5.0 out of 5 stars I am not going to sleep tonight

I read this book in a single sitting and am still shocked at the enormous twists Blake Pierce has put into this book. I love Zoe, this character is absolutely unique. She has a talent (or perhaps a curse)- she sees numbers and patterns everywhere. While it helps her as an FBI agent, it tortures her and keeps her apart from other people. When she meets someone she instantly knows how tall they are, what they weigh, the symmetry of their face, their shoe size, every little thing about them.When she walks into a room she knows exactly how many magazines are on the table, how many bottles, glasses there are in a cupboard- the numbers haunt her. Her childhood haunts her, with an abusive mother who tried to beat the numbers out of her. It has taken a therapist to help her control it so she can start to live a more normal life and Zoe is beginning to have friends and even starting a relationship with John.
Then she and her partner Shelley need to travel back to Zoe's home town area for a case. She confronts her family and then concentrates on solving a series of horrific murders of young women.
There are huge twists in the book- one of which had me so emotionally shocked, I had to stop reading for a few minutes just to pull myself together. I read the rest as fast as I could. It is not a real spoiler to say Zoe solves the case, but at tremendous personal cost, and not without another incredible twist.
This is a book that will stay with you for a long time.
Fans of this series will be unhappy to know the next book won't be out for six months. But it will be worth waiting for. Thank you Blake Pierce for an incredible book that shocked the hell out of me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical murder mystery

Zoe Prime is an interesting character and one that is evolving as the series moves along. To really appreciate this character, it is best to read the books in order.
Zoe has a unusual disorder/gift-- she sees the world around her in numbers. She has spent her lifetime hiding this ability during in part to a tormented childhood. But thanks to 3 individuals: her mentor, her therapist, and her partner, Zoe is beginning to feel like she has a chance for a more normal life. The numbers are under control and she is in a promising relationship. But then a new case draws her back into the past and a serial killer brings her more heartache than she ever expected.
This was a sad and difficult episode in the Zoe Prime universe. It makes me wonder what is next for this interesting character. This is definitely a series that is full of surprises.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good addition to the series
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020

The 1st three books in this series were very good. Interesting characters and a truly different and fascinating protagonist. This book suffers from a number of problems. There is always a willing suspension of disbelief when it comes to fiction. In this case the situations are so ridiculous that it is impossible to accept the plot. If FBI agents acted like the ones in this book innocent people would be arrested constantly and real serial killers would wander the country with impunity. Without giving spoilers lets just say that the ending that is supposed to explain the motive is ridiculous and convoluted. In a case like this I have to wonder what happened to the editors. If you are going to read the whole series (and I'm not sure about going into this any further), you have to read this book. Keep your expectations low.

5.0 out of 5 stars A riveting thriller!

Zoe's life seems to be reaching normalcy as she has discovered in Shelley a great partner and a friend. But going back to a city very near to where she was from, in Nebraska, unveils open wounds and breaks open new ones. This story is action packed and has a surprising ending. Zoe is left alone, broken hearted and empty. Hopefully in the next book her personal history will be moving upwards again.
This is a great thriller, entertaining and easy to ready (in spite of the gruesome crimes!).

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I love Zoe. She has an awesome talent that the world should know about. Just as she starts to let her guard down an have friends and an actual boyfriend, her life, career, and everything she's started to care about is in jeopardy of falling apart. I wasn't expecting the twist Blake put in this one an I feel defeated. I hope Zoe can pull it together before its too late.

I love the Zoe Prime series. But this one pulled the proverbial rug out from underneath me. The hunt, the plot twists, the ending... Blake’s writing always leaves you wanting more. But I am now desperately waiting for January 2021! Brilliant!
