Book Overview

COLORADO BOOK AWARD 2023 WINNER, BEST THRILLER

The past is never far behind, as a string of murders threatens to unleash long-buried secrets in this pulse-pounding thriller for fans of Melinda Leigh and T. R. Ragan.

The only survivor of Denver's notorious "Reaper" serial murders, FBI Special Agent Kendall Beck grapples with the ghosts of her past by seeking justice for victims of abuse. She's neck deep in a particularly ugly case involving the disappearance of five-year-old Emily Williams--but her investigation is derailed when her best friend and roommate, Gwen Tavich, turns up dead floating in a nearby lake.

Devastated by the news of Gwen's death, Kendall teams up with Denver detective Adam Taylor to find the killer. Gwen's fianc , Ty Butler, is being evasive about the last time he saw Gwen, and as the evidence mounts against him, he's arrested for the murder. With every new clue, Kendall questions how well she really knew her friend. And when Gwen's dark secrets begin spilling out one by one, she begins to understand the devastating magnitude of her murder. The Reaper has returned to Denver--and he's not stopping at just one victim.

As the trauma of Kendall's past comes roaring back, she and Adam have no time to spare before more bodies start piling up. And then Kendall makes a shocking discovery that reveals the horrifying truth behind Emily Williams's disappearance. Now, Kendall must confront her darkest fears as she and the Reaper face off one more time.

Police Thriller

This is a Crime/Police Thriller/Mystery. I did really enjoy reading this book, and it pulled me into this story. There was a couple things that bother me while reading this book. The first thing was there was to much going on, and it felt a little jumpy and not focus at times. The next thing was a know what the big twist was going to be for early in the book and way before it was revealed. I did still enjoy the ending. I also wanted more action in this book. The characters where good, but I just wanted more for the story. I listened to the audiobook for this book, and the narrator did a really good job. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
