Another amazing Karen Rose book! I’m a massive fan and they just get better! This one is brilliant, not many authors can make you feel part of the story and that the characters are friends. But Karen can!

This is the first book I have read by Karen Rose and it certainly won't be my last. This was an edge of your seat read which you didn't want to end.

When I saw how long the book was I was expecting it to be a long drawn out story - how wrong was I. It was packed with action, suspense and drama. It was extremely well written and I could visualise every character, especially Deacon. By the last three quarters i could not put it down and was desperate to find out who the killer or killers were.

I highly recommend this book and I am now looking forward to reading book 2.

Karen Rose has done it again! Delivered a rollercoaster ride to start off another new thrilling series.

The balance of suspense and romance is perfect, watching the relationship between Deacon & Faith bloom in such a short time period was breathtaking at times (you'll understand if you've read the whole book 😉) and written so well.

The characters are e extremely well written and I love the way the 'vicfims' are portrayed with their strength and resilience shining through.

I've read all of Karen Rose books but this will always be my favourite, the one that really took my breathe away and had me gripped from the first page.

Even though this was a really long book it just kept me turning the pages, never questioning when it would end like others do but constantly questioning 'WHO DONE IT?'

Terrific plot, great characters, full of twists turns and dips.

Hold your breathe and jump straight in, you wont be disappointed!

I love karen rose. The suspense and romance, the intrigue and horror that she brings to her books is absolutely amazing. She brings you horrifying situations and envelopes you in the characters that are as real as the situations she puts their.
I have to say Deacon novak is my favourite character created by Rose and closer than you think is the perfect story to display the oddity and complexity that novak represents.
The book takes you on a whirlwind of intrigue and judgement as you begin to question everyone. As you begin to wonder at what secrets Faith holds until the climatic end where your left simply saying oh my God!

Synopsis: Psychologist Faith Corcoran has returned to Cincinnati against her will. Inheriting her grandmother's house has seen her return to the place that still gives her nightmares, if only to escape the stalker who has made her life hell for a year. To start again, she's going to need to face the bad memories that still haunt her. But her fears are a lot closer to coming to fruition than she thinks. FBI agent Deacon Novak has been called in to assist in the disappearance of two college girls, when his path crosses with Faith's.

As usual, I loved this book! I'm a huge Karen Rose fan and love the way she weaves characters from previous books into her new series's so that they all link into her romantic suspense series, each one set in a different city. I can't recommend this blend of crime thriller and romance, enough!
