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 letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the 9th book in the Detective Morgan Brooks series but they can all be read as standalones.

Helen has written another book that is going to creep me out for weeks to come. She is one of those authors that is not afraid to show you the nitty gritty. She’s not afraid to kill off any characters. Some might not like this but for me it makes it realistic. Not everyone is saved. Every one of Helen’s books has had a murder that I could imagine happening (not that I want to mind you).

It was great to see the team again and to see how Cain is now fitting in with them all. He is a great addition and will be really food for the team. Morgan as usual disregards everything and puts herself in danger. She is determined and a good officer but she really has no regard for her own safety. You would think by now she would have learnt something but clearly she has not.

The pace was spot on and Helen had me racing through this one from the very first page. I was loathed to put it down for any length of time. If you love a gruesome crime thriller then this is one for you.
