MY REVIEW
Between the cover and the title, I knew I had to grab me a copy of A Cut Above by Rebekah Dodson. It’s a fast read and an interesting plot line. Allison Chase has a condition known as Fatal Familial Insomnia, with the emphasis on FATAL. Since her failure on SuperChefs her life has fallen apart. As her grip on reality falters and chefs start dying, detective Lucas Gray becomes an ally. The more I read, the darker the story became and the more I loved it. The shifting points of view help to see the thoughts and actions of both main characters. There were a couple of bumps along the way, but I would recommed A Cut Above by Rebekah Dodson.
My thanks go out to Rebekah Dodson for the opportunity to read A Cut Above.

GOODREADS BLURB
Allison Chase was on the verge of her dream of winning SuperChefs. A half-million-dollar prize and culinary stardom were finally within her grasp. But when a devastating third-place loss leaves her life in ruins, she’s forced to pick up the pieces in a world that suddenly feels cold and dangerous.
The disaster doesn’t end when the cameras stop rolling. When her former castmates fall victim to a series of tragedies, Allison realizes someone is settling a score. The only person who seems to believe her is Lucas Gray, a rugged, sharp-eyed detective with a reputation for playing by his own rules. As they team up to uncover who’s “cutting” the competition, the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore.
In a game where the stakes are life and death, Allison must decide whether she can trust the cop who’s captured her heart or if he’s just another player in a deadly recipe.
Fans of You by Caroline Kepnes, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, and The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides will enjoy this story of competition gone cutthroat… literally.
