A unique and intense thriller. Readers will be left captivated as the second deadly sin is brought life in unexpected ways.

Both well-written and well-developed, the plot arc sped on by with perfect pacing. Readers can expect to be gripped and kept hooked as the tension doesn't drop.

An impressive second stand-alone series installment from Rachael Tamayo. (

Recently separated from her cheating husband, Wren Addison agrees to go out with a co-worker for a drink or two.

The morning after, she wakes up in a blood-soaked bed with no memory of what happened. She knows she's been assaulted .. was she drugged?

She stays quiet and doesn't report it to the police ... until other bizarre things happen ... like the notes, the texts, the pictures.

What she learns is that there is a serial killer on the loose, with a history of killing six women ...and she's on his hit list to be number 7.

Someone is going to die .... but she's determined it won't be her.

This is a tightly woven plot featuring a woman literally fighting for her life. Who is this killer? There are several credible suspects ... and the story races to the totally unexpected ending. Although 2nd in the series, this is easily read as a stand alone.

NOTE: According to the publisher Carnal Knowledge does not include: Explicit Sexual Scenes, or other trigger situations. It does contain: Excessive Strong Language, Graphic Violence, & Rape scenes.

Many thanks to the author / Tangled Tree Publishing / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This was the best mystery so far. The thrills and fears were even better than Rachael Tamayo's debut. Each Tim I though I figured it out, I was proven wrong..
