Publisher's summary
From TikTok sensation Lloyd Devereux Richards comes the heart-pounding story of FBI agent Christine Prusik as she attempts to unmask a serial killer who leaves a calling card with a terrifying connection to her own haunted past.
As the chief forensic anthropologist for the FBI’s Chicago field office, Christine Prusik has worked her fair share of bizarre cases. Yet this one trumps them all: a serial killer is strangling young women and dumping their bodies in the steep, forested ravines of southern Indiana.
With each victim, the killer leaves a calling card: a stone figurine carved like the spirit stones found among the native tribes of Papua New Guinea—the same tribes Prusik worked with a decade earlier while doing field research. The personal nature of the similarity is eerie and, frankly, terrifying; Prusik still carries trauma from her time in the field.
As the dark details continue to surface, Prusik has to wonder if the connection is real or if her nightmares have finally wormed their way into her waking life.

Story
Alice gets off a bus in the middle of a snowstorm in Delphi, NY. She is fleeing an abusive relationship and desperate to protect Oren, 10 years old, a major Star Wars fan and wise beyond his years. Though Alice is wary, Oren bonds nearly instantly with Mattie, a social worker in her 50s who lives in an enormous, rundown house in the middle of the woods. According to protocol, Mattie should take Alice and Oren to a local shelter; instead, she brings them home for the night. What she doesn't say is that Oren reminds her of her little brother, who died 30 years ago at the age of 10.

Story
To everyone else it was “just” a weekend house party—complete with a pheasant shoot, inside jokes, and after-dinner games. But for American Nicola Harris, swept off her feet by aristocratic Englishman James Shuttleworth, the weekend is her first chance to penetrate his close-knit circle of posh friends—people with names like Badger and Trez, people who will soon have the titles of Earl and Countess. Nicola is eager to fit in, but she can’t seem to navigate this insular world, where everyone speaks a private language and secrets are hinted at behind the jolly jokes and witty barbs.

In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government's emergency protocols are faltering.

Victorian London was notorious for its pickpockets. But in the country houses of the elite, gentleman burglars, art thieves and con men preyed on the rich and titled. Wealthy victims—with their pride and reputation at stake—would never go to the police. What they needed was a society insider, one of their own, a person of discretion and finely tuned powers of observation.

I couldn't return it so I stuck it out. The narrator was the problem. To me she sounded too much like Siri. At times she sounded EXACTLY like Siri.

YIKES.
YIKES.
"How did this woman become an FBI agent?" That thought ran through my head multiple times per chapter as this story unfolded. She is definitely not my idea of a heroine. She's book smart, but naive as a schoolgirl when it comes to street smarts. She's argumentative, reactionary, not a team player, and rarely engages what little filter exists between her brain and her mouth. She's also extremely bound by her PTSD from a past event.
I can't fault her for her reaction to trauma, although the entire setup for said trauma was pretty silly in my opinion. Regardless, she suffered, she survived, but she refuses to truly acknowledge the effects of this trauma. I can't imagine someone this scarred passing the psych test to become an FBI agent. Honestly, the entire story made me a bit frustrated. If you can't bring a decently intelligent heroine to the story, don't bring one at all. Don't treat your readers to main characters that are inept, blind to all their failings, and have no qualities that make us want to engage with them. Bring us smart characters. They can be flawed, scarred, imperfect, and struggling. But they need to be someone we, the readers might want to hang out with, have a drink with, or even have a relationship with. Bring us someone we can relate to in some form. We're not interested in heroines that seem like they have their position because there was a gender quota.
As for the story? It had its moments. It's got some suspense, and an interesting premise, with the exception of the past traumatic event. I would have given the story 4 stars if I could have tolerated the main character.
