I really liked this book even though it took a little getting used to the main POV being different from the first two. It was interesting learning more background about Sarah, Monty and Logan while still having a little knowledge about Eve and her life. This book was intense in some ways and had a bit of a different feel than the first but was great.

Best part-Loved the dog rescue and how attentive the owner handler was.
Worst part-The dog handlers choices didn't always follow her talk.
Over all I enjoyed this suspense read. I am a sucker for a book with a dog, got me right there. Then they toped it with a really nasty villain, and sexy alpha man and an equally alpha woman. I was left guessing till the end, which is always nice.
I will go back and read the first 2 books in this series before moving on more.

3.5 This was not my favorite book. This series is supposed to be about Eve Duncan. She was barely a part of this book and finding her daughter’s remains was such a let down as there was so much build up to it in the first two books. In this book it was like ‘oh yea we found Bonnie and now she’s at peace’. How did her story just POOF and disappear? Aarrgghhhh!!!!

I do love the characters Sarah and Monty but I finished this book wanting so much more…

Featuring some secondary or recently introduced characters from Johansen's previous novel The Killing Game, the change of focus and additional cast of characters keep it fresh with a plot that is a bit more interesting than the previous installment.
