This book will grab your attention from the first page. It kept me interested all the way through. I would recommend reading this triology in order,so you can keep up with the characters and their relationships. It helps when references are made throughout each book.

This was good. I don't have a lot of time to read anymore and I went through it at warp speed! I consider Lisa Gardner to be the tops in forensic thrillers of those I have read and Allison Brennan is certainly someone to be counted.

Book was pretty good. First one I have read by Allison Brennan. A little too gruesome at times. Could only read the book during the day.

This book marks the return of Sheriff Nick Thomas who we first met in the previous book "The Hunt." When a young woman is found brutally murdered, Nick's brother becomes the prime suspect. Nick travels to San Diego to help him out and find out just what's going on with Steve.

I enjoyed this one very much!

Eighteen-year-old Angie Vance was found wrapped in a garbage bag after being raped and tortured. Her body was dumped on the beach. As police detective Carina Kincaid delves into Angie's life, she finds a girl who lived dangerously. Carina's prime suspect is Steve Thomas, Angie's much-older boyfriend. When Steve learns of Angie's death, he calls his brother to help him. Nick Thomas is a sheriff in Montana. He knows his brother would never rape and murder anyone, and is determined to clear him of the crime. When another body is found, Carina welcomes Nick's expertise on hunting a serial killer.

This is the first book in Allison Brennan's Evil series. Nick appeared in a past book where he was hunting a serial killer but ended up getting captured himself. He is still suffering from the injuries he received and questioning if he should run for re-election as the Sheriff in his hometown. Carina is a smart cop. She works well with her partner, Will, and knows that Nick will give the cops an advantage when hunting a serial killer. I liked Carina's family and am happy to see they appear in the next couple of books. My rating: 4 Stars.

The murder of eighteen-year-old Angie Vance was exceptionally vile - her mouth was sealed with glue, and obscenity was scrawled across her skin, and she was suffocated in a garbage bag. The killing seems personal, so police detective Carina Kincaid focuses her efforts on the victim's much older ex-boyfriend, Steve Thomas. But without physical evidence, Carina can't make a collar or a case. She also can't stop Sheriff Nick Thomas, the prime suspect's brother, from conducting his own unwelcome investigation.

Though Nick is still scarred and unsteady from a recent confrontation with a serial killer, he's determined to prove his brother's innocence. But his confidence is shaken when he learns of Steve's dark side, and when a friend of the murdered girl meets a similarly gruesome fate. With no time to lose, Carina and Nick work together to trap a psychopath, before another unlucky woman faces an unspeakable end.
