Like Bobbie MUCH more in this one! ( )

This one kept me guessing all the way to the climax of the book. Debra Webb does a great job of setting you up for the next book! You can tell that there's more to come.

I did feel that somewhat distracted by a subplot that didn't have much bearing on the story. The Antagonist (Serial killer) was good, but wasn't a formidable opponent in my opinion. I could be comparing to the Storyteller in the first few books though. It could also be the expectation from foreshadowing early on in the book providing some amount of misdirection. So I was expecting more of a bang at the end. ( )

I have read several of the books in this author's Faces of Evil series. I really enjoyed reading those books. While, I did not read the first book in this new series, I had no problem jumping right into this book. Bobby is a strong character. The little bit I got to know about her, made me that more intrigued to know more. Then there is the dynamics between her and Nick. They are not lovers but the bond they share spilled over blood keeps me in the game. Nick has mystery surrounding him. He is like an onion. As each layer was revealed, more questions were left. Just like the big one left towards the end of the story.

The first half of the story was more about the characters. This was nice in a way for me as I was able to get familiar with them having not read the first book. Yet, after a while, I did want the story to pick up the pace and get more focused on the serial killer. Luckily, this happened in the later second half of the story. There were some face offs. I know that Bobby does not go down without a fight. I look forward to following this series. ( )
