Summary

He surfaced two years ago. Then he disappeared.

But Detective Angie Pallorino hasn't forgotten the violent rapist who left a distinctive calling card—crosses etched into the flesh of his victim's foreheads. When a comatose Jane Doe is found in a local cemetery, sexually assaulted, mutilated, and nearly drowned, Angie is struck by the eerie similarities to her earlier unsolved rapes. Could he be back?

Then the body of a drowned young woman, also bearing the marks of the serial rapist, floats up in the Gorge, and the hunt for a predator becomes a hunt for a killer. Assigned to the joint investigative task force, Angie is more than ready to prove that she has what it takes to break into the all-male homicide division. But her private life collides with her professional ambitions when she's introduced to her temporary partner, James Maddocks—a man she'd met just the night before in an intense, anonymous encounter.

Together, Angie and Maddocks agree to put that night behind them. But as their search for the killer intensifies, so does their mutual desire. And Angie's forays into the mind of a monster shake loose some unsettling secrets about her own past. How can she fight for the truth when it turns out her whole life is a lie?

The Best Book I’ve read in a very long time!

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that stirs so many emotions, tense, edge of your seat thriller that actually made me say eew out loud at the graphic details of the crimes.
I was gripped from the first page!
My first book read by this scarily talented author, I can’t wait to get into her next book, I think!

Too mucky for me...

I found the sex text too much, they distract from the overall story and I couldn't listen to the whole book.

cannot decide what it wants to be

This book simply cannot decide what it wants to be - a crime thriller, erotica, horror... The sex scenes are cringingly bad not because they are bad in itself but because they are not written in a way that draws the reader in and thus just disturb the flow. The characters are flat and it all makes the story a little confusing and meh.
