This is the second book in the series and I was pleasantly surprised by how it surpassed my expectations. The plot is gripping, with fast-paced and brutal murders that keep you on the edge of your seat. But be warned because they are graphic and the author doesn't hold anything back. Luc and Ava face intense pressure from all sides as they struggle to find leads in the case. Meanwhile, Ava's personal life adds extra stress, straining her relationship with Luc, who is still dealing with his own psychological issues following a rape allegation.
Ava is also now in a relationship with an old flame, who is an absolute tool I really feel for Luc throughout the book.
What I really appreciate about the book is how the author portrays the characters' flaws and struggles, making them feel extremely real and relatable. None of them are perfect and you can imagine working alongside them. I can't wait to see what happens next in the series, especially after the way this book ended.
