Nice traumatized heroine, for sure, with a nice protective hero, but something was missing. Also, her best bud's behavior was completely ridiculous. OKish. ( )

This book picks up exactly where If You Hear Her ended with Hope and Law in the hospital after there brutal attack. Remy Jennings who is the DA based on the evidence thinks that Hope killed Prather, beat Law with a bat and slit her own wrist. He is on his way to arrest her after talking to her psycho as hell ex husband and believing his lies.

After evidence finally proves Hope didnt do it Remy goes to apologize but Hope not liking and fearing all forms of any one in law enforcement doesn't want anything to do with him.

I liked that we finally got to know more about Hope and what happened to her in her marriage to make her the way she was. Remy was very understanding with her and didnt push there relationship.

As this series of books seem to just end and start where the last one left off it was nice to also see the continuing relationship of Lena and Ezra.

The killer in this book was around but he played a slightly different part in this book which was kind of interesting. I still dont know for sure who it is. I think I have an idea of what his last name is but since there are soo many people with that last name in this series I am not quite sure which one.

Looking forward to the 3rd and final book in this series so we can all finally see who this illusive killer is. ( )

3.5 stars. I really liked this book. I loved Hope, and her grittiness; I loved Remy, for not buying into her ex-husband's lies about her.

And yet. This is the second book in a trilogy about a vicious serial killer, and he doesn't do much more than put in a cameo appearance. Plus, TWO stalkers in the woods at the same time - really? There's definitely danger and suspense, but it doesn't much feel like a continuation of the serial killer storyline.

I liked this storyline, and Hope working to recovering her independence after a soul-destroying, gaslighting abusive marriage, but it felt almost like a separate stand alone novel.

There's also missing "stuff;" Hope left her abusive ex two years previously, and only came to her friend/pseudo brother Law a few months ago, but for both her and her abusive ex, it's as if that time happened only on paper. She doesn't recall any anecdotes in dialogue or internal thought; he reacts as if she's left just the prior week. There should be SOMETHING - she has been followed or pursued, so she's even jumpier, or she hasn't, therefore she's beginning to feel maybe he HAS given up on her.

Enjoyed getting another peek at Lena and Ezra, and the peek at the next couple, Law and Nia. A very good read, but for those who read the first book and are looking to move toward closure - you'll have to wait for book #3. ( )

4.5 stars

I love this series. The characters are great. The story is awesome. I still have no idea who the killer is. I am extremely glad I had all three books. If not, I would be making a run to the book store right now.

I highly recommend purchasing all the books at once. You will NOT be able to read any one of them without the other two. ( )
