“Book cover of A Killer’s Game by Isabella Maldonado displayed in a shadowy urban alley. A woman stands in the foreground facing a distant figure, symbolizing confrontation and intellect.

Agent Vega's "puzzling" investigation into a trap.

A short summary:

FBI Special Agent Daniela Vega finds herself caught in a deadly game when a high-stakes investigation turns into a series of intricate traps set by a cunning killer. As Vega navigates clues and codes that test both her intellect and endurance, she must rely on her sharp instincts and iron resolve to stay one step ahead of the predator—and survive the puzzle that’s been set just for her.

My favorite quote:

"And action is always faster than reaction."

My review:

A Killer’s Game is a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled thriller that had me completely hooked from the start. Isabella Maldonado blends intelligence and action beautifully, crafting a story filled with clever twists, cryptic puzzles, and a heroine who’s both brilliant and resilient. Agent Vega’s confidence and courage make her an easy character to root for, especially for readers who love seeing capable, determined women take the lead in the crime genre.

I especially loved the balance between the cerebral and the physical, the way Vega uses her mind as much as her strength to outwit the villain. The pacing never lags, the tension never fades, and the puzzle elements make the reading experience delightfully interactive. A perfect pick for fans of strong female leads, high-stakes chases, and stories that keep your heart racing until the very last page.
