Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-07 00:00:00 Luca Corai Montico Twelve years ago, Miranda Moore escaped from certain death from the clutches of a serial killer known as the Butcher who managed to murder her best friend. He's still at large and she's dedicated her life to participating in the searches for the young women captured and killed since her own abduction. She's also dedicated to helping find him but when the sheriff calls in FBI Special Agent Quinn Peterson to help with the case when another young woman goes missing, things get awkward. She hasn't seen him in ten years since her quest to join the Agency was upended along with their relationship. Stories involving serial killers are always unsettling but this one was particularly disturbing as Miranda is a survivor and shared her first-hand experience. The author manages to convey not just the horrific details but the emotional toll throughout the ordeal. The fear was palpable, at times more awful than the acts perpetrated on the victims. My heart raced for the entire last 25% of the story as law enforcement closed in! Miranda's characterization as both victim and survivor was masterful as no shortcuts seem to have been taken. I'm glad she had an earlier relationship (a really strong one) with Quinn because otherwise their current reunion wouldn't have been believable. It worked here. This is a tough story but one I give high marks for its authenticity in story and character design. Miranda's triumph is the most important element and her journey to that was hard. But, it's one I'm glad I experienced. Beware, however, as the details of the Butcher's cruelty are graphic and detailed.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-07 00:00:00 David Dean Fast paced and utterly terrifying plot. These books are a lot more suspense than romance. The heroine is tenacious and stubborn. Miranda is driven, even if it puts her in danger. The hero is steadfast and in control when everything is coming apart around him. Loved Quinn. For twelve years Miranda Moore has lived with the visual and invisible reminders of what happened to her. It has defined her whole life. Each spring when the Butcher takes another victim it is a reminder that she survived while her best friend died. Now another girl is dead and local Sherriff, Nick Thomas, has called in the FBI to assist him. Now he has to face Miranda and tell her another girl is dead and her former lover, FBI Special Agent Quincy Peterson, is on the case. Quinn is one of the reasons Miranda isn't an FBI agent. Along with breaking her heart, he stole her career. Quinn hated having been a part of the reason Miranda didn't graduate the Academy ten years ago. He loved her and wanted nothing but the best for her. He knows how obsessed she is about catching the Butcher and will resent his presence here again. This monster has hunted for fifteen years and left barely a trace. Quinn and Miranda will need to work together to find this monster while Miranda comes to terms with her very much alive feelings for Quinn, her worst nightmares and wondering if this monster is someone who is hiding in plain sight.
