This was better than book 6, but not by much (and a lot better than book 5). This takes place in Canada over the course of about a week. I was irritated with Temperance and Andrew through most of the book and it kept switching who I was most irritated with; but I think it was her. How is she that smart but always making such horrible decisions! Yet again she is in mortal danger because of her own actions, which could have been resolved if she just talked to Andrew.

I get she was mad at him because she thought he was cheating, and it's his fault for not telling her from the start what was going on, but she could have told him where she was going. And she not only put herself in danger, but her friend too! Him having a surprise daughter was unexpected, but he could have said something earlier than he did. Now, for the case. I was NOT prepared for stolen identities, kidnapped and tortured girls, and reverse Stockholm Syndrome. This was a lot, and these are crime books and this was still a lot.

It's going to take a while to recover from this story. But the past two have been much better and have me interested in the series again.
