Very fun read, lots of suspense but time jumps were strange. For example, there would be a scene where certain individuals were in a car together travelling but instead of using that for a plot device, Barnes used a time jump to skip over the potential that was there. Aside from missed opportunities,. very enjoyable!

The first book in this series didn’t hit me the way I’d hoped it would, but I’m so glad I kept reading, because I loved this book! I felt much more connected to the characters, and the storyline was more interesting.

Throughout the story, I thought I knew what was happening, and then something would change my mind, and then I’d be confused, and then the cycle would repeat. In the end, I was so right and so wrong at the same time.

I liked the building of relationships of the main characters. The plot took a lot of fun twists and turns and didn’t end the way I expected. I enjoyed that I couldn’t figure out the ending upon first glance.

Just as good as the first one. There was something missing for me which was the further development of the romance. Sorry, I’m a romance girly at heart 💜 I still loved the twists and figuring out who the serial killer was.

I felt like this book was a little more foreseeable for me than the first one.

Spoiler

I definitely didn't expect three killers. But I did expect Webber to be part of this. It just made sense that a person on the inside, a guard, was involved.
I love Cassie and Dean together.

Agent Sterling definitely grew on me. I feel like Redding could have been written to be a little more despisable. He was to easy for me to get over/to forget.
