About this ebook

In this thriller by the #1 New York Times bestselling author, mischievous teenagers are met by a twisted serial killer deep in the Montana woods.

The menacing woods of Grizzly Falls, Montana, are not for the faint of heart. But for local teenagers, they’re the perfect setting for partying and pranks. They don’t know that lately there’s a rapt audience amid the tangled trees, a killer with a different kind of game in mind. At the right moment, with the right victim, the deadly play begins.

Detective Regan Pescoli is counting the days until her maternity leave. Exhausted and emotional, the last thing she needs is another difficult case—let alone a suspected serial killer. When a reality show arrives in town, and Regan’s teenage daughter gets swept up in the media storm, she and her partner, Selena Alvarez, must somehow distinguish between rumor and truth. As more victims are found, and the nightmare begins to strike closer to home, Pescoli races to find the terror lingering in the darkness, where there are too many places to hide—and countless places to die…

Ratings and reviews

Deputy Regan Pescoli and her daughter, Bianca, get involved in a murder investigation when Bianca stumbles over a corpse in the woods. But this won't be the only body. Regan is pregnant and close to going out on maternity leave. Emotional, exhausted, and still dealing with her ex-husband, the last thing she wants is to have to face another serial killer. And when media advances on the small town with a reality show, things only get worse. And someone ...or something ... is watching it all. Although part of a series, this one does okay as a stand alone. The plot seems complex and a bit hard to follow at times. There are so many characters, it's not always easy to see who they are and how they relate to the story. I spent some time backtracking on pages I'd already read. Being a huge Lisa Jackson fan, I was somewhat disappointed with this one, but not enough to put the book down and not finish. I'm accepting of the fact that any particular author may not be able to hit it out of the ballpark every time. Many thanks to the author / Kensington Books - Zebra / Netgalley for the digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

The female caracters are horrible. This is the 3rd book from this author I read. I should of stopped right from the beginning when the girl slapped the boy and then immediately acted the victim. The female leads are just unlikable

I was so excited for the baby to be born. Such a cute name , too. I want to know if Pescoli goes back to work. I will be happy that Bigfoot will not appear in the next book. Curious of what will happen to Lucky. Great read.
