This is the last book of a trilogy. The first two were "No Regrets" and "No Control." I was excited to read Grant's story since he was in both the last one and was quite a memorable character. I was also hesitant going in because I liked "No Regrets" a lot but hated "No Control." I think this one was better than "No Regrets."
Things you should know before starting this book is that it is psychologically gory. I have a high tolerance for physical gore but this is fear we are talking about. And Shannon does such a good job of making you fear along with the victims of the murderer that I actually felt my stomach drop a few times. It's worst if you are a parent. Something about the way Butcher describes things just gave me the willies and I have read my fair share of true crime serial killer books.
That being said there are multiple bad guys to worry about. The suspense is great even though you know who the murderer is. I love it when authors can do that (make you intrigue even though you know who the baddies are). I am a bit surprise that the only one who seriously put the serial killer on the suspect list was the detective.
The love scenes are a little stagnant. I have to say that it is a consistent thing with Butcher. She tends to have her characters make love in the same way with a slight variation of the positions. She definitely needs some work there. But I did enjoy the characters and love the interaction between Isabelle and Grant. I like that Isabelle is a bit of a cryer and still managed to be smart and strong. Grant doesn't disappoint as an alpha male. I don't think Grant even needed the background issues with Dad to make him work. The side characters were great as well and I was really sad when they got offed by the bad guy.
This is a great page turner and I recommend it if you can handle books on psychos.
