Kendall Shaw, local Richmond
reporter turned anchorwoman, has spent the last year recovering after being in
a serial killer’s sights. Now there are women dying who resemble her and one of
the detectives in charge of the investigation, Jacob Warwick, thinks she’s a
target. Again. As Jacob and Kendall dig into the victims’ pasts, at first there
doesn’t appear to be a connection between them. But Kendall’s sudden nightmares
just might tell a different story. Can they catch a killer before the killer
catches Kendall?
Told from several POVs
this chilling story of a man with an obsession is a nail-biter. The writing is
great and the murderer is evasive, but I had a hard time with the characters.
Kendall and Jacob in particular. I just couldn’t quite warm up to them.
Their character development also seems a bit lacking and the romance between
them kinda sudden. However, the suspense build up with the killer is decent.
Even if this isn’t the greatest tale out there, it’s enough to keep me turning
the pages.
Burton often does a slow burn that then suddenly catches fire and you're left wondering what just happened.
ReplyDeleteI've read 2 others of hers that I really enjoyed so this was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe I'll like the next one better. I have a few more on deck.
