And he’s hunting the one who got away.
In New Orleans, Katherine dared to hope she was finally safe, yet somehow he found her. This time, Katherine won’t just sit silently by; she’ll do anything to stop the monster she once loved, even trust the sexy cop promising to keep her safe.…

"Good Plot - Dumb Heroine"
Hard to say - it's a good plot, but I was pulled out of the story more than once when the main character (Catherine) would do something so stupid you wanted to smack her. The cops aren't far behind her for stupid. Two different times the main characters had ample opportunity to kill the bad guy and didn't. Yikes - stupid!
Maybe
Anyone - really bad male voices.
Yeah - erase it.
Argh - frustrating book. Very annoying.
Listening to books is the way I separate from the stress of being an attorney. I enjoy fiction, mystery thrillers, an occasional romance, and books about cutting edge medicine and science. I was a History major so that is always interesting too.
"Not your average "heart throb" romance..."
Yes, I would make it less predictable.
I was not overly surprised or fooled.
Dane sounded like a werewolf with a two pack a day habit...ease up on the gruff and go more for deep.
More character development. These characters were too pat.
Having taken a "stab" at writing my own serial killer book, it is easy to make the story predictable, and I felt that except for the interjection of the twisted psychiatrist, this one was extremely predictable.
"Predictable"
Sentences like this is typical for the book; "The house smelled like her. Fresh strawberries. Sweet. Heady." You know already from the first chapter what will happen between the two.
This book made me roll my eyes again and again. It's predictable and, in lack of a better word; childish.
I love mysteries & thrillers, sometime love stories..
"Twists & Turns"
This was my 1st audio book & l loved it. It only took my 1 day to listen to it.
Yes, cause you had no idea of when or who was gonna be killed.
This is my 1st time using an audio book & I enjoyed it.
