FBI agent Evan's life has been upended more than once. Even though she hasn't been home in years, when her sister's twins need her, she comes running. Because that's what family does, even if it threatens to reveal the secrets she hid so long ago. Home is supposed to be where the heart is, and local cop Max had been that for Evan, nearly twenty years ago. Before she ghosted him and buried everything they had. Now Evan and Max are working the Huntsman case, where a serial killer is targeting young women - like the twins. It's hitting close to home and if they don't share their secrets, they might lose everything.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I resonated with the main character Evan in a bonding way.
I loved how the author created such a strong character, but she wasn't an overbearing "I am a woman hear me road" kind of way that made you go, okay, don't overplay the role.
The storyline was interesting and pulled me in. What started in tragedy kept building to the end and allowed me to understand so much about why the character had the undying strength to endure what Evan did.
When the author brought in the support character of Max, I was like, SWOON!
Every detail brought into this book was essential to the plot and made it more alive.
I appreciated the little dashes inside the killer's mind, but not so much that it made me cringe because, let's face it, sometimes going inside a killer's mind may be too much.
This author hit on everything for me, and I will be reading more of their work because it is vivid and alive and kept me wanting to know so much more until the end.
3/5 STARS! This was a good crime thriller about a serial killer on the loose & an fbi agent dealing with family issues. I enjoyed the plot & characters. It’s an easy read & perfect for true crime fanatics. I’d definitely read a sequel if there was a book 2. Audiobook was okay, not the best narrated tbh.
