Ratings and reviews

Danger in Numbers by Heather Graham Heather Graham has been a go-to author for me for some time and this book, dealing with cults and a horrific ritualistic killing sounded like a good read…and it was. This is a great introduction to what will be a four-book series starring Amy and Hunter and I am eager to read them all. What I liked: * Amy Larson: Special Agent for Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), newer at the job than some but not a novice, bright, dedicated, an artist that makes drawings at the scene of crimes, capable, thinks on her feet, from a family in law enforcement, likable. * Hunter Forrest: FBI Special agent, ex-military, knowledgeable about cult and ritualistic murders, mid-thirties, well known on the job, intelligent, interesting backstory, likable. * The slow development of the relationship between Amy & Hunter – can see them together on the job and off and am looking forward to seeing them together as the series unfolds. * The side/back story and how it played into the overall larger story. * The supporting characters: CSI, ME, her FDLE partner-John, FBI agent assigned to assist, others * The dark, gritty aspects even though the crimes and cult and all the rest were as horrific as expected…and perhaps a bit more. * Not knowing for sure which characters were good/bad * It was believable * That both main characters came from loving families * That Amy and Hunter seemed balanced people and that they didn’t come into the story with a lot of baggage that drew away from the plot. * Looking forward to what will happen next What I didn’t like: * Knowing that cults exist and are as bad as or worse than the one in this book * The baddies I was meant to dislike * Having to wait till book two is published to find out what will happen next. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Yes Would I read more by this author? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-Mira for the ARC – this is my honest review. 4-5 Stars
