Dead Eye by Alyssa Day – a Review
Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM
Description:
For Jack Shepherd, tiger shape-shifter and former soldier, life is heading for a dead end. Dead End, Florida, to be exact. When he learns that he inherited a combination pawn shop/private investigation agency from his favorite uncle, Jack’s first job is to solve his uncle’s murder. Because sometimes it takes a tiger’s eye to see the truth.
Review:
Dead Eye by Alyssa Day is the 1st book in her new Tiger’s Eye Series. I am a big fan of Alyssa’s Warriors of Poseidon series. I was thrilled to find out one of our favorite characters in that series was going to get his own story. Dead Eye is Jack’s series, which he will be the lead with Tess, our heroine.
Jack returns home to Dead Eye, Florida and finds out his uncle was murdered. He hasn’t seen Tess, who was a kid when he left many years ago, and he is surprised to see a beautiful young woman. Jack inherits with Tess, the town pawn shop and a private investigation business. He learns from Tess about witches and a crooked sheriff, who are possibly behind his uncle’s murder, not to mention more murders that will come. Together both Jack and Tess will put their lives in danger to find out the truth, and stop the powerful witch.
Anything more would be spoilers. It was great to see Jack again, and I really like Tess, who played a major role in this book. We can tell that Jack and Tess find themselves attracted to each other, but this is a slow build romance that we expect will be explored further in the next book. The last half of the book, was very exciting, and I sat on the edge of my seat to reach the tense climax.
This series will revolve around Jack’s Tiger’s Eye private investigation business, which will keep him in Dead Eye with Tess. I look forward to the next book of this series, and what Alyssa Day has in store for us with Jack and Tess.

Jack was one of my favorites, though I had many, on Warriors of Poseidon. I always wanted to know what would happen to him. I did not know about this series, and I am thrilled. Thanks Barb.
Very nice review. Warriors of the Poseidon was one of my all time favorite series, and I am a big fan of Alyssa Day. I will be buying this book.
Sounds interesting Barb, thanks. So…do we need to read the original series to understand what is happening?
Thanks for the review Barb. I haven’t read the original series. Will I be missing some information?
Nice review Barb and I appreciate you leaving out spoilers. I don’t like being spoiled when I plan to read a book. I want to read this one as i liked Jack in The Warriors of Poseidon series. Man I miss those characters. Wonder if any will make cameo appearances in this series.
Great review Barb and I picked this up also. Was so excited to see a book from Alyssa again. Would love to know when The Unforgiven book three in the Black Swan series will be out.
Terrific review, Barb. I loved the Warriors of Poseidon. Nice to see Jack in this book. I too would love to see our warriors again.
Thanks for the review Barb. I will add the ‘cover’ looks quite juvenile…almost middle grade .
Looks like a wonderful story, thanks Barb.
