Was kind of boring compared to the other books. I just stopped right in the middle of the book and did not read it for quite some time. But I found out that I had to read the whole book. So I kind of had higher hopes for it.

Loved this book!!
The previous 2 in the series were good, but not as awesome as the others. I feel like this one brought it back to the series's previous glory!

So good! I love this series. Just when I think Cain can't write anything grosser, she goes for it. Man, there's some creepy stuff in here.

Any book with Archie and Gretchen is a psychological treat. This one also had a drug kingpin and another serial killer storyline. The old familiar characters are back, and Gretchen is at her twisted best.
SPOILER ALERT: I have been suspicious of Rachel from the time she was introduced to this series, and my suspicions were finally validated. I also thought the ending of this was a bit far-fetched. Gretchen slaughtering multiple body guards without any injury to herself, overpowering all those men? I also don't understand how she was able to answer a call on the island, when previously the book states that cell phone signals to the island were blocked.

Archie Sheridan has an upcoming birthday. What better way to celebrate than with friends and family. Only Archie has to work. He acts as recon to find out if Susan’s boyfriend and undercover agent, Leo is alive. Archie attends Jack Reynold’s masquerade party on All Hallow’s Eve. This night will be sure to bring out all of the crazies. The biggest crazy of them all…Gretchen. She is back.
Let Me Go is the latest Gretchen and Archie novel. Gretchen is still on the loose after escaping the mental hospital in the prior novel, Kill You Twice. However in good fashion, she does make an appearance in this book. Only most of her presence is felt from the past. Which I admit from the beginning I did not make this connection. I was thinking it was current events that had Archie and Gretchen together again.
I knew these two’s relationship was on a different level. One that was twisted and sick in many ways. However I did not realize how much so it was in the bedroom until this book. Even though it was sick in a fascinating way I was glad to have Gretchen back in any fashion in this book. So much so that I do believe she will be back even if the ending of this book may try to say otherwise.
As far as the rest of the book went it was fine. It was great to see all of the regulars again. Susan is getting tougher with each book. She is my second favorite female. There was not a lot of gore in this book. It was more on the psychological side.

Another scary entry in the Gretchen series. Gretchen broke out of the looney bin in the last book and is on the loose in this one. Archie is not permitted to be part of the case looking for Gretchen but ends up crossing paths with her anyway. Lots of super scary and creepy bits.

This is the sixth installment in Chelsea Cain's series about a serial killer and the cop who has been involved with her in many ways. I've enjoyed this series quite a bit, but it's becoming clear that it has run its course. The characters are less vivid than they've been and Gretchen Lowell, the serial killer, has slowly changed into someone who can do anything, manipulate anyone and go anywhere undetected despite being extraordinarily beautiful. It's boring. Even Susan, the disorganized journalist with amazing googling skills and a quirky personality, was flat. The actual plot was interesting enough, even if it took Gretchen acting as a sort of Deus ex Machina to resolve things. Really, this one is only for the die hard fans who have trouble letting go.
