“Intimidation was a drug. But control was an illusion.”
I've had this series on my radar for years now, but somehow it took me a long long time to actually start it. I finally read the first book last year, and yet again it has taken me longer than expected to actually pick up the sequel. I'm not sure why to be honest, because UNSUB was without doubt an excellent read... Anyway, Into The Black Nowhere seems to be having a different feel than the first book, and it is without doubt a proper FBI thriller as well as a serial killer hunt. It focuses heavily on the FBI profiling as well as the hunt itself, and there is plenty of action and danger lurking around every corner. The identity of the killer is revealed quite early on and at one point you are kind of wondering how there is still so much of the book left with the plot pretty much wrapped up... Until a plot twist bomb is thrown at you that puts everything on its head. Into The Black Nowhere can quite easily be read as a stand-alone, because the case itself has nothing to do with the first book. A few references to the past are made though, as well as a promise of what is yet to come in book three... And I will be looking forward to (hopefully) read the next book some time soon.

Less interesting than the first, but ends on a great cliffhanger.
There is a brief adult scene about 70% of the way through the book. From listening to the audio book, it ended up lasting about a couple minutes at most.
