About the Book:
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 Thoughts
This is one of my favourite long running series. Jenna Alton and Dave Kane are two of the greatest characters I have read especially Dave.
The relationship between Jenna and Dave is one that is so strong and you can see so much in these characters that is noble and honourable.
Kane shows so much but also kind of scares me to a point as he seems to go from this sweet and innocent man and all of a sudden the switch is turned and he goes darkness incarnate.
The story itself is just like all the others top of the line. I don’t think I have ever seen a bad story line in this series. This one is slightly harder to deal with as it deals a lot with elderly people and murders or attempted murders. It really brings it home as I see what a lot of these people live through daily.
Are the senior women in BlackRock Falls safe. A rash of attacks and murders has both Jenna and Dave trying to find out what happened as well as what they should do. The book is full of twists and turns but I love seeing the FBI back in the picture especially since they are such great help and I have really started to like Jo and Ty so much. Hoping to see a lot more of them maybe even a spin off series.
How this book made me feel was so glad that I found this super series. I love series but I find that most start to go downhill after a few books since there isn’t much new to learn about the characters. This isn’t the case with this series as I am still trying to figure out these characters even after 14 books.
I was so shocked by this book and was completely flabbergasted by the writing. You will have to read this book to really see what I am referring to. What a great book.
