This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.




Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book. I have read Stacy's Nikki Hunt series and absolutely love Stacy's writing style so when I heard that her Lucy Kendall series was being released I couldn't wait to jump in.



This book (and I presume series) deals with child abuse and paedophilia. This is a difficult topic for some to read and it must be even harder to write.



Lucy is a private detective with quite a varied background but all centring around children and child abuse. I can see why some might find Lucy a difficult one to warm to. At first, I was a bit unsure but as you progress through the story you really start to understand Lucy, her past and her motivations. I think Lucy is an excellent investigator with true determination.



I liked Lucy's little 'team' from her hacker to her man on the street Kenny G. A varied but extremely skilful group of contacts.



This was a tense and addictive story that I just struggled to put down. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
