A new spine-tingling thriller from the bestselling master of edge-of-your-seat stories.
When Casey Duncan first arrived at Rockton, the off-the-grid, isolated community built as a haven for people running from their pasts, she had no idea what to expect. There are no cell phones, no internet, no mail and no way of getting in or out without the town council's approval. She certainly didn't expect to become the town homicide detective. But, the very last thing she expected was for the council to drop a dangerous criminal into their midst without a plan to keep him imprisoned. And she never thought that she'd have to be responsible for him.
The longer Oliver Brady stays in town, the more people seem to die around him. When evidence begins piling up that someone inside Rockton is working as his accomplice, Casey races to figure out who exactly Brady is and what crimes he's truly responsible for committing.
With dangerous secrets and heart-stopping twists, This Fallen Prey is Kelley Armstrong's most gripping thriller yet.
I'm not gonna lie, I kept my expectations a little lower for this book because I tend to have issues with books in the middle of the series. They need to be there but they don't usually have as much action as I like. Maybe this method worked for me because I really enjoyed reading This Fallen Prey. It helps that I love Casey and Dalton (and not so little Storm).
The plot moved at a fairly fast pace and there was a lot going on so there was never a point where I was bored. I was trying to put all the pieces together near the end and was surprised to see how wrong I was. A lot did happen in the last few chapters though so it took some time for my brain to figure it all out. There was one sub-plot surrounding a little girl that I'm still a little confused about but it was far from bad. I'm also getting a little tired of the counsel threatening Dalton but I know that part is a set up for the next books for sure. Besides that, the plot moved along until the very end.
I was a little disappointed that we didn't seem to get as much Casey and Dalton time in this book. I mean there was a crazy thrill-killer on the loose so it makes sense, but my favourite part of this series is the relationship between Casey and Dalton. I always have so much fun reading about them. Storm was wonderful as always and I'm really happy we're seeing her grow up!
