Review

LTMK Onbook's ReviewClosure is Angela Ford's début romantic suspense novel and what a novel it is. Although its short its very well written and the storyline was fantastic. It felt rushed in places but only slightly and didn't really effect the flow of the story. This book is about Jessica a career driven young woman who is working on a case for the FBI, she's closer to the case than she realises and Angela Ford unravelled the plot really well I was hooked, the suspense aspect is wonderful, the romance side does take a back seat, though it was worth it because the issues of teenagers, internet predators and social networks being the perfect hunting ground for these people has been written and portrayed really well. This book is essentially about learning to live with your past and the things you can't control and learning to let love in and live your life as anything can happen. well done Angela Ford, brilliant story, very well written. 4.5 stars

From the Author

Amazon ReviewersThis story grabs the reader in the opening sentences, plunging them right into the action and leaving them breathless to find out how and why this came to pass. 


I was on edge throughout the whole entire book. Reading this book was like reading an episode of Criminal Minds. Only better because I got to know what people were feeling. 


Angela Ford populates this fast-paced thriller with realistic main characters who need to work through layers of conflict--internal, external, and romantic.


Awesome Review by Romance Reviews Magazine!
This is an American FBI based romantic suspense. We're given a female agent - a complex stalker, and a classic covert romance budding between fellow agents. Thankfully that's not all the author has given the reader. The heroine, Jess, has emotional problems linked to her past. Her love interest, Tom, similarly has a past he would rather forget. Neither reveals their covert feelings for one another, and I rather liked the way the author enlightens the reader to their innermost thoughts. This could easily have turned into a tired old cliché plot of agents shooting their way through crisis after crisis, then falling in love and straight off to bed. Ms Ford, though, luckily spins a little magic into her story with a dead agent brought back to life. And so the plot thickens. But who is watching Jess besides a dead agent, and who is stalking her? The more Jess puzzles over gathered evidence the more she fears the outcome. What is worse, the killer knows her name. Ordered off the case, Jess retreats to a safe haven. Jess is far from safe. Tom is far from safe. And the hero of the day is far from the expected hero. Well done Ms Ford for putting a jolly good twist in this tale. As a debut novelist I sense Ms Ford's writing will grow with each new book she undertakes to write.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2013

    I started the book last night and couldn't wait to get home tonight to finish it! It is a real page turner and a quick fast paced read . Jess is a young beautiful FBI agent who is working on an Internet case trying to find a killer. Her parents were tragically murdered ten years ago and she is trying to come to grips with that while working on this intense case. Coupled with that is the fact that she has feelings for her boss Tom, who like her has been hiding his true feelings during their tenure working together. After her folks died, Jess threw herself into her work, putting her life and happiness on the back burner. Tom, divorced with a teenage daughter has done the same after striking out in his failed marriage and relationship with his daughter . Working on this case, trying to find this Internet predator who is killing people, Jess comes face to face with the killer , escapes and he finds her. Unbeknownst to her, he is a character from her past. Follow Jess , Tom and the rest of the FBI team as they search for the UNSUB and in the process two people find a love that has been brewing for years. I loved the suspense of the story and the vivid descriptions of the setting and characters make for a delightful read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great suspense! Ok romance...
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2014
    **Book provided by author for an honest review**
    The story involves an FBI special units team, named "Internet Security Task Force" or ISTF for short. The man in charge of this special unit is Tom Erickson, and his team members are Jessica Resario, Mike Turner, Gina Edwards and Eric Matthews. Their sole purpose is to seek and destroy internet predators. Plus, Tom and Jessica have the hots for each other but refuse to act on their feelings, even though like, the whole office knows they have the hots for each other. Nothing like a good pedophile hunt to start a relationship, right!

    Their latest case has them chasing a serial killer. He has currently killed three young teenage girls, and is on the hunt for his next victim. Tom and his team are desperately trying to get one step ahead of this guy before he kills again. Jess likes to run on her "instincts" rather than protocol, has a "feeling" of where the scum will hit next and jumps the fence to rush and intersect his next target. Doing so brings her face to face with the psycho, and she barely gets away with her life! After phoning in to Tom and her identity being revealed to the killer, he orders her to go to a safe location and stay there until it is safe for her to return.

    The next step for the team is to try and lure the killer out into a trap, so Tom arranges for Eric and Gina to go undercover. Eric will play the "dad," Harry Rothburn Jr., a rich, well known son of a business dude, and Gina will be his daughter, Melissa Rothburn. Gina will infiltrate the private high school as a senior student, get cozy with the "in crowd," and arrange a party at her place when daddy is away. While the team is hard at work, Jess returns to the family summer home in Vineyard Haven, a small beach community on the east coast. And it just so happens to be where her parents were murdered right after she left for college. This being the first time Jess has been back there since the murders, she is unprepared for the emotions just being there will bring. While Jess is there, she uncovers who her father worked for and what he did, a potential lead on who may have killed them, and she has to maybe, just maybe, allow herself to ponder and reflect on her true feelings for Tom. I mean, come on! Why would working on hunting down sick psychos put a damper on your love life!

    The story line was very good. It reminded me of that television show Criminal Minds. I totally love that show, and it was like reading an episode! With that being said....the romance part of the story line was a total disconnect for me. Don't get me wrong, I love my romance novels, but with the main story of hunting a serial killer and the drama of that, I feel like the romance took a back seat and didn't have the opportunity to bloom and flourish throughout the book. I can't wait to read Forbidden which continues to follow Jessica's story. My hope is the love/work relationship have more of a better flow to it.

    Angela Ford's Closure, drew me in right from the beginning and never released its grip. The book was a real page turner and I finished it in only a couple of days. The main character is Jess Resario, an FBI agent working a case against a sexual predator. She reminded me a bit of Clarice Starling from the Silence of the Lambs. Jess seems to have had a bit of tragedy following her and maybe even drove her to becoming a law enforcement agent. Without giving away too much, Jess'worlds seem to collide during her investigation. The book itself was well written, thought out and felt real. There were a couple of good twists and turns along the way. Highly recommended.

    Closure is a current day FBI story that does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out which direction the plot is taking from the clues you have, only to discover that you are lost and cannot solve the crime. There is plenty of suspense and drama balanced with romance. I really enjoyed reading about current day FBI topics with social media and how it was used to bring closure to a case. Angela Ford does a great job of making you empathetic to all her characters and draws you into the story. I can’t wait to read more from her.

    I hope this is book one of a series. For me, there were questions left unanswered. I don't want to spoil any surprises so I suppose I shouldn't go into detail about what those questions are. Regardless, I was hooked from the first few pages. Jessie is a wonderful character who's past hinders her present day life. The suspense Angela Ford creates as Jessie unravels the mysteries of her past is no less than marvelous! My only bit of advise for this wonderful author would be not to have her names be so similar, I found myself having to go back to figure out who she was referring too.

    This book made for a wonderful afternoon, and I believe it was time well spent.

    So glad I discovered Angela Ford and her work. I guess I'd call this one a novella. Longer than a short story, but shorter than a novel. Easy to race through in one sitting. There's murder (serial killer!), mystery and suspense and a bunch of red herrings along the way. The two major FBI players here have a crush on each other and haven't gotten around to doing anything about it because they're afraid of being hurt. But they may be too late if the serial killer gets in the way. And there's dead FBI agents to content with along with a gallery of unusual suspects. Great writing.

    Creo que el suspense-romance y el suspense-thriller son mis géneros favoritos, pero cuando quiero leer un suspense-romance quiero leer romance...en este libro no hay. Es por eso que me siento un poco defraudada.
    La parte del suspense está bien, hay suspense, hay intriga pero no lo suficiente como para que la historia sobreviva sólo con él, es un suspense light, que necesita estar acompañado de un poco de romance para que funcione, y aquí no hay romance, nada, apenas hay interacción entre los personajes, y sólo al final del libro se ve o aparece algo, pero no suficiente, ni de lejos.
    Hubiese preferido que describiesen este libro como suspense...para saber a lo que atenerme y no sentirme "defraudada".
