Publisher's summary

Eden faces a final reckoning when the cult's past victims hunt them down in this explosive, high-stakes thriller in the Sacramento series from New York Times best-selling author Karen Rose.

For decades, Eden has remained hidden in the remote wilds of the Pacific Northwest, “Pastor” keeping his cult's followers in thrall for his personal profit and sexual pleasures. But the Founding Elders are splintering, and Pastor's surrogate son, DJ, is scheming to make it all his own.

When two of Eden's newest members send out a cry for help, it reaches FBI Special Agent Tom Hunter, whose friend and fellow FBI Special Agent Gideon Reynolds and his sister, Mercy, are themselves escapees of the Eden cult, targeted by the Founding Elders who want them silenced forever. The three have vowed to find the cult and bring it down, and now, they finally have a solid lead.

Neutralizing Eden’s threat will save captive members and ensure Tom’s new friends can live without fear. But when his best friend, ex-Army combat medic Liza Barkley, joins the case, it puts her life - and their blossoming love - in danger. With everything they hold dear in the balance, Tom and Liza, together with Gideon and Mercy, must end Eden once and for all.

Critic reviews

"Rose sends out her Sacramento trilogy (after Say No More) with an irresistible, heart-pounding thrill ride.... The twisty plot will keep readers on the edges of their seats as they’re led through a dizzying maze of dangerous situations and even more dangerous villains. Rose has a gift for making readers care deeply about her characters, and she certainly doesn’t disappoint here; Tom and Liza will win readers’ hearts and Hayley steals every scene she’s in. This is a knockout.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“Chock-full of twists and scares, this is spine-chilling and heart-satisfying romantic suspense.” (BookPage)

Nailbiter

The series in its whole has been one that I truly cannot put down. Definitely worthwhile read it’s a series that keeps you on your toes lots of doubt and second guessing.

Say Goodbye

I thought this book was great and the romance story was lovely. Adore the inclusion of the Chicago clan ( Max is one of my favorite characters:) ) I do however wish that in the end more time was given to Mercy and Gid. Their perspective would have wrapped this story up perfectly. Nonetheless, this book is well worth the credit!

Great storyline, disappointed in some pieces

I loved all 3 books. The story anyway. I was so disappointed in how the author made the cops and FBI agents kind of terrible at their jobs. But it did make the story keep going. Great performance in narrating. At the first book "say your sorry", I was so creeped out by the bad guy that I almost stopped listening. My daughter pointed out that he was after all the bad guy. After that it was great to hear how creepy he was. So excellent job to the narrator.

This series and narrator , magic

A fascinating trilogy about a cult. It had suitable good guys and the bad guys were almost too evil. I got tired a the antagonist POV. I admit I skipped ahead. I think this book was my least favorite from the trilogy but Joel the narrator is simply marvelous. I think his female and male voices are excellent. He is a wizard with accents. English American Australian.
