4.25/5 stars. Thank you to Ms. Choudhary, the publisher, and Netgalley for the ALC!
I really enjoyed the start of this series. Zoe Storm is a strong character who has a dark childhood. This has led her to her career in the FBI, working the hard cases. And the case she and her temporary partner, Dr. Aiden Wesley, get called to is one of the darker ones. A child has been found dead with a sign that more are to come...
The main plot of the story was very intriguing. We hop around to a few characters, mainly Scott (the lead detective) and Zoe, with the majority being Zoe. There are some time skips throughout that may be a little difficult to determine in the audiobook, but I think the narrator does an excellent job in trying to differentiate. There were some twists and turns in this novel that I didn't see coming and I always appreciate that in a mystery!
Ms. Choudhary leaves just enough of a breadcrumb trail in a subplot following Zoe's past that I need to follow. So you can consider me a subscriber to this series!
