Last Breath

This book started off great. The prologue was truly scary and creepy. After that, the book settled into the usual hunt for a serial killer procedural. I liked the main character, CJ. She was a strong woman who didn't give up. Even though the plot was a little predictable, it still moved along nicely, and kept up the action through out. This was the second book by Michael Prescott that I have read, and I plan to read more. He is a very entertaining author.

C.J. Osborn was ten years old when the boogeyman came for her. Ever since, she has feared his return.

Now an LAPD cop, C.J. faces danger every day on the streets of Newton Division - Shootin' Newton," the city's roughest territory. But the greatest danger lies in C.J.'s own home, where a stranger's eyes are watching her - a stranger who plans to finish what he started sixteen years ago ...

Suspenseful, fast-moving with twists and turns you don't see coming. I can always depend on Michael Prescott to keep me on the edge of my seat!. Very enjoyable."

Last Breath by Michael Prescott has a good premise (the boogeyman appears to a small girl, and she battles fear all her life), and the characters have a lot of potential. However, the plot hinged on coincidences and didn't seem plausible to me.

Good mystery. Creepy serial killer chases child, no one believes her. She grows up to chase criminals. Pretty cliche but a good read.
