Received an ARC at no cost to author. This is the second installment to this series. The author brings you up to date with what was happening. While these scenarios were a little unbelievable I still had to read because I wanted to know if I guessed correctly. Even though Brent kept thinking that Janie was so smart and brave, I really have no clue how he got to that conclusion, but what the hell it is a book and I kept reading..On the the next one.. ( )

**I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley. This is a voluntary review; all opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**

This is a good bridging novella. It kept my attention with its pace and suspense. I enjoyed the unpredictability of the killer and not knowing how far he/she was going to take it. I would have liked a few more twists (I think the killer is pretty obvious but again, I think the twists are going to come in the full novel when we get deeper into this world).

I know its a novella and you can only do so much with the page count, but I found the romance was a little rushed. But don't get me wrong, I really love the two of them together and I get why they are drawn to each other. Certainly the situation Janie finds herself in has escalated things faster than normal. It's just that it took away a touch of the realism this story had had up until this point.

I'm still on the edge of my seat though, waiting to see what happens in the next novella and how this will lead into the full novels.
