Genre : Crime, Thriller, Mystery

Synopsis :
Brooke Douger has a knack for helping others with their broken lives, which explains her interest in criminal psychology and profiling. She convinces her childhood friend, Jacob, to move to Tampa after his latest fiasco, where he finds a job at a legal firm, which is defending Zach Barton, a rich, young entrepreneur who is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend. When Brooke has to provide expert testimony in Barton's trial, Jacob and Brooke end up on opposite sides of the courtroom. As Brooke prepares to testify, she discovers a pattern of violent, impulsive behavior in Barton's past, eerily similar to those of the Surfside Killer, the case she has been asked to help profile for the FBI. Brooke is swirling in dangerous waters with the killer lurking on the fringe of her life. Who will be his next victim? Will Brooke's knack for profiling be enough to keep her safe?

Review :
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I was up till 4 in the morning to finish the book. I just couldn't put it down. I had to know how it ends, but this was one of those books you don't want it to be done. I wanted more. I'm dying to read the sequel. I just can't wait. The last few chapters were so interesting that, I found myself reading faster and faster, and I hated that I wasn't fast enough.
The writing was BRILLIANT, the character development was incredible and the story was thrilling and captivating till the very end. The ending, well, I did not see that coming.

This story is inspired by life events. Author's cousin was murdered and she processed the loss through writing. What really is commendable, is that she went through something so terrible and unimaginable, and she turned that loss and that energy into something so incredible. It really is inspiring.
