I was skeptical of this book at first. It did start out in a confusing format, but once I understood that it was a great book! I fell in love with all the characters and became pretty emotionally invested. I’d recommend this book to anyone who enjoys crime shows like bones or criminal minds.
I’m definitely going to read more books by this author in the near future!

Way, way too many characters to keep track of with similar names and nicknames involved. Way too much stuff going on with all the characters involved makes it hard to read at times. This is a book that can't quite decide what it want's to be. The insta-love couple felt forced and was there just because it's part of the formula for one of the types of books this one is trying to be.

Really enjoyed the book, very interesting insights into the killers mindset.
A thread of romance was through the books too which I enjoyed but it wasn’t the main focus at all, so didn’t detract from the story.
Overall really enjoyed the book, would recommend to people who enjoy crime/thriller books

I found the story very engaging, especially once it passed the halfway point. The ending was pretty cheesy though and I didn't care for the all the instant boners and most of the narratives surrounding younger characters' sexuality, so that's the one missing star. The story flow and development was on point, as always.

Not one of her best. Ford and Taylor didn't grip me like many previous couples. And I only ended up reading for Clay and Stevie who are amongst my favourites.
There were too many reintroductions - which were unnecessary. And too much rehashing of completely irrelevant back stories.Which got highly irritating. You can drop a slight hint about Holly learning karate which a fan would pick out without the exposition that Rose feels we need. The book didn't need Paige and Grayson and Deacon and Faith coming back. Conversations such as talking about Dani's health, did not add to this story, as much as I would love to read Dani's own story, her backstory didn't need to be mentioned here

As someone who always reads the new Karen Rose novel this one did not disappoint, and was another fabulous addition to the series. I found it thrilling, fantastic plot and I could not put it down.

I received this ARC from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
Jazzie Jarvis is only 11 years old, but she has seen who killed her mama... she will try to protect her little sister refusing to say a word... sadly the killer doesn't want to leave any loose ends and will not stop till she is dead... Ready for a cat and a mouse thriller?
This is not the book we are used to read from Karen Rose, we know since the beginning who is the killer but this doesn't mean the book is not interesting!
I liked how Karen made a book with all the characters from the previous book of this series, it was great to remember all the characters and know how their lives had progressed (and their families grown!)
There's a lot of action in this book, a little bit of suspense and of course love! This book is more centred in feelings, emotions and family. I can not say that I didn't like it because like all the Karen Rose books it kept me glued in it since the beginning till the last page, but I was expecting a twist or a surprise that never arrived...
This book talks about family, you, as a child, should always know that your parents will protect you from any danger. The problem is, if you can not trust your parents, who is there to help a little child? I really can not imagine the feeling of being alone in the world without anyone to trust! That's why I loved the Healing Hearts project, that provide therapy to traumatized children. I hope this kind of centres really exist and that are there for everyone that needs them, not something just for the rich people!
It was sad discovering the true story of Taylor, is quite emotive but it shows us how brave she is! But I will not make any type of spoiler, so you will have to read the book!
This is a psychological thriller where the hunter will not hesitate to kill to survive.
What your are afraid of?
