I liked how much information the reader was able to get in this book seeing as how the series is coming to an end. This has been the most entertaining book in a while and finally we are making headway to the interesting part.

😮 the ending. I don't know that I can say anything without any spoilers. Well, I was right about one thing. Just wrong about the who. Can't wait to see how this all ends.

The books in this series just keep getting better and better. I am so hooked on them! I want to know who the killer is but I don’t want the series to end. I just have to give a shout out because I think the author did a masterful job of writing such a brilliant plot.

Oh heavens!!! This series has driven me quietly mad over the year. I NEVER, EVER read or even watch series lol I hate cliffhangers but I only read these as they are so well written. I am just about desperate to find out who Raven is now?? I have my suspicion and if it is then OM Gosh!I love puzzles and this has been one fabulous puzzle conjured up for us by the best selling authors, Ali Parker and Lexy Timms, writing as W.L. Knightly. Over the months we have been taken through different scenarios and characters that have been so well developed and so many secrets and have been kept engrossed in the stories. I do not think you could read this book as a standalone as you really do need the information from the others to understand fully what is going on and in trying to solve the problem for yourself. Brilliantly composed that I am still on the edge of my seat after all these months and I'm more excited to find out all who were in on the murders than I was at the beginning. The twists and turns are perfectly balanced. I confess that once we have the final book that I will be re-reading them all one after the other to enjoy them again. Anxiously waiting to see if I've reached the correct conclusion about raven's identity in the next book!!! I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most definitely recommended!!

I'm FRICKEN Hoooked!
The endless flow of wicked twists has kept me banging my head and shouting WTF!..You get me all worked up excitement blazing through my veins and you leave me hanging screaming for a release of a few more words pleading to a blank page searching for more typed out words that refuse to grant me a desperate relief from 12 chaotic cliffhangers that continue to play havoc on my mind but with fingers crossed catching my breath and finding my bearings as more clues keep bouncing around in my head I believe I picked up on in #8 Cancer up to this frenzied cliffhanger I've got my finger pointed at a brazen beauty but only patience and want for more words to come as swiftly as possible to release the haunting hold and put me out of my misery will be worth the wait I know I must endure to get to the end of this scheming conniving brilliantly written series with my dignity intact and a few nails left on my fingers it so worth every suspense plaguing word! An absolute mind boggling must read that once it sinks its claws in you you'll be trapped to the very end! I LOVED IT!

Whew! The wild ride continues. There are only a few Zodiacs left. Bay is the Scorpio. Nonna is dead, Mia is missing, Lila is coming home and Rose Marie has a “feeling”. While I did see part of this coming, there are still some new surprises in this story.
Darek continues to work with Lizzy and they go back over what they know and add a few new pieces to the puzzle. You can almost see where it’s heading but until it gets there I won’t believe it.
This has been the most twisty convoluted series. I’ll be glad to see how it ends but at this point there are still a lot of unanswered questions. You MUST read these in order to appreciate the full effect of just how tangled a web Ali and Lexy have woven.
Highly recommended. This story rolls along with suspense and tension as we get a few new pieces of information without knowing how it will end. The characters we have left aren’t perfect human beings and both Darek and Lizzy are hiding things that could change their future (if they have one). (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

The Surprises Just Keep Coming !!!!
Hang on to your seats for one hell of a ride from the dynamic duo of Ali Parker and Lexy Timms. The plot thickens to the point you are almost immovable with the surprises that pop up out of the blue. Darek, Bay and Lane are retracing info looking for something they possibly missed to find who is helping the killer that's destroying their lives. They are all on eggshells with the possibility of their past coming to light so they invent a lie to protect themselves. Nonna is dead, Mia is missing, Lila is on her way home and there are more nail bitting surprises in store. This series will blow you away with the secrets, lies, suspense, action and characters that will pull you into their lives without a blink of an eye. Must read in order according to the Zodiac signs. Hate to see the end coming but soooo wanting to know if I got something else right.

I cannot wait to get the last book! ...Maybe...
** Huge Exasperated Sighs **
What a crazy ride this series has been!
A sexy, thrilling whirlwind full of dark, twisted mystery and intrigue, blurring the lines of redemption, sympathy for the characters, and what's right and wrong.
GAH! I swear I have had a feeling who is a part of the high body count since the very beginning.. I want to know if I am right badly, but then on the other hand it will mean this crazy train will be over, and I won't have this storyline to agonize theories over anymore. ( A terrible conflict to have I know )
Amazingly well written with excellent characters, I highly recommend this series!

I’ve loved this series every step of the way! It has kept me interested not to mention intrigued! I’ve had my theories on not only the killer but why as I’ve read each book. Many have become a dead end and some of my alleged killers are no longer living! I did have a thought early on that has finally come to fruition! Well at least I think it has to be certain I need to read Sagittarius which ironically is my own star sign. There have been plenty of twists and turns and change ups to keep ones attention! This one reveals an awful lot of information if you pay attention. The sting of the Scorpion is truly felt with the brutal murders in this book. The message has been received loud and clear that no one is safe! I do have a lingering question and that is what was Bay’s secret!

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the 12th book in the Zodiac Killer Series. In this book, we learn that Mia is still missing and Max in custody, they are trying to find out if someone is working with Max. Bay has to tell his wife that Mia is missing and it could be harmful to her pregnancy. Darek is scared Max will reveal all of his secrets. Lane is dealing with the murder of Nona and wants to get home and back to normal. This series keeps me guessing and wondering who the killer is. Just when i think i know, another twist comes. I think i know who it is, but i know there will be more twists. I am addicted to this series and can't stop reading each book. I can't wait for the next book to see who dies next and what new theory i will have. Great series.

This series is just fantastically written with marvellous characters and so many plot twists.
Scorpio picks up at the end of Libra, with the investigation into a missing person of interest to the characters. Derek and Lizzy are investing the murders, and make a few significant developments with their prime suspect.
I can’t recall how many times I’ve changed my mind about who I believe is the murderer. Just seems that the more the series progresses, the more plot twists which develop, I’m being lead further down the rabbit hole. I absolutely love this series, and it will be bittersweet when it finishes.
Well written and with great characters, it’s definitely worth reading.

I devoured this book in far less time than it should have taken to read it. The plot thickens, the net tightens, and the spider at the center of the web is waiting for just the right moment. That ending kills me. It tantalizes with the briefest suggestion of a clue and then closes out the book. At this point, I have all kinds of theories, but I suspect that there’s not a one that’s even close to being right. I’m willing to give my eye-teeth for a mystery that I can’t outthink, and this series has my brain turned completely inside out. I’m absolutely dying for Sagittarius now.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. What an amazingly crazy ride we have been taken on with this series and it just keep getting better, more twisty, more questions, the not knowing and the part of you who thinks they know who is behind all the bloodshed. So much has happened, and Bay may have just figured out a huge piece to the puzzle. We are coming to a head with this series and I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself when it’s over, so I wait on the edge of my seat waiting to know if I’m right or just completely off track on who the killer really is. Loved it, couldn’t put this book down and if you haven’t started this series, what are you waiting for?
November 27, 2018
I absolutely loved this book. It moved at a steady with some important information being revealed such as the motive behind the killings.
I had an inkling as to who it may be several books ago and after reading this book, I am 100% sure as to the culprit.
We will see in the next and final book whether I am right or not.
The book was very gruesome and reminded me of the saw films franchise.
I cannot wait for the next and final book to see what happens now that Bay has come across some vital information.
I really hope the wait isn't too long as the wait will be agonising.

Always so tense and exciting
Spoiler volume 11
Still as well written with a tension that is tightening around the group of Zodiac because they are only 3 now and Mia, the sub of Bay has disappeared. A good part of the story is about this disappearance. The relationship between the characters, the culprit of previous killings who knows where Mia is, and Lizzy who plays hot and cold with Darek, increase the suspense. The elements contradict one another, until giving more elements on the role of each one.
An extremely important new information is added about the suspects.

The Mouse is being lead through the trap...
The Zodiac Killer is behind bars, but things are still happening. Does the killer have a partner in crime?
Who is this partner - and will he/she continue to kill on their own?
Scorpio is full of high rising tempers and anger is quick to flair. Will the cold as steel leader Bay Collins crack? Can he cope and will he make it through this alive? Only three Zodiac's are left, and it's become personal for Bay.
Excellent story line keeps you turning pages. Strong character development has you guessing at who is behind all of this, and who's partners with Max.....

OMG this series is literally driving me crazy! Every time I think I’ve figured out the plot there is another twist and the intricacies in the whole storyline, the Depth in the characters and the twists and turns are just astounding and outstanding to be honest. I’ve not read a series for a very long time that has kept me guessing so much and kept me hooked just as long. I received an arc copy of this book and I’m leaving my honest review. What a brilliantly written series, it’s getting harder to be too specific in the feedback without giving something away to those who aren’t as far through the books but it’s a definite must read. Can’t wait for the next book!!
November 29, 2018
The end of this series is near, and I can't wait for it!
So, my suspicions from book 10 were proven to be correct, and I'm pretty sure - according to what I suspect both Lane & Bay discovered in this installment - I'll be right again. I suspected this person since book 1. But, I have to admit, this series is one helluva mind-f&¢k. I truly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who loves their mysteries tangled, thrilling & complicated.

Zodiac Killers Book 12 - Scorpio is a fascinating read. The whole Series has been a pleasure to read and try to deuce who the killer/killers maybe. We have one suspect in jail but the that has not been a detriment to the killing spree. I can not wait for the final book to be released and to know just how this murder(s) mystery series ends. Well worth the time, money and intrigue to read. W. L. Knightly has written a well thought out story line that has kept me guessing who the killer is and there is more to be explored in the final book. Well Done!

I am glad we are getting to the end of this series. Basically, if you like the person they will die. On the other hand, the ones you really can't stand continue to live. This book is primarily about Bay, who is a real piece of work. More hints are dropped about who is working with Max. I guess we will find out in the next book.

Wow , I almost had the name of the Zodiac Killer and Scorpio had to end . Darn it !!
I cant believe only One more book and this Dark and Twisted ,Suspense filled series comes to an end . This has been the best murder mystery I've read in a while . The authors kept me on the edge of my seat in anticipation .Guessing every step of the bloody way as to who the killer really is . Even though I think I might have a hunch.

WOW! This story just keeps getting more and more interesting and intertwined.. This is book 12 in a series that must be read in order
Bay and Darek are doing all they can to get answers. When Mia is now missing Bay is frantic and when days go by with nothing they know the worst.. As more clues unravel they know one person behind the killings but who is helping them?
Just when you think you have a clue you have no idea.. So looking forward to seeing if my gut is right but ...

Phenomenal, murder/mystery read that is fast-paced, action-packed with excellent character development and storyline. It is next to impossible not to become addicted to this marvellous series. Each cliffhanger adds more suspense, more theories as to who is the culprit. Oh, My...do not overlook this series. If you love suspense/thrillers, this is a surefire entertaining addition to your library. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

Omg I can’t wait for the final book but at the same time, I don’t want this series to end!
I devoured this one in one sitting and I’m glad my theory about killers seems to be correct. As always, there were lots of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This whole series has been one crazy ride and I gladly recommend it to everyone. I’ll definitely reread all of the previous books while waiting for the final book!

Provided with a free ARC for an honest review. Whoa. What a great installment in this series, but very difficult to review without giving too much away. Suffice it to say that Bay is still despicable, Darek is still smitten with Lizzie, and much still needs to be revealed. Bodies are still dropping in really sadistic ways. And of course the inevitable cliffhanger. Can't wait for the next book, possibly the last? This series is well worth the considerable amount of time invested.
November 24, 2018
OMG, things are really hotting up in this series and ready for the last book. The final piece of the puzzle has been discovered and Bay knows who the partner in crime is. I’m beyond excited for the last book because I’m dying to know who it is and if my suspicion are right. I definitely recommend this series it’s amazing and has me on the edge of my seat

What can I say, I don’t want to spoiler anything to anyone so I’ll leave just a little piece of advice: start reading this series from book 1!

Actual pages 266 - 5/5 stars!!! OH DAMN this was probably the best one yet! I knew max had to be in on it, however didn’t realize he’d be the son of the falsely accused! Crazy, I still think it’s Max and Lizzy as the masterminds behind it all and raven is just collateral damage tbh but we will see!! Onto the last book of the series, honestly should make this into a show ngl

OMG! This series is getting better and better with every installment! We're so close to finding the killer and I really hope I'm right as to who it is. I have two people in mind and hopefully there's not another twist that I don't see coming.
