Now Agent Young vows to protect Lei at all costs. If they have any chance of a future together, first they have to stay alive…
Review:
This isn’t a romance. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Katee Robert and have only read her romances, so I came into this one a little blinkered. I didn’t even realise this was third in a series about FBI agents and serial killers until I started writing this review.
This isn’t a romance, but there is a romance in it. In the context of the book, it’s a highly inconvenient case of insta-lust that distracts the leads and jeopardises their very survival in a tense game of cat and mouse with a shadow from the past.
This isn’t a romance. It’s the story of two girls (one in particular) who survived a mass murder, whose safely-constructed lives threaten to fall apart when a copycat killer strikes close to home. It’s also the story of the FBI agents (one in particular) who must catch the killer before his dealy endgame.
This is a tightly plotted, tense, and thrilling novel about guilt, blame, and what it means to survive. I couldn’t put it down and loved every twist and turn. My only gripes are a) most of the characters felt like they had only rough outlines of a backstory and b) that there wasn’t enough of the dogs, because dogs are awesome.
Four and a half surviving stars
