Loved It
This book had so many elements that I love in a thriller. It was fast paced and twisty. The race to stop the killer had me on the edge of my seat. He seemed to stay several steps ahead of the police for so long. It was interesting to get his point of view throughout the book. He was so ruthless and deranged. Kara was a powerhouse leading lady. She was super smart and tough as nails. I loved her role in the investigation. I’m looking forward to jumping into the rest of this series. This was a great starting point.

A new procedural series with a mobile response team that feels a lot like Criminal Minds. I love that it’s not focused on one character in particular & we also get a killer POV. There’s nothing new or inventive about it but it just really worked for me. I want more & now I have to wait God knows how long for another installment. I listened via Scribd & thought the narration was perfect.

“The Third To Die”, by Allison Brennan
3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
This was my second book by this author. I started this series reading book #4, which was on sale for $1.99 (Canadian). She has written over 80 books, since 2005!
If book 4 lacks action, this one got plenty in comparison.
I thought that the concept was excellent and the development of the storyline was gripping.
The reason I’m not rating it any higher is because the writing was quite repetitive, and another turn off was how easily they arrived to a conclusion following formulaic phycological analysis. This book could have been a lot shorter, but I really enjoyed reading it.
I didn’t like being inside of the killer’s head, who constantly praised himself as being so smart but I thought that the pacing was very good and interesting.
The characters were strong, with lots of baggage, as if they were already showcased on previous books (I wonder if a prequel will be part of this series, although I don’t think it’s needed).
And the conclusion was quite riveting.
I’m looking forward to reading the sequel.

3.5* Decent crime novel though not much mystery for the reader - good villain origin story for the serial killer though. Some unrealistic details but all in all decent story progression and plot!
