Rich and spoiled Jamie Upton, heir to the Upton fortune, is back in town accompanied by his fiancée. Jamie is known for a long line of lovers. Having a fiancée isn't slowing him down at all. When Jamie's tortured body is found in a cabin on the mountain, his former lover, Jazzy Talbot, is the prime suspect. Jazzy is certain that someone is watching her; but can't prove it. Her friends believe in her innocence, but the rest of the town considers her a murderer. Caleb McCord, the bouncer Jazzy hired at her club, is worried about her and is sticking close. When another murder occurs, secrets from the past come to light and threaten Jazzy's life.
This is the second book in the Cherokee Pointe trilogy. The suspense portions of the book kept my interest. The local psychic saw Jamie's murder and knows that the killer was a woman. There were several viable suspects to sort through. I liked that the author gave us enough information to pick out the killer. The romance portion of the story was okay, but felt unfinished by the end of the book. I hope Jazzy and Caleb's story continues in the last book of the series. The graphic torture scenes and the over-the-top sex scenes were a little too much for me. Be warned that many readers will not like this. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
