This book has been my favorite so far in the series, especially because I have loved Ramirez. I didn’t realize how much I would love her until this book. I love the way the series is following this FBI team, and I love the way characters interact with each other and support each other. Despite the haunting incidents and situations they are faced with, they always come out together in the end, even when the past is stirred, even when they’re being pushed to their limits.

The third book in the series - and probably the most heartbreaking thus far. Child abuse is a heavy topic. Mix that with trafficking, serial killings, and one detectives traumatic backstory, you get a chilling narrative.
I found this one to be a little slower paced than the others, of course that could just be because it made me emotional. It accurately points out the flaws in the system in regards to foster care and child protective services. It highlights the pain and trauma that follows child abuse and the horrific truths behind it.
The stories in this one was graphic and hard to believe - but the truth behind it is insanely and entirely realistic.
Definitely a hard book to read, but also a hard book to put down.
