About this audiobook
From the bestselling author of Pretty Girls Dancing comes a shattering serial-killer thriller about revenge, deliverance, and survival.
Cady Maddix survived a brutal upbringing—emotionally scarred but hardened—with a will for self-preservation. Hunting fugitives has given her life purpose and control. But when the Deputy US Marshal returns home to care for her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother, a new case stirs old memories.
Child killer Samuel Aldeen has broken out of a nearby facility for the criminally insane, and the authorities believe he was aided by accomplices, both inside and out. Enlisted to track him down, Cady follows an unexpected lead. Her name is Eryn Pullman, a young woman recently released from a neighboring psychiatric facility, a mentally fragile survivor of childhood abuse, and Aldeen’s next designated victim.
To save Eryn’s life, Cady must work fast to uncover the unimaginable link between predator and prey—even as it pulls her into the cold dark places of her own past.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I love dark mystery thrillers, especially ones starring complex female main characters. I was engaged with this story from start to finish. I'm looking forward to more books coming out in this series. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Forgettable
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5With all the glowing reviews it's received, I expected to love this book. Unfortunately, I found the story tedious and I just couldn't get into it. From the start, we jump around from one character to another, and from one timeline to another, with lots of history and backstory and unnecessary (to me) detail. There is just too much going on. We have a psychopathic girl, who is now an adult, and we meet her in both stages of her life. We meet the people in her life, then and now. We meet the cops involved in her case, then and now. We also have a random escaped prisoner and various cops chasing him down. Then we go into the cops' personal lives and get to know them. Rather than build suspense, it all felt disjointed, taking away from the immediacy of what could have been a compelling story.Lots of readers have loved this book, but it just didn't work for me.
