Dragonfly
On the nights when 22-year-old Jessica Parker dreams, she relives one hellish memory—the day she was viciously raped in the woods by a man with a dragonfly tattoo. She wakes up feeling like the helpless child she used to be, and sinks back into her day-to-day life with her jaded mother, her mother’s live-in boyfriend and drug-dealer, Arnie, and her young sister, Rachel. Life seems stable enough for a while, and she almost believes that she can achieve some semblance of normality. That is until she catches word from Detective Sam Hayden that the monster that shattered her life has been released from prison.
Jessica is asked to relive her nightmarish ordeal again in order to help Hayden unravel an underground network of child sex-slave trafficking known as Dragonfly. This network hides the face of a serial killer he’s been hunting for ten years, and Jessica may hold the key to finding his identity. Together they follow every lead and struggle to unveil the dragonflies hidden among them behind the guise of neighbors, friendly strangers—even officers of the law—before another victim vanishes in a web that leaves no trace behind.
Contains Adult Content.

I've never heard of this author until I signed up to read a review of Dragonfly for a blog tour. I'm glad I did.
If your looking for a nice romantic story then don't read this. If your looking for a gut wrenching, angsty, superbly written story then this is it.
This is not a topic I normally read about. Maybe because as much as we don't like to believe it, stories like this happen in real life.
I'm not going to say this is a lovely story with a happy ending because it's not. Sometimes life isn't that good to people.
Having said that, this story is a fantastic piece of writing that had me glued to my kindle all day until I finished it.
If your not of the faint hearted and can read graphic details of rape then I recommend this read to you. It is certainly a book that will stay with me for a long time.

Loved it!
This book never slowed down, with more thrills and action than I've seen in a long time. I hope to read more about Jessica Parker in the future.
