Its a cold night in January when the reader picks up this novel and immediately feels that creepy, here-comes-the-mystery beginning. There is an eerie feeling to every good suspense novel where the story just gets started and you know the villain is right around the corner youre sure of it. And its all downhill from there

I wasnt too sure about the suspense level in this one, to be completely honest could the premise be sustained through almost 400 pages? It didnt really kick into high gear until about 2/3 of the way through the book, but boy, when it did, I couldnt put it down. I finished the last 150 pages within one evening; it just kept getting better.

Our villain had to be one of the more deceitful villains Ive read in a novel for some time. There were times as a reader, I knew this guy had to be the one, but on the flip side, I couldnt marry the two in my mind. Great story crafting for sure!

Dev and Laura are a truly interesting couple, forced into a situation that no one wants to be in the middle of: kidnappings. Romance. Murder. Chilling cold. I felt it all. The second book with the second detective in the Phoenix agency is a worthwhile readbut be prepared to burn the midnight oil to keep reading until the very end

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
