Pretend You're Safe

By: Alexandra Ivy

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

He sees you.

First came the floods. Then came the bodies. The victims - strangled, then buried along the shores of the Mississippi - have finally been unearthed years after they disappeared. He remembers every satisfying kill - each woman's terror and agony. But there's only one he truly wanted. And fate has brought her within reach again.

He knows you.

Jaci Patterson was 16 when she found the first golden locket on her porch. Inside were a few strands of hair wrapped around a scrap of bloodstained ribbon. Though the "gifts" kept arriving, no one believed her hunch that a serial killer was at work. Now Jaci has returned home - and the nightmare is starting once more.

And he'll never let you go.

Back then, Rylan Cooper was an arrogant deputy sheriff convinced that Jaci was just an attention-seeking teen. It was a fatal mistake. There's a murderer in their midst, someone determined to settle old scores and keep playing a twisted game. And it won't end until Jaci is his forever....

Critic reviews

"Alexandra Ivy gives listeners a nice balance of romance and suspense in her fast-paced, well-plotted novel." (Kat Martin, New York Times best-selling author)

Great Book

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't understand some of the negative reviews, as I would recommend this book.

Slow, drawn out, and boring.

The description showed promise, but it quickly morphed into a vapid "romance." Even the triangle aspect is ridiculous. The two male leads try to out-macho each other while treating the female lead like a porcelain doll. Frustratingly enough, she acts like one. Several times their own pov was focused, not on solving murders, but on sexual attraction. The characters are actually just shallow caricatures. Could not finish.

Excellent mystery!

A little sad family drama, a little small town coziness. A little romance, a little ...murder?! The author does a great job with character building and understands small town community living. A sweet little intrigue with all the trimmings.

the suspense was lovely!

spice level is only a 1.5 but it'd a fun murder mystery. I loved the sheriff, Rylan, and the sheriff assistant. the main girl was ....okay, her sister is a nightmare.

kept me guessing

I like who done it books, I can usually guess who done it, not this time. I could have
missed the clue..
hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
