Review

Such a great police team the author created here.

Ellie is very determined. In each case she fight with all she has against the most cruel and disturbed killers. She also has had a lot to deal with in her private life, but everything seems to settle a bit there.

Special Agent Fox. He does not lack in determination either and his relationship with Ellie is complicated due to the past.

Ranger Cord. He and Ellie go way back and his past is dark.

Sherriff Bryce. By far my least favourite person, but this is changing slowly for the better.

The team struggles with this case. In the beginning they think it’s crystal clear, but in fact it’s far, far more complex than that.

The story behind the culprit is really heart breaking and in a way they are not a bad person. It’s probably one example of how people can react to devastating events. It was sad and I understood what they were trying to do. The way they went about it, was of course the wrong one.

This book followed a very twisty and bumpy road and it resulted in an amazing book. I enjoyed it from the very first page and it was hard to put it down. 5 stars

Thank you, Rita Herron and Bookouture

About the author

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Rita Herron fell in love with books at the ripe age of eight when she read her first Trixie Belden mystery. But she didn’t think real people grew up to be writers, so she became a teacher instead. Now she writes so she doesn’t have to get a real job.

With over ninety books to her credit, she’s penned romantic suspense, romantic comedy, and YA novels, but she especially likes writing dark romantic suspense and crime fiction set in small southern towns.
