" This book had a lot of action and moved at a brisk pace. There were many subplots going at the same time. I found some of the story to be very far-fetched. But I still enjoyed it and stayed with it until I finished it. "
" Great book and on to the next in the series!! "
" Fabulous debut. "
" I truly wanted to love this book because it was written by a work colleague - a great person. However, it just wasn't there. "
" Another excellent entry in the Melanie Vargas series! Can't wait to read more! "
" Another great entry in the series "
" A solid book two of the series. Melanie continues to be strong, with relatable flaws to the average person. There is enough action and detail without being too graphic. "
" Decent plot but not a very complex read. A good book if you're just in the mood for a mystery with a lady cop as the heroine. "
" It felt like what it is…a book by a first time writer. The story is okay but too many aspects of it seemed amateur and predictable. It was not a horrible read but I gained nothing from reading it either. I could have lived it without it. "
