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 letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book via netgalley. I have been following DC Beth Young since her first book. This may be the third but you could probably read this as a standalone.

In this third instalment, Beth is growing in confidence and really shows her intellect in this book. After James Sinclair is brutally attacked Beth and the rest of FMIT have quite the case on their hands.

There were one or two things that seemed really obvious to me but it took the team a long time to even consider them as an option. The majority of the book was full of twists and turns and one I didn't see coming until it was essentially revealed. Graham does a good job of keeping the reader on their toes

I loved that some of the chapters were from the killers POV. It was very interesting to see their side of things. This killer was extremely clever and extremely skilled. I can't say much more without ruining the story for you but I was impressed by the killer's skills.

I also really enjoyed the personal aspects of the story. Beth's determination to trace those that scarred her face is strong but not outside the law. Beth is not prepared to risk her career for her own revenge which really speaks to Beth's character. I can't wait to see where this story goes next.
