This is the 4th book in the Huntress series, so don't try to read it without reading the others. That said, I won't give anything away with this book because they are really tied closely to the others. It was a good continuation of the stories before and definitely enjoyable. I already have the 5th book from NG, I just need to take the time to read it.

Fans of suspense should give this book a try, it's one of the rare Female serial killer books, and even with that, there's some different stuff of what you see with it. It's not the best books out there, but they are definitely enjoyable and worth the read.

Cara Lindstrom is in the wind and Matt Roarke has taken leave from the FBI for awhile as he tries to get his head straight. But, he decides to start from her beginning to seek answers and it leads him to the town where she was assigned to her first group home. There is definitely something off in that place and Roarke makes it his mission to uncover the truth.

I loved how this story was told almost as much as the story itself. Roarke's investigation is chronicled in the present as Cara's is real time when she was 14-years old, fresh out of California's dreadful Youth Authority. The contrast was fascinating as the two experiences were paralleled and we learn so much more about her and those who had a profound impact on her. Even more troublesome though is the abysmal treatment of the children in the custody of the social services system and the sad state of affairs regarding rape investigations. All feature significantly in this story but the last two aren't fiction. We've much work to do here as a society. There are some vile creatures in this story but balanced by some true heroes.

I especially enjoyed seeing Roarke in action on his own, getting a strong sense of the man and agent as he finds his way. Things are not completely resolved here but he (and I) have a lot more clarity as it relates to the enigmatic Cara Lindstrom. I'm still slayed by this series and impatiently await the next book.

(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)
