I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series! Her writing just absolutely sucks you in despite the disturbing scenes throughout. What a great story combo of romance, thriller, mystery and horror. Really enjoyed it!

This book starts out slow and picks up speed. I got about halfway through the book and couldn't put it down. The book does get graphic at times. I really enjoyed Jeffrey and Sara and their relationship. I had a hard time liking Lena. I would recommend it to someone who enjoys murder mysteries and thrillers.
