For anyone looking for a new suspense author to read - look no further. This was an intense book with a twisted serial killer that loves to prey on your fears.

Another thrilling book in the Mindhunter series.

Detective Noah Crandall who we met in the first book Only Fear has taken time off from his homicide duties in Chicago to come to New York to help in the investigation of his best friend Diego's nieces murder. When he gets there he finds Diego is poor shape and on temporary suspension for contaminating the crime scene of her murder. He kicks Diego's butt into action and agrees they will investigate the murder on their own. I remember Noah being a bit of a crabby pants in Only Fear and we finally get to find out what's with the attitude in this book.

Vanessa Knight works at the art gallery where Diego's niece worked as an intern. She was the one who found her purse in the alley and reported her missing. Her boss doesnt want any of them at the gallery to speak to the police as he doesnt want the publicity to hurt there upcoming charity auction but Vanessa isnt having any of that - she was friends with Natalee and wants her murder brought to justice.

When they dont get very far in the investigation Noah calls Damien who's head of the Mindhunter's for help. Damien ends up coming himself along with a couple of his team to New York. There were side stories of Damien and his ex-wife and a secondary romance between Becca (of the Mindhunters) and Diego. It was nice to get to hear more about Damien's past with his ex-wife. Its because of all of this that I recommend that you need to read the first book to understand everything - about why Damien created the Mindhunters and what the issues were that lead to the breakup of his marriage.

It certainly wasnt an easy romance for Noah and Vanessa. Between his childhood issues, her having a boyfriend wanna be fiance who wouldnt take the hint she didnt want him anymore and discovering that Vanessa was on the killer's radar as his next victim these two had a lot to get through.

After talking with the author and finding out some of the threads that were left open will be addressed/concluded in future books I felt a lot better about the ending.

I am looking forward to more books in this series.

A maze of complexities in both the romance and the killer in this latest installment of the Mindhunters series.

When the third victim is found of a killer that injects poison into his victims and no connection between any of the victims can be found Mindhunter profiler Holt Patterson is assigned the case. Holt is a very complex guy himself. His wife died of cancer a year ago and left him as a single father to their son but Holt’s devotion to his job has him being an absentee father most of the time. Between the death of his mother and his father not being around much nine year old Theo has been acting out in school.

Sara Burns is the director at the The Hills Boys’ Academy school where Theo attends. She was also once best friends with Elizabeth who was Theo’s mother. She has a soft spot for Theo and is always looking out for him even though its uncomfortable for her to be around his father. She also doesnt realize that she has come under the radar of the killer but not for the reasons you think.

The complexities of this story come in between Holt and Sara and with the killer known as Toxin.

Sara and Holt have a history together from college. She really liked him back then but was to shy to ever act on it and then her best friend decided she wanted Holt for herself and they ended up pregnant and married which ended all three’s friendships. The feelings that left Sara and Holt with about each other was strained to say the least.

Now to Toxin. The author created a killer that in his mind was a superhero and all killings were justified. As the story progressed and you find out what made Toxin the way he was and in some ways you felt sorry for him but yet knew he’d gone clean off the deep end.

This is an ongoing series that I think should be read in order as there are some arcs that were started in the first book that are still ongoing. I continue to be a fan of this series and cant wait for the next book.

This series never ceases to amaze me. Each book gets better with its complex weave of plots from past and present in the continuing quest to bring down the Circle.
Damian Manchaster and his team of SSAR agents have had a Fan that has been pretty harmless. But that changed when the Fan becomes obsessed with SSAR agent Becca and his obsession turns deadly to anyone he feels has wronged Becca.

Becca and Diego Sandoval were a secondary romance in Avenging Angel that didn’t end well. The two are thrown back together at Noah and Venessa’s wedding along with Becca tracking down someone that managed to escape from the Circle. Diego is keeping a secret from his fellow police officers and Becca. He’s been under cover with the Circle trying to find out who the leader is. When Diego finds out Becca has a stalker/fan and she comes under the radar of the Circle he decides he is going to back to Chicago with the SSAR team to be her bodyguard/partner until they find out who the Fan is.

Its hard to describe all the intersecting plots that happen throughout a Mindhunters book. But the author always does a fabulous job of interweaving them and keeping you on your toes on what’s going to happen next and has you always dying to get the next clue about what happened to Damian’s daughter over 20 years ago. I love this series and cannot wait for the next..
