Me gustó mucho más que el primero. No me había atrapado demasiado y no me decidía si continuar leyendo los libros, por suerte lo hice y me encantó

The writing has improved slightly since the first book. I still enjoy her writing though. It is still simple, but enjoyable. The pacing never felt too slow or too rushed. Even the ending didn't feel rushed. That is the biggest problem I have while reading. I never wanted to put it down.
The ending was also a great twist. Definitely didn't expect it to turn out like that. But, I never try to figure out the mystery. I feel like it ruins the rest of the book for me. I don't want to know the ending before I finish the book. So, this was perfect.

I don't even know why I own this. It is a classic airport fare whodunnit and it is a pretty bad one. Everyone is a trope on legs, I knew who did it as soon as we met him and there is not a single thing that is left for you to uncover. Every emotion is actively reflected and thought about. This isn't my cup of tea, but I understand if someone else likes it for the simplicity.

My Rating: 4.5 Stars
There is a brutal serial killer on the loose. After several bodies were unearthed, in his frustration that he may have finally made a mistake after years of killing, he sets his sights of renowned forensic sculptor Eve Duncan.
Years ago, Eve lost her precious daughter Bonnie to a serial killer. She has crafted her career structuring faces from skeletons and other means with hopes of providing closure to families who have lost their children. Eve, however, never had such closure. Bonnie's body was never found. Until now. Now? Quite possibly. Therefore, the investigation into the site where the bodies are found takes on an extremely personal edge.
In order to have Eve believe that one of the bodies discovered is actually Bonnie's, the killer begins a terrifying game of cat and mouse. To capture Eve's attention, the life of a ten-year-old child is suddenly at risk. Eve begins receiving clues as to the girl's danger, all while hoping to reconstruct the skeleton that just might be Bonnie's.
Before the discovery of the bodies, Eve took off with John Logan. Not only was she able to shake off her traumatic work for a time, she was able to fully regroup. Little did Eve know that close friend Joe Quinn had been looking for the perfect opportunity to snatch her back and to make her a part of his life. in a way she never expected or even dreamed could happen. Meanwhile, Joe is extremely concerned for Eve and knows that the identification of the skeleton might hurt Eve to the very core.
The Killing Game is a fast-moving book. Not only is Eve in danger, but also a young child. Meanwhile, there is a fair bit of romance in this story. Readers of the first book, The Face of Deception, might not be surprised, but perhaps as to the reasoning. Nonetheless, the course has been set and there are now 25 titles in this exciting series. I have already had the pleasure of reading a few more at the time of writing this review, The Search, Body of Lies and Dead Aim. Blind Alley is next in line for my greedy eyes.

This book was kind of a mess but I still had a good time reading it. The characters seemed a little flat and I could have done without the forced romance but still enjoyable. Eve is brought back to the States by Joe who's found a girl skeleton and wants her to see if it could be Bonnie. The real killer has decided to taunt Eve and make her his focus on an elaborate serial killer murder mystery tour. I had hoped to see more of Eve growing and becoming a well rounded person but really it was like watching a cheesy soap opera instead.
