Ratings and reviews

This is my first time finishing a book for the past 16 years of my whole life trying to read a book. I don't really like reading but finishing this, this book made me realize that it is not boring after all. I truly love this especially the bond between Ella and Mia. Thank you, Blake Pierce. I gotta ace my project chapter review of my reading and writing subject because of you. Never thought that choosing a free book would make a great impact in my life.

An excellent read that dispels the notion that serial killers must stand out from the crowd. Dark's journey from killer enthusiast to a hardened agent is a perfect example of the age-old saying "the grass is always greener on the other side".

A killer is marking his territory in Louisiana, and the local police, even the FBI are having trouble. Because of her knowledge and brilliant mind, she's been chosen to participate in the field, even though she has no practical experience. What she finds astonishes everyone. But to find the killer, she must put herself in danger ... and the killer may be closer than she thinks. This is an excellent start to a new series! Dark is a wonderful character, and her backstory is devastating. Well-written, there are twists and turns around every corner; The suspense starts on the first page and maintains a high level until the unexpected conclusion. I love getting in on the ground floor of a riveting new series.
