I would not advise staying up late to read this book. That's probably true for any of Lisa Gardner's books, but let me tell ya, this will not give you good dreams :)

I felt that this book could have so much better. At first, I figured it would have been about Tess and her fight. Her story. I wanted to see Tess get stronger. I wanted to read about her battles. I wanted to read about her strength, but the author disappointed me in that. It seemed to go more with J.T and Marion. Which by the way J.T got on my last nerves. For someone who was so strong and so "bad" he actually seemed weak, immature and annoying.
There's a couple of other things that I didn't like to much.. how about the fact her daughter's been kidnapped by her psycho ex husband and she starts having sex with J.T. I understand people have needs but damn.

This book is the first the author wrote in the FBI profiler series (Quincy). I wanted to love this book the way I’ve enjoyed the ones she’s written more recently. It started off ok with the typical twisted psychopath bad guy and fragile but growing stronger female protagonist. Overall, the book was still enjoyable and the plot moved along quickly. I read it in almost one sitting. What I didn’t care for as much were the overwrought and overly salacious/romance novel sex scenes. I read somewhere that Lisa Gardner used to write romance books under a different name and it shows. It seemed her writing in general was less developed than it is in later books. Like she hadn’t fully come into her style yet. I’m about to read another early book in the DD Warren series. I’m interested to see if it follows the same vein or not.

Read for my class for the Crime/Thriller genre. Not a big fan of this genre and I had a hard time getting into the book but it was okay overall.
