Great read and AWESOME narration..
I was a little worried when I first started reading this book, afraid the killer’s descriptions of his kills would be too much for me. I like books about serial killers but I don’t want to know how they kill their victims. Not to worry, there wasn’t much gross stuff you have to read.
I was curious about Jack. The author made it sound like Jack was going to turn into something other than a human, like this was going to be a shifter book, but that didn’t happen. Even at the end of the book I’m still not sure what Olivia saw in him when he showed up to save her. That description was kind of left up in the air. I know when he went into the forest and took the pills to get into the killer’s head it was as if he could see and hear what was going on with the killer and all his senses heightened but he didn’t turn into anything, like he kept saying he did. I didn’t get that, at all.
But, it really was a good book and although it was book 2 in the series it was definitely a stand-alone. The first book was about Slater and Kate but Kate wasn’t in this story for even a minute, she was off on some assignment. And Bill Gant, Olivia’s ex was such a creep and I hope someday he gets what’s coming to him. Vargas and Santos were horrible human beings but the next book is about them so I’m guessing they’ll get theirs, and it appears Torres, from this book, will be the one to get them. I started out liking Warren but at the end he was a jerk.
There was no sexual tension in the book but there was a long delayed love story that was wonderful, 17 years in the waiting. And there were a couple of explicit sex scenes.
There was swearing and the F-bomb was released 14 times.
As to the narrator: Wow! Where to begin? He was fantastic. He really, really laughed, whispered when it called for it and sometimes when it didn’t and you just knew it should have been there, snorted, murmured, muttered, yelled, any emotion and it was there. I had never listened to Sebastian Fields before but he was the best narrator I’ve ever listened to, male or female. I will definitely be looking to see what else he’s narrated.
