Terrific conclusion to the series. The book starts with a rush as Nolan and his partner race to save the next victim of a serial killer after receiving a disturbing text from him. Someone had gotten ahead of them when they arrived at the scene. Adalyn, a former cop and current security specialist, had received the same text. The three saved the terrified woman together, but the surprises weren't over. Nolan was stunned to see Adalyn there. They were together until a murderer out to get her shot and killed his father by mistake. Their relationship couldn't survive the guilt and trauma, and they parted ways. Now Adalyn and Nolan are the targets of that same serial killer and his mind games.
I liked watching the rekindling of the relationship between Adalyn and Nolan. It is evident from the beginning that their attraction is as strong as ever, but neither can forget the circumstances that drove them apart. Adalyn still feels overwhelming guilt about Bill Dalton's death, and though Nolan doesn't hold her responsible, he hasn't been able to get past it. That won't stop him from keeping her safe while they look for the killer. The more time they spend together, the more he realizes he'd never stopped loving her. Meanwhile, Adalyn is sure they have no future together because of her connection to his father's murder. Both need to face that obstacle before they can move on. I loved the ending and seeing them look forward to a fresh start together.
The story's suspense had me glued to the pages from start to finish. Nolan and his partner, Cody, have been chasing the serial killer known as the Grave Digger for months. Adalyn's involvement added another layer of complexity, further complicated by the identity of the latest victim - Jeb Mercer's housekeeper, Caroline. When Jeb shows up, also having received a text from the killer, it becomes clear that the Grave Digger is playing a complicated game with them. Nolan is hit with a shocking secret about his past that throws everything he believes about who he is into question.
As Adalyn and Nolan dig deeper into the leads they uncover, the attacks against them escalate. Twists and turns and attempts at misdirection kept me turning the pages as they closed in on the identity of the Grave Digger. The final confrontation was a nail-biter, with Adalyn and Caroline in mortal danger and Nolan and the others racing to save them. The shocking identity of the killer and his motivations and manipulations added an extra layer of emotion to the conclusion.
