'Make sure you have nothing else to do when starting this book. You will NOT be able to put it down!!' Reader Review
The parents are dead. The girls are hiding. The killer is still inside the house.
Gabriel Kensington and his wife Lydia have been brutally slain in their luxurious home in New Mexico. A frantic, whispered phone call from their teenage daughter Addis, and her best friend Emerson, quickly alerts the authorities to the killings.
But when detective Alyssa Wyatt and the squad appear at the house, the unthinkable has happened. The girls are nowhere to be found and neither is the killer.
In a race against time, it's up to Alyssa Wyatt and her partner Cord to find the missing girls and discover just why the Kensingtons have been targeted.
Because for Addis and Emerson, every minute passing could be the difference between survival or an unthinkable death.
The addictive, absolutely nail-biting new Alyssa Wyatt detective novel will have fans of Kendra Elliot, Melinda Leigh, or Angela Marsons on the edge of their seat.

So far, this is my least favorite of this series. Still 3⭐️, though.
The twist didn’t come until the end and I actually didn’t see it coming, but the story didn’t hook me like the other two did. I’m not going to fault the author though, because I’m not series reader usually, and I’m thinking that reading them back-to-back caused a little bit of boredom on my part.
Other reviewers have said the 4th book is their favorite, so I’m thinking I might go ahead and read that one and then take a break from Alyssa Wyatt and her team. I almost feel like I’ve watched too many episodes of SVU on a weekend marathon right now, but also like I want to watch the last episode before I change the channel.
