This second novel in the Cainsville series brings us back to our favourite investigative duo, controversial heiress Olivia Jones-Taylor and surly lawyer Gabriel Walsh. I enjoyed this more than the first novel; most of the scene-setting had already been done and we could jump right into the story.
When Olivia finds the body of a missing Cainsville woman dressed up to look like her, it appears to be some kind of warning or threat. Even more mysteriously, the cadaver then goes missing from police custody. While investigating the woman's death, Olivia and Gabriel also start to uncover the truth about Cainsville and its mysterious, influential elders.
While I'm not usually a romance girlie, I love how Olivia and Ricky's relationship is simultaneously cosy and also incredibly hot! Biker heir who's also so soft for his girl? Yes. I'm very glad that they aren't going down the "I can fix him" path with Gabriel, because that would be far too cliched. We are seeing some solid character growth where Gabriel has to fix himself and learn to open up to people, so we'll see how that progresses.
I'm thoroughly hooked on this series and can't wait to read the next novel! I want to find out everything about this strange little town and its inhabitants, and how Olivia, Gabriel and Ricky tie into all of its mysteries. On to the next one!
