Touch of Red by Laura Griffin (Tracers #12)Romantic SuspenseReleased: October 31, 2017Pocket Books This is my favorite romantic suspense series – I’m a huge fan of suspense in general. Almost 100% of what I listen to is suspense (not necessarily romantic) and the darker the better. (Shout-out to Karin Slaughter).
