This is a gripping thriller. Story is well written. I wanted to keep turning the pages to see what was going to happen! Will be looking for more from Deborah Rogers!

Just weeks away from giving birth, New York prosecutor Amelia Kellaway is about to interview Oregon serial killer, Rex Hawkins, a man who has tormented her for years. Amelia has no other option--Rex insists she hears his confession otherwise he'll take the details of the string of rapes and murders he's committed to his grave.

Truth be told, Amelia wants to do it. She wants to show Rex Hawkins she's no longer the same person he victimized all those years ago. She's stronger now, braver, smarter and she's determined to get him to tell her everything he knows.

But is Amelia underestimating Rex? What underlies all his talk of redemption and seeking forgiveness? Could he be planning something? And if so, what? As Amelia's due date gets closer and the pressure mounts, events spiral out of control, thrusting both her and Rex onto a devastating final trajectory in which only one of them survives.

This latest installment in the Amelia Kellaway series is packed with suspense. I like how the author wrote this from the POVs of both Amelia and Rex. It was a good balance and served the story well.

Prosecutor Amelia Kellaway, although just weeks away from giving birth, agrees to interview serial killer, Rex Hawkins. Rex insists she hears his confession otherwise he’ll take the details of the string of rapes and murders he’s committed to his grave.

Amelia was his last victim ... the only one to survive.

Rex says he has found God in prison, and wants a chance for redemption. He says he's sorry for the victims he took and their families. Is he on the level ... or is there something else that he's planning?

Events spin out of control creating chaos and havoc .... and more deaths.

This thriller is loaded from start to finish with page turning action and suspense. The plot is skillfully written with deftly drawn characters. Although this is 3rd in the series, it is easily read as a stand alone. I do recommend reading them in order because Amelia is such a compelling figure.

The fact that Amelia, so close to delivery, was allowed to run around a forest .... be involved in physical fights, etc. Not so credible in my opinion. I did drop the rating to 4.5.

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

haven't read any of these books I. This series and didn't know it was a series until I looked it up. I would advise reading the previous two so your up to date on what is going on the history of the two main characters. New York prosecutor Amelia Kellawa is getting ready to interview Rex, a serial killer. Amelia was one of his victims but managed to survive. He is going to confess all of his killings but he will only confess to Amelia. This book was an intense book to get through. Thank you to Netgalley and Lawson Publishing for my honest review.
