Publisher's Summary

She wakes suddenly. Dawn is still hours away, but through the window of her log cabin in the woods, something moves in the distance. A lone figure in the forest. Her blood runs cold as the shadow begins to walk slowly toward her....

It’s Halloween in Black Rock Falls, and Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy, David Kane, are called to a small lodge on the outskirts of town. Jenna is devastated to find the lifeless body of Willow Smith, a military widow whose husband went missing in action and has been presumed dead for years. Her breath catches in her throat when she notices the heart-shaped purple medal on Willow’s pale chest. Was Willow clinging to it when she died, or was it placed there after she took her last breath?

Desperately chasing down every lead, Jenna hears that Willow had been receiving silent phone calls in the dead of night. Witnesses say Willow thought her missing husband was trying to make contact. Wishful thinking of a lonely wife consumed with grief, or a heartless killer hoping to terrify her?

Days later, another woman’s body is found at the bottom of a perilous ravine. Jenna’s worst fear is confirmed the moment she spots a purple medal: a dangerous serial killer is preying on the wives of soldiers from the same platoon, and if she doesn’t act fast, more lives will be at risk.

The key lies in discovering what happened to the missing soldiers, and whether any of them made it back alive. But, separated from her team in a secluded forest, Jenna hears a branch snap behind her. She is not alone. Will she be the next victim of a twisted trained soldier on the loose? And how many more grieving widows will have their lives snatched before he’s caught?

Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh, and Kendra Elliot. Prepare to be hooked!

why I keep coming back...

I keep coming back to these stories because the story lines are usually pretty good, Just wish the author would work on improving the ridiculous dialog between main characters and avoid the over use of phrases like "is all", "Aunt Betty's Cafe" and "Jenna sighed" which makes me think of genocide every time I hear it. Typically the narrator does pretty well with other books she's narrated, but her inflection and untimely pauses make the dialog that much more annoying. If you can get past those issues, the story lines are entertaining.

Kane and Alton

Not the best story line, but still a great sequel to the series! And I love how we have stayed with the same narrator consistently throughout.

terrible narrator, made the story sound bad

If this narrator continues with the next book , I will not buy it , overall I liked the story line.

One of the better in the series.

I thought the two before this were ok but this one, particularly the last hour and a half, were exceptionally exciting.

It was ok

A bit creepy but ok. Didn’t feel the camaraderie between the team in this one. Seemed to be all Jenna and Kane. Good story, just not one of my favorites in this series

loved it!!

as usual the worse thing about this is that its over!
5 plus stars on all aspects.

Jenna and Dave do it again!

Fabulous as always. Can’t wait for the next one! Couldn’t put it down! What’s next?

Rushed

No regrets. I'm just disappointed in the rushed end. All the characters have their own stories, and this one missed the mark. Comments added with no personal follow-up. Not even time to ponder who it could be from learning of the suspects to his sudden personality change into mister spill the beans in the interview room. Missed opportunity due to rushing.

Book 17

What another awesome book in the Kane & Alton series. It kept me enthralled throughout the book waiting to see what was happening next. D. K. Hood always keeps me on my toes trying to figure out who the killer is and this one had me guessing to the very end. Cannot wait until the next book is released. Keep them coming D. K. Hood.
