It’s a bit predictable but at this point I’ve watched years of procedurals on TV so I kind of expect that. I still enjoyed the story and found it to be a nice break from all the romance novels I’ve read lately.

While this book has very difficult scenes related to rape, abduction and assault the victim is not only treated with respect but is the heroine. Worth the read but be warned if these topics are triggering this may not be the book for you.

If you like criminal minds- you’ll love this! 

Pacing is a little off, basically the whole book leads up to a couple of pages of non stop action. 

However, it was really entertaining and I liked it! 

HUGE TRIGGER WARNINGS THOUGH.
