This book was good & had a good twist as usual but I feel the Jessie Hunt story is getting a little tiresome now. Always a serial killer and always has to be someone else plotting to hurt Jessie and her close family & friends.

Give them a break!

The series has done its time and should be wrapped up. It’s stale and predictable.
