The first in a planned series and what a way to hit home! This book had me addicted, from the chapter headers to the past to learn more about Marcy and her past.
Every good cop series, they have a backstory and I’ve not read one quite like this before. More revelations at the end of the book make you wonder what the hell happened. Short answer, not a lot of good things!!
For a short while, I was by Marcy’s side while her partner Angel was laid up following a car accident. We were hunting for a man copying the face flayer from Marcy’s past and boy this killer didn’t hold back. From the victims to the every day and the final, you are kept addicted to this novel as we manoeuvre about.
But Marcy has another problem, well 2! Her ex-husband is her boss and her brother has gone missing…. At the wrong time.
This is exciting and addictive and I can’t wait for the next installment?!! Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I devoured it!!
Until the next time xxx
