This was awesome and read like an episode of ‘criminal minds’ or CSI! (In fact the whole way through I pictured Tracey as Spencer Reid!)
Newbie FBI agent Tracey Smith has joined the Behavioural Analysis Unit as a behavioural profiler - using his background in psychology to help catch serial killers. On his first day, he meets his intriguing boss, Jon Anderson, and it makes him start to question his whole stance on romance.
Tracey doesn’t get long to settle in before the team are called to St.Louis to try and stop a serial killer who has been sniping people with a rifle in crowded areas. As Jon and Tracey work together, they learn more about each other and start to bare their darkest secrets to each other in a bid to stay sane during this claustrophobic case.
I loved the action in this one - it was definitely a thriller first, romance second. In fact the whole reason this book only gets 4/5 stars from me is that I actually felt like the romance let it down a bit! I didn’t really buy the relationship between Jon and Tracey - I also wanted to know more about the ability of getting into criminal’s mindsets that was alluded to a couple of times. It’s something that apparently bothers him, but it’s never fully explained. Maybe it’ll come to light more in the rest of the series?
Either way, a really thrilling (and gory!) read, perfect for fans of romantic suspense and crime dramas!
