In this fast paced mystery thriller Mary and Amy bring the attention to the world of misogynistic and entitled men, on line haters and cowards. The social media influencers are being punished for their views and people close to them killed. Though crimes are brutal, what scared me the most , was the killer’s ability to find everything about his victims, including their address, security system, schedule etc. How easy it was , for him , to get a large follow up and spread “his message”. It’s all so real in our world of technology and we forget about the dark side often. Thank you for the reminding us and for another well written story and characters. Scary. Lida

slightly disappointed
A lot of repetition. Not enough of Amelia and Zane’s story line. Dropped the ball on the story of Zane’s tattoos and the man searching for him. Disappointing after waiting for the book to come out. Charli Cross’s next book taking too long to be released.

Amelia has a new weird case handed to her and her partners, a person killing and maiming women from the webs.
The women being maimed by acid were the new influencers on the web. The women that encouraged other women to stand up for themselves and make their life better. The gruesome scenes the FBI had to clean up showed the perp was killing a house mate then attacking these women with acid. He was filming his attacks and posting to the internet. They had to catch him as he was escalating his attacks as his success was building.

Good story
Kept me interested to the very end. Another story about a wacked individual. Its so interesting to try to figure out what made a person form into someone living outside what's seemingly normal. But these days, who knows what's normal. Ill tell you this, the criminal in this story is not.

As Amelia Storm, Special FBI Agent, settles into her new department of Violent Crimes Division, she & her partners are dealt with a horrific killer that leaves influencer women victims disfigured with acid. The dark web antagonizes the killer, making it harder to single out the murderer. This book is a whirlwind ride that won't disappoint!

another horrific serial killer
Readable, although the misogynistic serial killer trope had a limited range.
The homicides are only a means to an end; however, the protagonist/perpetrator’s reason for choice of targets living with others wasn’t clear, unless I missed a plot point.

Special Agent, Amelia Storm now works in the Violent Crimes Division of the FBI. She finds herself involved in a gruesome case where the killer disfigures the victim and murders their friends and family. Who is this self righteous person doing the killings and disfiguring the victim? Will Amelia and her team find the killer before anyone else is harmed or killed?
Storm’s Burn shows the psychotic mind of the killer. It has plenty of drama, action and horror to keep you interested until the end of the book.

What happens when you find someone with a positive message for women and think she is taking a place in society away from men and needs to be punished? You get friends and family killed and acid thrown in your face. Amelia and her team are on the heals of this religious fanatic with an ax to grind. Plenty of action in the newest installment of the Amelia Storm series.

Words are often twisted
Those twisted words can lead to pain and suffering and death of innocents. The perpetrator is so positive his beliefs are the right ones! They are often in plain sight but will he be found before more are hurt or innocents end up dead?

Narcissism at its worst
Crazy story about the instability of someone’s mind. It’s very interesting to see the impact of development from childhood, as it unfolds into adulthood. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Head Of The Family
Interesting story. I wondered why the kids in his study class at the church didn't tell their parents what he was preaching. What a horrible thing to do to someone.

A man throws acid on female influencers, and kills anyone in the home with the influencer. A real sicko, and a city on edge. The body count is rising and the FBI is on the case!

proofread
I noticed the killer referencing his father’s life insurance money funding his killing spree but letter he said his father died at home and he buried him in the backyard, minus the head. How can you claim insurance without a death certificate?

Never underestimate the power of good over evil
It was interesting about the criminals justification in choosing his victims. His relationship with his father was a bit disturbing, but fit into his delusions.
