Her heart races as a noise from downstairs wakes her. She checks every room in her small home, but it's not until she returns to the safety of her bedroom does she see movement. She's not alone. And nobody can help her now…
Writing scrawled on the wall of Sheriff Jenna Alton's office overnight leads her and her deputy David Kane to a secluded house on the outskirts of town. Inside, Jenna is devastated to find a much-loved local resident lying in a pool of blood, stab wounds covering her lifeless body. What monster would attack a defenseless woman living alone?
With no trace of the killer at the scene, the deadly message written on Jenna's door is her only clue. But as the small town grieves, it leads her to a contractor who recently had access to the woman's home. She races to interview him, only to discover the wreck of a car on a steep mountain road with another dead woman inside.
Jenna knows the victims were friends and regularly went to church together. She thinks a twisted killer has been watching them, waiting for the perfect time to strike. But before she can make her next move, one of her own team is found unconscious and covered in the blood of a third female victim—a knife inches away from his hand.
Pulse racing, Jenna questions her shaken deputy, who can't explain why he was in the woman's house. Could he really be a killer, or is someone playing an evil game? The clock ticks to uncover a dark secret that connects all three victims, but can she work it out before another innocent life is taken?
An absolutely unputdownable crime thriller from a USA Today bestselling author. If you're a fan of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, you will love this gripping read.

My Review
We're back in Black Rock Falls for book #14 of the Kane and Alton series. There's no surprise to hear there's a serial killer on the loose again, but this time they are targeting the elderly women living around the town. Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Dave Kane are investigating but with little to go on they enlist the help of FBI agents Ty Carter and Jo Slater. When it looks like one of Jenna's team may be involved they have their work cut out trying to figure it all out
I love this series and even though we are 14 books in, it still packs the same punch as the books before it. The storyline is a shocking one and it keeps you wondering why all these little old ladies are being targeted. As with previous books, it's a little gruesome and it may make your stomach churn at times, but hey, you can't have a serial killer without a bit of blood! The storyline twists and turns throughout and we are treated to some heart stopping moments on more than one occasion! There are also a couple of other storylines running alongside the main one, which may or may not be connected - you'll have to keep reading to find out!
All of the usual characters are welcomed back, with the introduction of some new ones also. I love Dave and Jenna's relationship, but this is pushed to its limits at times during their story. Ty Carter is also coming up fast behind Dave Kane as the most hottest law enforcement officer around and I really hope he comes back to visit in the next book!! My only slight criticism (and it's only really slight!) is that one of the storylines was left a bit up in the air…I'm assuming, and hoping, all will be revealed in the next book, and cannot wait to find out what's happened!
This was, yet again, another fantastic read. It grabbed my attention from the first page and didn't let up until the last!! Filled with lots of red herrings, dead ends, "No's" and "OMG's", this book will keep you on the edge of your seat!! Would definitely recommend!!
