I have read books by this author on and off for a while. The last one was in the Eve Duncan trilogy. Which I do like Even but I noticed that I was not feeling it as much as I used to. The story line is about the same as the last one and the one before that. Reading this book I felt that excitement again reading books by this author. I like Kendra. She is kind of what Eve started out like. She is smart and tough. Even when it seemed she was cornered, she never fully let the fear overtake her.
Another reader mentioned that this was a gruesome book in regards to the murders. Which it kind of was but not that gruesome. I have read way more gruesome books but Chelsea Cain. Yes, there is some beheading but the cat and mouse chase is what I really enjoyed.

Entertaining in the way an episode of television is - I liked the story and the characters, but nothing was much unexpected or very memorable. It did make time on my flight go by fast, for which I'm thankful.

Forced into another blind date by her well-meaning mother, Kendra Michaels is eager for things to come to an end. The man loves one subject: himself. She notices the scene of a car accident on the TV above the bar. As her attention is drawn to the story, she says to her date that they are treating it like an accident. However, Kendra possesses incredibly fine skills. In brief, she was blinded as a child, and had learned to fine-tune her other senses. A successful surgery has since returned her vision, thus sharpening her skills even more. She tells her date, Dean by the way, that they are handling things wrong. They are treating it like an accident, but she can tell - even from the television across the room - that the tragedy was not caused by an accident, but much more than that.
She asks Dean to take her to the scene of the accident. Date over. Kendra is stepping in and won't take no for an answer. She approaches the officer handling things and begins sharing her acute observations. Kendra is no rubbernecker who randomly shown up at a traffic accident. She is Dr. Kendra Michaels and has acquired quite a reputation. She is asked to stay around and is indeed pulled into the investigation.
Kendra has previously put away several killers. Now it seems that a killer is replicating some of the methods those other killers employed. This is the deduction that Kendra makes at the outset. As she gets deeper into the investigation she is forced to match wits with serial killer Eric Colby. His DNA was found at the scene. However, he was the first killer Kendra ever put away and has been on death row for the past four years. She knows she must go and talk to Eric Colby and that will be no easy task.
Meanwhile, Kendra soon finds herself working former FBI special agent Adam Lynch yet again. This investigation no doubt places Kendra in grave danger, and Kendra takes refuge in Adam's fortified home while they look for the serial killer. Adam knows that Kendra won't be safe, and assures her that his home will provide all the protection she will need, thus giving the both of them the best chance at finding the killer.
Despite the protection offered Kendra, she is concerned about the safety of her family and friends, especially her mother, possibly being targeted. Also, the more she and Adam work together, the stronger their growing attraction to each other becomes. Add to the incredible sexual tension, the pulse-pounding action in this story makes it a thoroughly exciting read.

Good enough, not great. The Johansen's smooth pacing and command of suspense kept my interest. Kendra's former blindness is brought up too often. Her blunt speaking and actions may infuriate some readers. The ending seemed rushed and with lose ends for Kendra to tackle in the next installment.
