Ratings and reviews

Paige felt she need one more piece a connection of why For her thesis for her PhD, all her work would seems hollow without the understanding of why. A great plot showing of how a few things that happened and now a career choice of doing work to help others. Enjoyable and the author showed the depth and how she came about this choice. Readers will enjoy this new series. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

The story was great but what stopped me giving it 5 stars was the errors in the narration. Several lines were repeated throughout. One line was repeated three times. This really needs correcting.

Paige King has been doing her residency for her PHD at a hospital for the criminally insane. Working on her thesis while studying these patients she focuses on one man, Adam Riker, to base the thesis. Her last day Adam tells her he plans to escape. She tells the hospital, and they increase security which actually helps him escape. Paige is contacted by FBI agent Christopher Marriott who asks her to help find Adam because she has been profiling him. This story is really great and keeps you turning pages. Can't wait for more of this new series hopefully involving Paige and Christopher.
