Review: Shannon's Law by Emma Calin

[khamneithang]

Shannon's Law by Emma Calin is an exciting crime thriller which is fast-paced, intense and mesmerizing. It is a passionate and compelling story where hot cops, hot crime and hot romance freely blended in a vortex of action and passion taking along the reader on a roller-coaster ride.

Gutsy and full-blooded city cop Shannon Aguerri has been repositioned from Brixton to a small village called Fleetworth-Green after a string of individualistic and eccentric assignments which threaten to go out of hand. Her hope of leading a quiet and peaceful life was quashed when she comes across a group of teenage delinquents. While the rest of the teens fled, one remains. Shannon decides to walk him home and learns that his name is Ben and that he has been recently charged with a crime. Ben is the son of Spencer, the widowed 11th Earl of Bloxington.

When Shannon meets Spencer, they hit it off immediately. As is her nature, Shannon does not go by the book. She manipulated him to her advantage. But it is not smooth going as she has a rival in Jasmine de Montfort, who also belongs to the upper class. Soon she realizes that the sleepy village may secretly be hiding a lot of things. There are several interesting threads to the story, and all merge beautifully to make one entertaining story.

Emma Calin is different from many established authors whose books I have reviewed. I was intrigued by the title and was keen to find out how the story pans out. I must confess that I was absolutely delighted with her overall treatment of the story though the book is certainly not without its flaws. I’m glad I decided to take a chance and have a look at Shannon’s Law. There are some graphic adult scenes which may deter some readers. It has been made to appear a necessary part of the story. All in all, Shannon’s Law is a refreshing read from a new author for me. A real page-turner, the story will come to an end sooner than you realizes.
