Part of what pushed her every day in this job was her need to answer that impossible-to-fathom question. Who would do that, and more importantly, why would anybody cause such pain and destruction?

Laurel Snow wouldn’t call hunting a serial killer a vacation, but with a pile of dead bodies unearthed near her Genesis Valley, WA, hometown, she’ll take what she can get. Yet something about this case stirs her in unexpected ways. Like the startling connection she feels to Dr. Abigail Caine, a fiercely intelligent witness with a disturbing knack for making Laurel feel like she has something on her. Then there’s Laurel’s attraction to Huck Rivers, the fish and wildlife officer guiding her to the crime scene—and into the wilderness…
A former soldier and a trained sniper, Huck’s thirst for blood is rivaled only by his fierce pursuit of Laurel. He’s been burned by love, wounded by the government, and betrayed before, and to say he has trust issues is the ultimate understatement. Plus, he might be closer to this killer than anybody knows…
Once in the heart of darkness with Huck, Laurel must negotiate her distracting desire for him, her complex rapport with Abigail—and her mission to find a serial killer among a growing list of suspects and a danger that’s far too close to home. So close in fact, Laurel fears she will never find her way back to the woman she once was…
My Two Cents
4.25 "I'm really excited about this series" stars
Laurel has just finished a case when she gets the call — a serial killer is hunting in her hometown and her uncle is a suspect. So of course she hurries home to find out what's going on and possibly solve the case. With little resources, she relies heavily on Huck and his 'team' and some new friends. And through their investigation, one name keeps popping up... Dr. Abigail Caine. Is she friend? Is she foe? And is she their best lead to catch the killer?
I really enjoyed the way this story twisted and turned. It was thrilling and scary and horrifying, but there were also elements of friendship, camaradie, humor, and warmth. I loved seeing Laurel's connection with her family. Her mom gave me such joy. And don't even get me started on what was happening between Laurel and Huck. Gimme more of that please!
The killer gave me chills, not gonna lie and I can always count on Zanetti to keep me guessing. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series!

Ooo! This one sounds good! I don't know if I've read anything by this author. If I have it's only maybe one book. I need to see if my library will have this one! Great review.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanna! It really was a great read. I think you'd enjoy it :)
DeleteGreat review you have of this one here. I had such a fun time with this one especially in seeing this author explore a romantic thriller. I can't wait for the next installment. Definitely had some great thrills in the only way Zanetti can write.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great read. I've read plenty of her romantic suspense and paranormal. But with this being a thriller, not a romance, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was actually a bit scared I would hate it. But not to worry, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to more! I hope we both continue to like this series :)
DeleteThank you for taking the time to leave a comment because I absolutely love getting and giving them!
