I always request books from this author. I wasn't disappointed this time either! I can't wait to see how she will top my expectations.

This review is not going to be long. I am not a huge fan of a review rehashing the entire plot and spoiling it for everyone.

This is the first of her books that I have read. I was truly entertained by this book. I like how she put the action and suspense into her books. I would totally recommend this book to anyone that loves a great read!

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a great, fast-paced thriller about two serial killers at large. I loved both of the main characters, and there were some great twists! I will definitely be going back and reading the other books in this series!

3.25 stars- This is a pretty good police procedural/serial killer book. It boasts not one, but two serial killers and two main detectives. It wasn't perfect (why were some of the characters there at all?) and I had a little trouble with some of the plot points, but it kept me reading and reminded me of my eternal love of mysteries.

Two serial killers are loose on Nashville and Melina of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations finds herself entwined with both. FBI Agent Ramsey comes in to help her catch them. Melina's past seems to be connected somehow and they must piece together the puzzle before the killers get too close to them or disappear forever.

THANK YOU, oh THANK YOU, #AmazonFirstReads for introducing me to the fantastically talented, Mary Burton. This was my first novel by her and I am already researching which books to add to my TBR pile immediately!

It's no secret - I love serial killers. And I love a good book about CREEPY, get under your skin and stay awhile serial killers ... and this hit the nail on the head. What I also loved? This book solved 2 cases in 1 plot ... that were seemingly unrelated, but 100% connected. The main characters were very memorable, smart and skilled at their job. During many chapters, I felt like I was next to Melina and Ramsey in their squad car, chasing the suspect(s) and saving the day!

It takes a very skilled writer to pull off a faced-paced and intricate thriller that is heavy on police procedure (which I adore) and Mary did this with grace and a whole lot of expertise. I found it difficult to put this down, in all of the chaos of my life right now and that it a telltale sign of an incredibly well written novel. I'm the newest member of your fan club! Thank you for brilliant read!

This book started strong and then just kind of fizzled and struggled to keep my attention. Too many different things going on, maybe because it was a multiple in a series and not enough background was given? Either way a agent is working undercover attempting to catch a highly dangerous killer. Yet this story hits a little too close to home as they come across an abandoned child, and she was also abandoned as a child. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Most of this feels like "same old, same old". The case has a personal connection to the heroine, the serial killer also becomes obsessed with the heroine of course etc etc. The two main characters are also generic as hell. I've read May Burton before and found her work to be sufficiently unique but that's not the case here.
However, strong and smart female characters are rare enough that I have to give some points to the author for that.
Bottom line: Readable, but nothing special.

Never Look Back, was another fantastic read by the very talented Mary Burton. I think this one was very well executed. I look forward to reading more from her.

This is the third book in the 'Criminal Profiler' series. The action begins immediately when the reader is introduced to the unidentified serial killer at work, allowing initial insight into the perpetrator’s mind so they can see their innermost thoughts. Great suspense.

Wow this book was intense. I could not stop reading. Great book, it was like watching a crime drama. I love Mary Burton!

Never Look Back was an enjoyable read that features two engaging storylines that converge in an action-packed finale.

After several women go missing, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agent Melina Shepard goes undercover as a prostitute in the hopes of catching the man responsible. But when she narrowly escapes becoming a victim herself, she quickly uncovers evidence that points to her suspect being a serial killer. In over her head, Melina receives help from FBI agent Jerrod Ramsey to work the case. But when the pair get called to the scene of a car crash with grisly evidence in the trunk, the pair quickly discover they’re hunting two serial killers with very different motives.

Initially I expected a plot centered around two different serial killers to be a bit convoluted, but ultimately the author does a great job keeping the storylines separate. The storylines do eventually converge in large part due to Melina’s involvement, but it happens quite close to the end of the book. Both storylines were interesting and I didn’t favor one over the other as is usually the case in a book with two plotlines. I was invested in finding out who the killers were and I actually was surprised by how early that information was revealed. The ending of the book was action-packed and I liked the way the author wrapped up both plots.

Melina’s character was interesting and definitely the strongest in the book. Abandoned as a child on the side of the road, Melina was adopted and her experiences as well as having a cop as her adoptive father led to her choosing a career in law enforcement. Melina’s background plays a big role in this book and I was curious what direction the author was going to take things. Ultimately I liked how the connection to Melina’s past played out. The romance in this book develops very late in the book, which isn’t that unusual for this author’s books based on most of the ones of hers I’ve read. Personally I enjoyed the addition of the romance and I liked that it took time for it to develop.

Overall I ended up really liking Never Look Back and I highly recommend this author’s books if you’re looking for great suspense with just a touch of romance.

First time I have read one of her books. I didn't realize this was part of a series until I had finished the book. It was easy to get into and very intriguing.

Melina Sheppard is a TBI Agent, looking for two missing prostitutes. Little does she realize that she has barely escaped a serial killer. While dealing with her boss and an FBI agent, Jerrod, she gets tied into another serial case that hits very close to home.

If you are like me and like good serial murder books, don't pass this one up.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and author for the Kindle Version for my honest opinion.

Mary Burton did another great job of having a thrilling read. I would definitely recommend this book to readers of suspense novels. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

After multiple women go missing, Agent Melina Shepard of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation makes the impulsive decision to go undercover as a prostitute.
Enter lone wolf FBI agent Jerrod Ramsey. Stonewalled by a lack of leads, he and Melina investigate a scene where a little girl has been found abandoned in a crashed vehicle. They open the trunk to reveal a horror show and quickly realize they’re dealing with two serial killers with very different MOs.
This is the 3rd book of the series but I didn't read the other 2 and still understood what was going on.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book and even though it says romantic suspense there was more suspense for me than romance and the romance didn't take away from what was going on.
I received this from NetGalley for review.

I typically love Mary Burton, and this Criminal Profiler series is no different. But, NEVER LOOK BACK just had so much going on. Two serial killers? That's okay, though, because I'm certain whatever comes next will be back on pointe.

This was my first time reading a book by Mary Burton and Never Look Back hooked me from the start.

The story is about TBI agent Melina Shephard who is investigating a potential serial killer. FBI agent Jerrod Ramsey is sent in to assist since he has been following this killer for years. During their investigation, another serial killer comes to light. Melina and Jerrod work hard to find both killers before it's too late.

This was a fun read. Well written. Held my interest. Just an enjoyable read overall.

I would recommend this book to my friends and family for sure!

Talk about an intense page turner! Great job! And it’s addictive! Couldn’t put it down! This is an author I most definitely want to follow!

A well written thrilling adventure with loads of unexpected highs and lows. It lures you in slowly but really gets it's hooks into and won't let go.

This is the third in the series but certainly can be a stand alone. The series wraps around Agent Melina Shepard. Melina goes undercover as a prostitute and is barely able to escape an attack from who will soon be identified as a serial killer. In comes FBI agent Jerrod Ramsey who has been trying to catch the killer.

I enjoy a book that can stump me. And while I was close to all the answers some surprised me.

Mary Burton has become one of my favorite authors and I always grab her books as quickly as I can. And this is another great story by the author.
