Charlie Fox teaches self defense to women in a small city in England. When her friend drags her along to a new club for karaoke, Charlie finds herself using her skills to fend off another patron in the club, which doesn't go unnoticed by the club's owner, Marc Quinn. He quickly offers her a security job at his club.
The same patron is found brutally murdered and Charlie is drawn into the investigation as more women she's been in contact with turn up dead. Even as her relationship with Marc is heating up, she's convinced that the murderer is someone connected with his club but can't seem to communicate with the police because of her own background.
KILLER INSTINCT was only okay. It's one of those stories where the main character keeps putting herself at risk; going to places alone that she shouldn't and confronting people who are dangerous without any backup. The author has given Charlie Fox supernatural self-defense skills and a very stunted personality with too much anger that makes her more annoying than engaging.
You might want to skip this one.
