My thoughts: This is the first book I have read by Lisa Phillips, though she has been on my Kindle TBR list for a while now! I enjoyed the fast paced of this story and that the events of the story keeps the reader on their toes, as more and more things accumulate to make the FBI wonder what is really going on and who to pin the blame on for the murders that point to Kenna. I wish that we weren't in Kenna's head quite so much, since she comes across as a little paranoid that the FBI wants to pin the murders on her without really saying why she thinks that. Her past comes out a little bit at a time, making one realize why she has become who she is.
While the story is suspenseful and full of twists and turns, it was a little bit grittier than what I usually read. The serial killer who goes after young girls really bothered me. It's also pretty disturbing what happened to Kenna when she was in the FBI. I'm a lightweight when it comes to mysteries though, but I can still say that, for the most part, the author handled things well and didn't go into a lot of details.
I look forward to reading more books by the author!
I received this book from Just Read tours. This is my honest review.
