When I saw the cover of this book, I just HAD
to read it. A book revolving around a serial killer’s daughter. I’m in. I’ve
never read a book that revolves around that topic so that was a nice variation
of the thrillers I’m used to reading.
First off, I initially thought the book was slow,
there wasn’t much action, there was lots of repeating, and I was getting a bit
bored. However, as the book kept progressing it got better and better and
overall ended up absolutely loving it!
For me, this novel was totally unpredictable, which
is a big bonus for me since I read mostly Thrillers and have seen so many of the
same twists. Also, this book includes many creepy and vivid details of the
murders and I was there for it! If you don’t enjoy that type of writing, you
might not like this book.
However, my favorite part of the book was the main
characters. I love romance in Thrillers, so I absolutely loved the dynamic
between Nadine and the Detective! They were such lovable characters it just
made me want to keep reading their story. This is apparently Book 1 of the
Nadine Finch series, so you better bet I’m going to keep reading this series!
Highly recommend.
Thank you to Bookouture for providing me with an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley. As usual, my reviews are my honest and unbiased opinions.
Who
better to catch a murderer than a woman raised by one?
The beautiful young woman’s long black hair clings to her face like seaweed. As
Nadine turns the body, she prays this will be different: but seeing the wounds,
her prayers go unanswered. It’s just like the others. An exact match to her
mother’s victims.
Keeping her head down and refusing to let anyone get close is Agent Nadine
Finch’s atonement for never realising her mother Arleen was a serial
killer. But when the body of a young woman is found drifting in the warm
Sarasota Bay waters, right where Nadine grew up, the past she’s worked so hard
to keep hidden comes calling.
Rushing to the scene, Nadine is the first to notice the circle carved around
the girl’s ring finger. It’s the exact same marking Arleen left on all her
victims. Suddenly, Nadine is a teenager again, watching her mother come
home to their trailer in the middle of the night, covered in blood.
With a heartbroken family reeling, and no witnesses or forensic evidence,
Nadine has no choice but to face her demons and visit her mother in prison.
When her mother whispers a name Nadine hasn’t heard for years, the case takes a
terrifyingly personal turn, and returning home, the bag of bloodied
clothes left on Nadine’s bed tells her someone is watching her every move…
With her dark family history out in the open, it’s not long before suspicion
falls on Nadine herself. As her team turn against her, the closer she gets to
her mother and this case, the more danger she’s in. Time is running out.
Can she catch the killer—or will she be the next victim of this dark family
legacy?
An unputdownable thriller that will have you racing through the pages until the
final, jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Lisa Gardner and
Mary Burton.
