Die For Me: A Novel of the Valentine Killer is the first book in the For Me series by Cynthia Eden. Katherine is living in witness protection. Three years ago, she started over under a new name after finding out her fiance was a serial killer. Valentine seemingly disappeared without a trace, but hearing details of a murder on the local news has Katherine feeling faint. She knows she needs to find out if it's the Valentine killer. She wants her life back, she's tired of hiding. Katherine heads to the police to confirm if her suspicions are correct, that the Valentine killer is back and hunting in the city that she lives. She's terrified of him, but she doesn't want to run. She is determined to help the police catch Valentine once and for all. 
 Katherine is a great heroine. She was an intricate character; Strong, determined, smart and vulnerable. I liked her and I felt for her. She had suffered and overcome so much and worked hard to bury the past but it comes back to haunt her. She finds herself living a nightmare and the only safe haven she finds is Dane. 
 I really liked Dane as well. He was a tough and sexy homicide detective with demons of his own. He was perfect for Katherine. From the moment he met her, he was attracted and had a strong desire to protect her. The more he gets to know her the more he wants to know and the more protective he becomes. As the story unfolds, so does their romance. Passions heat up and the pressures increase. The hunt for a serial killer is dangerous, intense and volatile. 
 Die For Me was a great romantic suspense. It didn't always surprise me, but I don't believe it was meant too. It grabbed my attention from beginning to end. It was disturbing at times but wholly engrossing. The pacing is fast and the story intense. The characters are realistically portrayed with emotion and depth. The ending was great, a nice bright spot in a novel that didn't have many. 
 Die For me was dark, macabre, sexy and romantic. I really liked it. It's not for the faint of heart though. I would recommend Die For Me to fans of Romantic Suspense, that don't mind a little gruesome.
