📖 Maidens of the Cave by: Lloyd Devereux Richards | 📅 Pub Day: OUT NOW!!!(Tuesday August 1, 2023 )

Lloyd Devereux Richards has done it again! This sophomore novel in the series is a completely immersive thriller suspense book that reads like an episode of Criminal Minds with a sprinkle of Silence of the Lambs! 

Head strong FBI agent and forensic anthropologist, Christine Prusik, is back again looking for the cause of a series of different horrifyingly curated homicides (young college aged women’s bodies start showing up in isolated caves on hiking trails). She races against time, and her superiors, wondering if she’ll be able to find the culprit (or culprits?!) before they strike again OR WORSE.

I absolutely loved this book! It was a refreshing far cry from other FBI agent books that I’ve read in the past that come off as boring and monotonous. I hope there are many more books in this series and/or by this author to come, OR maybe even a film or tv show adaptation because I’m HOOKED!!!

5.00⭐️ 

Special thanks to @netgalley @morrowbooks and @stonemaidens for the eARC and @morrowbooks for the physical ARC copy in exchange for my honest review!
