In this action-packed mystery thriller by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, Cora Shields, 30, former Navy Seal turned FBI Special Agent, is fired from the FBI for breaking one rule too many. But when a former friend-turned-prostitute comes to Cora for help, swearing that neglected prostitutes are being abducted by serial killers, Cora cannot turn a blind eye—and finds herself in the race of her life to save a woman from a killer’s hands before it’s too late.

On the outside, Cora Shields is a total badass. A Navy SEAL veteran and a top agent in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, Cora has a reputation for doing whatever it takes to catch a killer. What no one knows, though, is that she’s a wreck on the inside, addicted to painkillers and deeply depressed.

Sometimes, cases need to be pursued outside the law.

With no backup, Cora is finally free to act, to bend as many rules as she needs to, at any cost, to bring killers down.

She has found her new calling.

But will it also be her undoing?

I enjoyed this one! Shows the love sisters have for one another. Loved how brave and smart Cora was and loved how she'd do anything to figure out what happened to her sister. Blake Pierce has a wonderful way with writing, his books truly keep you reeled in and are full of suspense! Wonderful quick read!

This book needed to be read because it is part of the series. I like the main characters. The killer felt alittle off and the ending felt rushed. Would be nice if the villians and killers had a little more depth to them. It honestly took me longer to read this book as I would fall asleep and not remember what happened. Only 2 more books in this series, I have to continue. I have to know about the sister and what happened to her. I hope they do explain it in the ending.
