About this audiobook
He surfaced two years ago. Then he disappeared.
But Detective Angie Pallorino hasn’t forgotten the violent rapist who left a distinctive calling card—crosses etched into the flesh of his victims’ foreheads. When a comatose Jane Doe is found in a local cemetery, sexually assaulted, mutilated, and nearly drowned, Angie is struck by the eerie similarities to her earlier unsolved rapes. Could he be back?
Then the body of a drowned young woman, also bearing the marks of the serial rapist, floats up in the Gorge, and the hunt for a predator becomes a hunt for a killer. Assigned to the joint investigative task force, Angie is more than ready to prove that she has what it takes to break into the all-male homicide division. But her private life collides with her professional ambitions when she’s introduced to her temporary partner, James Maddocks—a man she’d met just the night before in an intense, anonymous encounter.
Together, Angie and Maddocks agree to put that night behind them. But as their search for the killer intensifies, so does their mutual desire. And Angie’s forays into the mind of a monster shake loose some unsettling secrets about her own past. How can she fight for the truth when it turns out her whole life is a lie?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loreth Anne White has now been added to my favourite author list :) Loved the characters, the storyline, the plots, it all blends so smoothly. I also really enjoyed the narrator Julie McKay! She was perfect for male and female characters without sounding cheesy, and easily switches from one voice to another with subtle changes which bring a character to life!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I just loved this book. This author is a new author for me. I will be reading more of her books. It is very well written. It is a very dark, gritty, and twisty thriller. It kept me on the
edge of my seat. The intrigue kept me on my toes the entire time and even if I had many pieces of the puzzle, I couldn’t figure out how exactly they connected to make the whole picture. There were several storylines in this book and, in my opinion, there were all captivating. I just couldn't stop reading it. It was so suspenseful and a great turn-pager.
The author did a great job in the character development of the characters, and a serial killer that you couldn't figure out who they were till the end. I can't even begin to describe how much I loved Angie. She is very brave and smart. She acts impulsively with her anger issues and wants to have control. She and her partner, Maddox make a great pair of detectives. Each dealing with their own issues, they're both very interesting. I enjoyed following with them as they followed the clues to track down one of the scariest sexual predators.
Detective James Maddocks has picked up his life and moved to be closer to his daughter, Ginny. James and Angie meet under some very unusual circumstances. When they learn who the other is, it comes as quite a shock. There is a killer on the prey and Angie is determined to catch this freak who is torturing and killing young teenagers. Little does she know, this case goes far deeper than she ever could have imagined.
I just loved the ending in this book. It was so good. When I got close to the end I was in awe. It was a five-star ending to me. I loved every minute of it. I hope I do not have to wait long to read book two. I can't wait to read it.1 person found this helpful
