This is the second book of this series that I have read and I enjoyed both of them. I would gladly read others in the series if/when I find them. As the final book in this series it is a great because it brings in most of the characters from previous books for the grand finale.

A serial killer is on the loose in the area and he has his sights set on Kendra Schmitt. She has kept herself to herself through the years and has managed to avoid succumbing to the overtures of Neil James even though he has made his interest known to her. After a blind date with an online “friend” that left her feeling creeped-out she leans a bit on Neil and then a bit more until he begins to feel there might be a future for the two of them after all. It is not all smooth sailing for the two of them but it is intriguing. With the killer doing his thing and trying to reach Kendra while Neil and his buddies protect her, the story becomes very intense and is a real page turner.

I liked the interaction between Neil and Kendra. I found Kendra’s strength admirable although I sometimes questioned why she did what she chose to do. I liked the idea presented that healing, physical and mental, is best done with the support of those that care about you.

I would like to thank NetGalley and BookBuzz and the author for the copy of this book to read in exchange for my honest review. ( )
