This was a wild ride and I was totally here for it! Agent Tori Hunter makes this book really come together and I can't wait to read more about her in future books! This was my 1st book by Roger Stelljes but it will certainly not be my last. I am adding all of his books to my TBR!

This is the first book in the Agent Tori Hunter series by Roger Stelljes, with audio narration by Kate Hanford.
I enjoyed this story, based in a small Minnesota town, where FBI agent Tori Hunter’s twin sister vanished without trace when they were teens. Tori returns after receiving an anonymous message, seemingly from her sister’s killer, challenging her to a battle of wits.
Tori and the local law enforcement bump heads, but join forces to investigate the latest missing girl. This partnership, while fractious, uncovers a string of other abductions.
At times this reads a little like a translation, as some of the terms feel out of place, and the choice of language isn’t always natural. There were also several small issues with credibility; I felt that Tori’s argumentative nature was overplayed somewhat, and there was an occasion where the pretty blunt description of grooming behaviour to a mother who’s daughter had just gone missing, did not feel like the way a competent FBI agent (who specialises in child abduction) would speak to a traumatised parent.
However, the plot was solid and the story moved along at a good pace, so a good four stars from me.
With thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the chance to read an ARC.
This is a review of the audiobook.

I really greatly enjoyed this book! I got it back during the free Kindle book sale and was in the mood for a crime thriller and this book was perfect.
TW: there are some very very dark things that go on in this book
From the jump it had my attention all the way to the end. There are multiple books in this series which I may end up reading eventually but my current TBR is very large.
I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for something high energy and easy to follow!
