Sophie Barrett loves her job at the Delphi Center working with the Tracers, but she wants to be more than just a mere receptionist. Taking classes might help her chances for promotion, but when she is signing up for a class at the local university, there is a sniper shooting at students on campus. Detective Jonah Macon has already saved Sophie's life once before, but when his police unit is called in to stop the sniper, he discovers that Sophie is right in the center of danger once again. Is this sniper working alone, or is there a larger conspiracy at work? Sophie may hold the key if only someone will believe her.
The story involving the sniper and the conspiracy is well developed in this book. The character of Sophie is irreverent and sarcastic, which makes reading about her a lot of fun; however, there is so much more to her that could have been explored. Sophie is clearly experiencing symptoms of PTSD due to her kidnapping in the previous book in this series, but even though it is mentioned that she should seek counseling, that part of her character is never really explored - an opportunity missed. Overall, however, this is another good story in the Tracers Series.

I’m a big fan of crime shows and I loved Bones so I figured romantic suspense was a pretty good genre for me to look into. I found this and I wasn’t disappointed. I didn’t want to start at the beginning because normally I can tell right away from the blurb which book in a series is going to be my fave so I dove straight in. I really liked Griffin’s writing, I’m looking forward to try out more books from her. Maybe another one in the series? The whole crime was also very interesting as well, no complaints from me.

It's been a while since I shelved a book on my "stupid heroin/hero" shelf, but Sophie, you made it with gusto !
Who never stays put when she's told to ? Who goes out wandering alone at night when there's a killer waiting for her ? Who escapes her protectors when she needs to be protected because she can take care of things on her own (supposedly) ? Who sulks when she did something crazy and has been caught ? Sophie !
And who is stupid enough to fall for a woman like that ? Jonah !
So who can't relate to any of them and longs to slap them in the face ? Me !
Hence the rating...

Didn’t enjoy this one as much as I’ve enjoyed others in this series. I’ll still look forward to new Tracers novels, though.

My favourite so far: Sophie is caught up in a sniper shooting on a college campus. She is convinced that she saw the sniper's accomplice, but no one else even believes the sniper has an accomplice. Then Sophie herself come under attack and Jonah (Ric's partner from previous books) feels compelled to protect her.
Apart from the way absolutely every one has a gun of some sort, I am really enjoying these.
