Now this was an exciting read! And what a brilliant, tough, amazing heroine!! I absolutely loved Monica!! The hero Luke was a wonderful character as well, but honestly it felt like he took a backseat to the heroine. That woman knows how to kickass!! And Luke is a kickass hero as well, but he also knows how to support Monica and let her be independent, what a great team these two were.They are on the hunt of a serial killer, who kills his victims with their most deadly fear. The killer is a sick f*ck, twisted, evil and the author lets you into his head.The romance between Monica and Luke was awesome, plenty of heat, chemistry and genuine feeling that I could feel as I read this book. This book had the intensity I love, I couldnt put it down and I found myself getting consumed and tense wondering where the killer would strike next! What a roller-coaster ride!! I will definitely be reading the rest of this series!! Awesome read!!

I really liked this book. However, I found it difficult to connect with the characters until I was almost 3/4 way through the book, and then I just liked them.I was a little put off by the timing of the sex scenes, and because of this I didn't get that warm tingly feeling!! LOL. (The scenes were well written.)I also felt that Luke was lacking a little, *ducks* I mean he manned up when it came to the bedroom, but he didn't really do much until then. He just seemed like a lost Horn Dog following Monica around waiting on the next chance to jump in the sack with her. I guess it's only fair that I say what I did like about this book. I really liked the story / plot ect. Toward the end I felt like I was in one of those Toyota's speeding along the highway with no brakes...HA HA!! I liked Monica once I found a connection to her. I liked this book and I will be reading the next ones in this series!!I wasn't very impressed by Eden's characterization. I need to love them or hate them, just as long as I feel something. It took a long time to "like" them.I hope no one was offended by my Toyota comment...I own a Toyota Myself, and I love it!! LOL

4.5 starsOk, this is a fantastic romantics suspense, with just the perfect balance of romance and mystery. I'm so glad my GR friends encouraged me to read it. Luke and Monica were fabulous characters. They were perfect for each other. You could see it in every line, and every word. Two sides of the same coin. And man, they were hot. Crazy chemistry. I adored that Luke would not let Monica hide, that he saw all of her, and loved her because of who she was, not in spite of it. I was also fascinated with Monica. I can't even really wrap my head around how what she went through shaped who she was. The fact that she made it out the other side was a miracle. I don't want to talk too much about the mystery, because I'd hate to ruin anything, but suffice to say it was masterfully written. I was left guessing until the very last minute, even though all the clues were there. I loved how the past kept getting woven into the present case. I was completely engrossed in every word. Cynthia Eden also did a great job introducing you to all the secondary players on the team. I cannot wait to read their books. Overall, action packed, fabulous mystery, great romance, and some super hot chemistry. What more could you ask for?

I found this book nothing less than a thrilling page turner, so much so I couldnt turn the pages fast enough. I love a good suspense with out all that CSI stuff. If your looking for a book you can really sink you teeth in this would be it. I would suggest that you give yourself time to read this one its not a quick simple book to read. Cynthia delivers a punch in mystery, excitement, danger, emotions, and a enthralling cast of agent characters that I truly enjoyed reading. Plus she throws a few surprises along the way. I found the right amount of murder case and hot steamy romance between the hero and heroine, so I never got board with either one.This book is a scary thriller, so if your kind of squeamish be careful this book is about a killer that gets to know his victims then he tortures and kills them and its not pretty to readI loved the depth or intensity if you will, the author wrote between the hero and heroine its brilliant and it hooked me in the most. I really enjoyed both Luke and Monica they had relations once and now they are together again. I loved reading Luke. He knows both of them has secrets and he has to find a way to get Monica to tell all, before they can have a chance together. I loved how the author wrote Monica all tuff. She has a reason she knows the killers so well and its not pretty to read. It takes both Luke and Monica to take down the killer and in the mean time make things work between them. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good mystery suspense.
