Genre: Mystery Thriller Action
If you love high-octane thrillers with a badass protagonist, then the Anna Croix book series by SM Reeve is a must-read! Think Lara Croft meets Reacher—packed with relentless action, deadly missions, and a fierce heroine who doesn’t back down. Across three gripping novels and two backstory short stories, Anna’s journey is a whirlwind of vengeance, danger, and justice. And I’m extra excited about this series because I make a cameo as a nurse in Wesley!
Anna Croix Book Series in Order
📖 Book 1: Avenger of Blood (2023)Anna Croix’s perfect life is shattered when her entire family is brutally murdered. With nothing left to lose, she embarks on a ruthless quest for revenge. But will vengeance be enough, or will it consume her completely?
Book Length: 372
About Book: How do you go from poster child of All-American-Girl-Next-Door to Calculating-Killer-on-a-Murderous-Rampage? Try discovering a houseful of your family's bloody corpses.
Anna Croix's life was perfect, until suddenly it wasn't.
Amazing family? Check. Doting Fiancé? Check. The career she's always wanted? Almost check. And then there was nothing ...
Nothing but a gaping hole longing to be filled. Question is, does she fill it with peace and acceptance or bitterness and a burning drive for revenge?
The latter, of course. Because it's not every day your entire family gets slaughtered.
But first, she needs to know why ... and by whom.
Then there's the issue of finding them and what to do once she has.
Will she really be able to commit murder?
Most definitely.
Not a problem.
Her problem is knowing when to stop.

Book Length: 374
About Book: A stalker. A drug dealer. A sex trafficker. Gumby and Napoleon. What do all these things have in common? They just made it to the top of Anna's list. Anna is impulsive, not suicidal. Most days. So what would possess her to traipse across the country in hopes of infiltrating the cartel? Maybe it's been too long since she's chased someone down. Or maybe it's this ho-hum career Spike has saddled or with. Or maybe it's something else entirely ...Either way, her list of douche-mongers continues to grow, and they will be paid a visit. Every. Single. One.
📖 Book 3: Burned (2024)When Spike disappears in Central America, Anna won’t stop until she finds him. Armed to the teeth and ready for war, she dives into a mission filled with betrayal, chaos, and unexpected alliances. Will she make it out alive?
Book Length: 326
About Book: "Do you know what happens when you steal someone's hope? You break them. A tip ... find out what a person's version of broken looks like before you break them. I've been told mine is unpleasant." (Anna Croix, just now)Why is Anna broken? Because Spike has gone missing in Central America. Right when her life was finally starting to get put back together.
Figures. Naturally, she sets out to find him. How hard could road tripping through three of the most dangerous countries in the world with a truckload of weapons possibly be? Harder than she thought. Which is why she enlists the help of some unlikely allies—some of which might be planning to kill her. Kill being a lose term. More like torture to death or blow to smithereens.
Semantics. Unless she's not able to find him before they find her ...Things she can worry about later. Right now, she has havoc to wreak, kingpins to unseat, and ... hearts to steal? Justice will be served.
