite group of
mysterious men who might be dead to the world, but are also tasked with saving
it—and no one can ever know.
The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they
seem. They’re the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they have
in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the countries they’ve died for.
Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families.
Sometimes the dead do rise...
Solomon
Lange is a dead man walking. A former black ops agent, he was disavowed and
stripped of all honor before being recruited as a Gravedigger. But his honor
and good name no longer matter, because no one knows he’s alive, and he’ll
never get the recognition he deserves. His mission is simple: save the world or
die trying. And for God’s sake, don’t ever fall in love. That’s a rule
punishable by death. The kind of death a man can’t be brought back from.
Tess
Sherman is the only mortician in Last Stop, Texas. She has no idea how Solomon
Lange ended up in her funeral home, but she’ll eat her hat if he’s only a funeral home assistant. Solomon is
dangerous, deadly, and gorgeous. And she knows her attraction to him can only
end in heartache.
Solomon
is on a mission to stop the most fatal terror attack the world has ever
known—what’s known as The Day of Destiny—a terrorist’s dream. But when he
discovers Tess has skills he can use to stop them, he has to decide if he can
trust her with secrets worth dying for. And, most important, he has to decide
if he can trust her with his heart.

Nikki’s Review:
To say that I was excited about this new series by Liliana Hart
is an understatement. Ms. Hart's novels have captivated me from the moment I
first read, Cade, in her Mackenzie series!
This book had a different feel than the Mackenzie books. The
romance was very much still there, but there was more mystery and suspense in
the plot. The Mackenzie's were always full of those elements, too. But this
time, I felt like it was equally balanced with the romance aspect. I loved it!
In my opinion, this book was very character driven. I could
"see inside the heart" of them. Obviously, with the secondary
characters, I was left wanting more, which is a sign of great writing! I was
already anticipating the next book in the series, and I was barely through the
first four chapters!
I love Tess Sherman! She made an otherwise serious plot, funny.
Her spitfire temper is something to behold! I love how "real" she
was. She has insecurities, but she's tough. She babbles when she's nervous,
which is giggle worthy! The very sight of Deacon can reduce her to a babbling
mess.
Deacon is my favourite kind of hero. He's all broody and
serious, but there's more to him lurking under his exterior. He's a man of
integrity and honour. He'll do what's right, no matter the cost. And he'll
fight for what he wants...and he wants Tess!
This book had a frustratingly slow burn. There was so much
chemistry between Tess and Deacon. I was constantly holding my breath and
hoping they'd get to the hot sexy times. But I had to wait. It was important
that it went in that direction, but that made it no less frustrating. But holy
hell, when they finally got to the hot sweaty stuff...hallelujah! It was
delicious! I never knew that a motorcycle could be used for something other
than driving. Huh...you learn something new everyday!
There's so much going on in this book. But not in that
confusing-what the hell is happening now-way. It's very detailed oriented, and
I can't imagine the countless hours of research that Liliana put into it. The
suspense aspect left me with chills. With the world the way that is right now,
it all seemed too plausible. I was drawn into this book. I ignored what was
going on around me. I craved the details.
I don't want to focus too much on the intricacies of the plot. I
don't want to spoil it for you. The whole concept of a secret ops team that are
so secret, not even the President knows about them is enthralling. If you're
looking for a book or series that has a great balance of action and romance,
this is it! If you want to read about brave men, who happen to be gorgeous,
risk life and limb, all the while leading secret lives, save the world...read
this book! And if you want to read a book that delivers the kind of romance you
can expect from a Liliana Hart novel...well, here ya go!
