This is the second book in the Kate Barnes series and just like the first I was hooked! Kate is a wonderful main character. She has her strengths and flaws. She's strong, independent and vulnerable but she is easy to like and relate to. The connection between her and Tony is another part that I enjoyed! The twists and turns are great! The minute you think you got everything together, another bread crumb I'd dropped and you start all over again! I can't wait to see what the next book brings, especially with that last twist!

Thank you R&R Book Tours and Marie Sutro for sharing this fantastic book with me!

This is the second book featuring SFPD Detective Kate Barnes. I have not read book one, but I did not feel like it was necessary. As far as Kate goes, I did like her. I felt like she was strong but a bit broken. This is not a bad thing as it made her more human and personable. Also, I think that because of this, she feels for the victims in the cases she is solving.

In regards, to this book I did feel like it was a good police protocol one. It did not feel like the killer had the upper hand but that the police were on the right trail. It was just a matter of time. There were a few twists that did keep me engaged. This helped as I did find myself struggling in the beginning to find my engagement with the characters and storyline. Just the latter half and last third of the story is where it did pick up. ( )
