This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I loved the first book in this series and I was eager to get back to Detective Beth Young's story. This is the second book in the series but you could read this as a standalone.

Beth and her team have quite a hard time in this book. Some unexpected events cause the team to be thin on the ground but Beth doesn't let that stop her on her pursuit of whoever committed these heinous crimes. Beth works extremely hard and I couldn't help but feel for her at times in this book.

Graham took us on quite a journey with this book. The story had a few different threads that tie up nicely as the book progresses. The pace was spot on and Graham did an excellent job of revealing things just at the right time, making you realise that the clues were there all along!

It was also interesting to see Beth's personal life and I am really looking forward to seeing that progress in future books along with learning more about Beth's past.

All in all, this was a thrilling edge of your seat story that captured my heart.
