Unstable, by Alexandra Ivy., Although this suspenseful book seemed to move slowly it still was able to give me all the qualities of a good book. The story offered so many twist and turns of who could be the killer. Those were a few of the good parts to the book. The flashbacks of returning to previous murders was a added plus to the story. Having Zac team up with his wife was awesome too. I like that Zac was the lawman of his town and was able to keep track of nearly everyone, meaning he new what was happening in his town. The book is a good story and I look to more to read from the author.

This is the first book I’ve read in this series but they can all be read as stand alones. The series is based in the same town with recurring characters but each book focuses on a different set of main characters. Sheriff Zac Evans has to team up with his ex wife Rachel when their cases overlap. She works in cold cases and a fingerprint from her investigation has been flagged up in Zac’s case. Pike has a twisted killer who seems to be reenacting brutal murders from the past. However, the police don’t seem to have a record of any previous killings. The murders are dark and Ivy knows how to set the scene. It’s a tense race to catch a sadistic killer although I did find the pace slow in places. The added romantic suspense really adds to the story. I will definitely be going back to read the first two books in the series. I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I love an eerie thriller! Someone in this small town of Pike is hunting females. An easy thrilling stand alone.
What did I like? The cover is gruesome but the story is laid out as a thriller and second chance romance combined. It’s always daunting to read about what one person can put another through and this one was chilling. The hunt to find the killer was unique and the ending satisfying.
Would I recommend or buy? This is an easy author to buy since most retailers have her books. I’m pleasantly surprised I enjoy her thrillers just as much as her PNR.
Four stars!

Unputdownable crime thriller with a nice romantic, not toxic, sub-plot. Although it was fairly easy to work out who the killer was, it was still an exciting read that reminded me of Karin Slaughter's work.
