I am not super impressed with the storyline and character development in this one. Started off so strong with the attack on Tess, but it was downhill from there. And like god damn how many serial killers can hit this town in a year-ish period? I think this one is the most poorly rated, so I am hoping for good things in the next one or the Will Trent series. 

What the fuck is wrong with Lena Adams? Her character just doesn't really make sense, especially her relationship with a white supremacist. I saw another review that described what happens to Lena in this book as torture porn and I agree. All of the books include something just completely brutal happening to her and I am over it. 

Jeffrey and Sara's relationship is so great in this book and I really like their growth together. I did spoil for myself and I know that it won't last, which really sucks because I felt invested in them.
