Released 21st February 2019
Thank you to Netgalley, Headline and author Karen Rose for sending me the digital ARC of this book in return for my honest review.
Here comes the blurb as they say it better than I ever could!
-- MULTI-MILLION COPY SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER KAREN ROSE IS BACK WITH A BRAND NEW SERIES TO GET YOUR PULSE POUNDING --
Special Agent Gideon Reynolds has tried hard to put his past behind him. He escaped the violence of his cult upbringing when he was just thirteen, and since then routine and discipline have been his way of making sense of the world. But when a petite blonde woman crashes into his life, he begins to realise that a little bit of chaos might not be so bad.
Daisy Dawson has had more than her fair share of pain too - but she's done being a victim. Daisy's determined to explore every new experience she can - including getting to know the dark and serious FBI investigator she meets when she fights off a masked attacker one night.
It soon becomes clear that Daisy's attack was just the beginning. Now the bloodied bodies of young women are showing up all over California, and, as Gideon tries to find the killer, it's clear that Daisy is in more danger than they ever realised...
I have had the pleasure of reading a few Karen Rose books, this is the 1st book in the Sacramento Series and some characters do overlap. Like many of her books we have lots of crime, romance and suspense!!
I am not really a romance reader but the crime and thriller element more than makes up for what are very organic and thought out relationships.
It is a huge read at over 600 pages and there are lots of characters but as the story gets going you keep up with who is who and what is happening easier.
The chapters switch from Daisy and Gideon’s story to the killer’s. I for one love having the killer point of view I think to know there thinking, what makes them tick and why.
Lots of ups and down and many twists and turns, safe to say I am already hooked and look forward to book 2 of this series
⭐⭐⭐⭐
