Keri Lake books in order

When Allie Lynch is sent on a work assignment in Kittery, Maine, she sees it as an opportunity to prove her mettle as an engineer.

Determined to fight off the urge, she buries herself in work.

When women however start mysteriously vanishing, Allie ends up becoming the target of a local sociopath.

Plunged into a world that she can't even comprehend, will Allie fight for her life and warm up to the likelihood of finding love?

RIPLEY
Dubbed RIP, I’m a ruthless killer.
To the upright, I’m nothing more than a sinner.
Although I yearn to protect her, I’m not a decent person.
She has sparked something inside me, one that would make me kill for her sake.
But I’m not her hero. I’m her retribution.

DYLAN
I’ve observed him for months now, envisioning him as my hero.
Never did I ever imagine that he would be my nightmare.
Had I known, I would never have done what I did that night.
Life is rife with cause and effect.
And sometimes, we have to endure the ripple effect.

As per the canon law, a clergyman should never turn against the penitent, not even for murder.

I have for years heard your confessions.

I’ve heard your darkest sins and brought forgiveness in His name.

Nevertheless, underneath the religious cloak is a man who has for the longest time been uncertain about his own beliefs.

I’m not devout or compassionate, regardless of what you see. I’m a disgrace—a silent killer.

But then she came into the picture.

She knows my secrets and will use it against me in order to get what she yearns for.

But I also know hers sins as well; ones which cannot be forgiven.

When I was a child, I dreamt of a gorgeous knight in shining armor who would save me from my mother, and reverse the curse that I was born with.

Fate however had other plans.

Wounded and shattered, my knight lives an isolated life in a tower of bones next to the sea.

He was never searching for me.

Lucian Blackthorne is an outcast like me, driven away by the local who are convinced that he is the reincarnation of the devil.

He could as well be, given how his touch sets my soul on fire.

However, in this tale, I’m his hero.

According to Papa, everybody has a tale worth sharing.

Most stories start years ago, following the devastation of the second bomb.

It not only unleashed a lethal contagion but also separated everyone into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers.

Most remember the time we re-emerged and made a fresh start, while others recollect the day we constructed a wall to protect ourselves from them.

For some, they are nothing other than the remnants left behind.

My tale however starts with a boy, Six, who’s from the opposite side of the wall.

He touched me in a special way and helped me to confront my deepest truth.

When I was sold to the men adorning black uniforms, I was too young to understand my purpose.

Having now spent four years in Calico, the kind of destruction I’ve witnessed is far greater than what I saw in the Deadlands.

I thought I had seen everything that is dark and evil, until I discovered my real purpose.

When I walked into the darkest pits of this nightmare, I ended up meeting him, my Champion and the most feared Alpha in S-Block.

He is their weapon while I am his prize for being disciplined.

I’m also his punishment for ill-behavior.

Many years have gone by since our planet was destroyed by the Dredge.

For others like us who survived the Calico experiments, the one thing more frightening than the monsters who seek to annihilate us, are the individuals who built them.

Buried underneath the facility is the antidote that could bring an end to the pain.

But in order to find it, we will have to go to a place where the most disturbing mutations lie, waiting to be unleashed.

The Kings of carrion are our only hope. We gave them love and they offered us protection.

Getting the cure may however require a sacrifice that may be too great to bear.

Tales about the Alphas are nothing new. Built to destroy humans and mutations, they were designed to ensure protection against the infected.

Everything however changed when they disobeyed their masters.

Made Calico experiments, they went through terrible tests that turned them into brutal beasts.

But after the end of the end of Calico, many of them escaped, only to be chased after by our Legion army.

I never knew they existed anymore, until I encountered the god of monsters.

I no longer believe the tales.

Giving your heart to an Alpha is said to be impossible. Giving it to a god would however be a disaster.

When four youthful socialites mysteriously vanish in Chicago, with two of the bodies discovered killed in the same fashion, it becomes immediately clear that a serial killer is on the loose.

Nola Tensley however isn’t worried about that. A broke single mom struggling to make ends meet, her biggest priority is looking after herself and her son.

Besides, why would a serial killer target her?

When Nola is approached by Rhett Voss, a mysterious and good-looking stranger, thanks to an expired in-law suite Ad, she finds herself accepting to rent the space after Rhett offers to pay double.

This however marks the beginning of her nightmare, as a ruthless killer has come to her doorstep.

In order to catch a killer, one has to be a killer. Nobody gets this more than Rhett Voss.

Raised by a psychotic person, he is more than experienced in the field.

Although taking away life is his specialty, the professional killer isn’t as interested anymore—until The Sandman targets Nola Tensley.

This isn’t just about settling an old score anymore. The stakes are much higher with the involvement of Nola.

In order to lure a murder from their secret hiding, one must use the perfect bait.

And for both Voss and The Sandman, baits don’t get any better than Nola Tensley.

In order to capture the Fallen, you have to turn into the same evil you were raised to destroy.

You have to be obedient and plunge into a world where the most dreadful acts of human annihilation flourish.

Most importantly, you’re forbidden from rescuing the life of a mortal.

That is what it means to be a Sentinel.

Although we are referred to as the most resilient angels in the heaven, even the best of us can shattered under pressure.

I’ve managed to avoid human females like plague for hundreds of years, until I met Karinna.

She wants revenge while I want the forbidden: temptation at its finest.

Ayden has no recollection of her past, except the fact that her suburban home was ambushed by a pack of Lycans.

And now, vengeance is the only thing she yearns for.

The Sons of Wrath, the descendants of vengeance-dealing warrior demons, join forces with Ayden to pursue the Lycans on the most dangerous parts of Detroit.

Kane Walker should have been her simplest target, yet the recently bitten Lycan could be the key to answering secrets of Ayden’s past.

But in order to uncover them, she has to give into the seductive desires reignited by his hold.

Will Ayden unleash vengeance or submit to her foe and uncover a devastating truth?

Logan, Wrath’s most ferocious son, has scars revealing the half a decade he spent in the underworld’s worst prison—all because of a secret he will never reveal.

Tortured for decades, he leads an isolated life. All that however changes when a female Alexi’s blood brings his soul back to life, reigniting passionate desires.

Haunted by her own humiliation, Calla is intrigued by Logan, the vicious demon attracted to her.

A terrifying evil has however resurfaced.

And when Calla finds herself drawn to the danger, Logan will stop at nothing to ensure her safety.

Cara must however first rescue him from a dark past with terrible repercussions.

Gavin, Wrath’s oldest son, is given the worst of sentences.

But when the succubus comes to collect the debt, he dreads that the worst is yet to come.

Sabelle on the other hand shows up at the worst time.

Given the unquenchable lust as a result of his Savidon, Gavin could certainly do without a vindictive succubus unleashing his deepest fantasies.

There is however no way of avoiding to pay the debt. As such, Gavin seeks to gain pleasure from the penalty as much as he can.

But when the past comes back to haunt them, the two are thrown into a lethal game of might and deceit.

Being half incubus may be desirable because of the amazing sex, but it soon gets boring and routine.

That’s the case for Calix, whose one true love has mysteriously disappeared.

Captured by a wannabe deranged scientist, Ava dreams of escaping, even if she'll end up meeting the male she deceived.

Calix shouldn’t feel the same for Ava, who sold out him and his brothers.

Yet when she returns after escaping her nightmare, Calix just can’t dismiss her.

Besides, he is a sex deprived incubus and Ava’s body will certainly quench his lust.

However, thanks to the deranged scientist, whoever sleeps with Ava is destined to die.

A gorgeous wife, a lovely son, and a purpose. That was my life three years ago.

Everything however changed after a vicious task force, convened at the authority of Mayor Michael Culling, robbed me of everything I cared about—all in the name of protecting the streets of Detroit.

Haunted by the memories of that dreadful night, I’m now on a quest for vengeance.

I’m not Nick Ryder anymore. I’m now a ruthless vigilante with nothing else to lose.

Michael Culling doesn’t have a clue about who I am. The only thing he knows is that I’ve abducted his stunning wife, Aubree Culling.

And I’m going to crash Michael, unless Aubree crashes me first.

Death visited my home a year ago, leaving behind a crime scene and a trail of blood.

Although they tortured me that night, their biggest mistake was failing to kill me.

Now that I survived, I think of nothing but vengeance.

Even better is the fact that they think Jase Hawkins is dead.

Perhaps I am, being that I have nothing to live for.

Everything however changes when she breezes into my life.

Lucia is looking for answers, and she’s willing to endanger herself to get them.

She reignites what I thought had died. And for that, I vow to avoid her.

I wouldn’t want my quest for vengeance to backfire.

It’s almost a decade since I was captured, deceived and backstabbed.

Everything I cared about was snatched away from me.

As time went by, the only thing I could think about was revenge.

It’s nearly ten years now since my escape.

Now that I’ve tasted revenge, I can’t think about anything else.

They took away my loved ones, and I must now take theirs.

I’m not the weak and terrified boy I used to be. I’m now a vicious killer baying for blood.

Everything seems to be working out perfectly, until the one woman I can’t have comes into the picture.

Will she rescue me from the darkness?

Detroit is a rough city. In fact, the motto here is a life for a life.

As a foster kid from the ghetto, I used to love women and drugs.

When I crossed paths with her, she instantly became my addiction.

But there is more to Nicoleta.

A mysterious woman I’m determined to unmask, she does things at her own pace, and is on a quest to find the men who killed a girl she used to know.

As for me, my path is less defined.

The one thing I however want is my addiction: her.

But with everything going on, another life will be lost.
