A former soldier and a trained sniper, Huck’s thirst for blood is rivaled only by his fierce pursuit of Laurel. He’s been burned by love, wounded by the government, and betrayed before, and to say he has trust issues is the ultimate understatement. Plus, he might be closer to this killer than anybody knows.
Once in the heart of darkness with Huck, Laurel must negotiate her distracting desire for him, her complex rapport with Abigail—and her mission to find a serial killer among a growing list of suspects and a danger that’s far too close to home. So close in fact, Laurel fears she will never find her way back to the woman she once was.
Rating: 5 stars
Review: I'm not typically a fan of a series that features the same lead characters in each book, but I really enjoyed Ms. Zanetti's Deep Ops books (a series that featured different lead characters in each book, but with an interwoven storyline), so I decided to give this new series a try. I'm really glad I did. It takes a lot for me to like a character enough to want to stick with them through several books, but I can honestly say that I like Laurel enough that I will do so. Her character is unique and interesting enough that we as readers will stay engaged as the author peels away the layers and lets us see more of her in each installment. And the same is true of Huck. I actually liked Laurel right from the start, and my likeness of her only grew. I vacillated with Huck, however, liking him one minute and wanting to throat punch him the next. The story itself is captivating and kept me flipping pages furiously. Overall, this is a great start to what I believe will be an outstanding series--and one that would translate very well to a TV series. The only negative that I can see is that I'll have to wait patiently (not my strong suit) for each book instead of being able to binge right from the beginning.
