Crime reporter Mari Alvarez was ready to put her past behind her and live her life. That is, until a killer, Hanks, that everyone thought was deceased, contacts her. Now he’s determined to go after her and everyone she loves. But it won’t be so easy for her to find him – he wants revenge and he’s hiding in plain sight. It starts at the pirate festival and continues through other events. Between making her a hero and then making her a villain, he proves that he can control her job and her reputation. Unless she comes up with a plan to catch him, he could take everyone she loves.
Right from the beginning, this book is action packed with a lot of suspense. I absolutely love Mari. She’s fearless, strong, intelligent, and caring. She stops at nothing to make sure that those she loves are safe. She puts herself in danger for the greater good. She also can be vulnerable too. She is just a very well rounded character, easily likeable, easy to root for, and just very well written.
I really liked the cat and mouse of this story as well. Hanks plays the game very well. He is coy and cunning. He always has a way to let her know that he’s close by without being seen. He had a way luring Mari out to these public events even though she knew something bad was going to happen. It felt like he was going to always continuously outsmart her.
There wasn’t a dull moment in this book. And just when you think that you have it all figured out, how Mari was going to catch Hanks, there is a wrench in her plans, a twist, that is going to change everything. It was really good!!! So thriller lovers, get your hands on this book today!
