Books & Spoons Review for MAJOR CRIMES by Janie Crouch

20/6/2018

Working together would bring down a killer

But her secrets could tear them apart…

Hayley Green never wanted to see Omega special agent Cain Bennett again. Ever. He seduced her, then sent her to prison for hacking, and Hayley’s only just started piecing her life back together. Except now Cain needs Hayley’s help to catch a murderer. Their past is colliding with their still-smoldering attraction…and the only thing more dangerous than the killer is the secrets Hayley’s been keeping.

Omega Sector: Under Siege

Major Crimes is an emotion-filled story, with a rather tragic love story in heartbreaking circumstances.
The Omega Sector is vigorously hunting for the mole whos aid to Damien Freihof, the man determined to hurt, damage, and ultimately eliminate the Omega Sector, is putting everyone's lives in danger.
To get the information they need, Omega has to get one of the best hackers there is, and that is where Hayley Green's name comes up. Thankfully, Haley is out of prison now, but will she help Omega Sector, considering it was Omega special agent Cain Bennett, her then-boyfriend, who arrested her and sent her to the prison in the first place.
This story has two-fold suspense going on, that brings tension, action, and severe threat to Haley and her loved ones. Dangerous, high-powered players feel the threat of Hayley's abilities to find well-hidden information on the darkness of the web and don't shy away from taking lives to keep their lucrative, illegal business going.
Hayley is desperate to right the wrongs she did in the past, she had her reasons, but she crossed some lines that never can be erased. Helping Omega will aid her financially, but also be an atonement for her prior actions.
Cain has always walked the straight line, he believes there are rules, laws, and regulations for a reason, and they are set to be followed. He knows he is not completely innocent, he knows his previous actions with Hayley doesn't muster praise, but he needs her help, desperately. And sometimes desperation makes you act in a way you wouldn't otherwise.
Even though there is chemistry between Hayley and Cain, the kind of connection that comes from the long history between them, there is a lot of work that needs to be done for any kind of trust to be formed. Cain drove me crazy at times with his pompous attitude. The story got me emotionally involved from the very start, I might have yelled at Cain on occasion while reading it. I admired Hayley's ability for forgiveness, her big heart, and survival instincts.
With complex characters, with menace and peril all around them, the race to stay alive, to find the mole, and capture the people running havoc on Hayley's life keeps the tale hopping, moving on a fast pace as their hustle to get answers and scramble to stay alive.
An important piece of a puzzle in the hunt for Damien Freihof and his aiding mole at Omega.
An entertaining, rapidly moving, poignant, and intense tale
