FBI Agent Nikki Hunt is tracking the bodies of a serial killer known as Frost. After finding his most recent murder: childhood best friend Annmarie, Nikki begins to realise just how intimately connected these killing seem with her own past and begins to wonder if Frost is known to her after all.

Well, one positive thing I will say about this book is that the pace is supremely fast, in fact I read this book in around four hours total; the speed of my eyes reflecting the pace.

The author sure knows how to put the reader on the edge of their seat. I cannot fault the writing, or the plot. Both were well thought out, well-cultured, and made sense.

But I can fault the main character. This is the third book in the Nikki Hunt series so I expected some substance, however, in this case I felt irritated by Nikki's shortcomings: the connections I felt she could have made much sooner, and her decisions that felt like it put everyone around her at risk. I suppose what I'm trying to say is she did not feel like a seasoned FBI Agent to me, and it left me disappointed and craving some grit.

Please do not let my frustrations put you off, it is always a subjective matter on whether the reader will connect with the protagonist. In this case, it did not happen for me.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love this fast paced thriller. I couldn’t wait to find out the ending. I absolutely think any reader would like it.

When Special Agent Nikki Hunt is called to the Boundary Waters near Stillwater, Minnesota, it’s not just the cold that shocks her to her core: the body of a young woman has been found frozen beside a remote lake. Nikki is devastated to see the victim is her childhood friend Annmarie, and she recognizes the velvet ribbon tied in her hair as the hallmark of a serial killer who she has been hunting for years.

Desperate for justice, Nikki throws herself into the case. But she is shaken by what she finds at Annmarie’s home: a dead-bolt on her front door and a map in the spare room, with the locations of murdered women circled in thick, red marker. Did Annmarie know she was next? Then Nikki finds out that the killer has left a clue in Annmarie’s bedroom: a photo of Nikki’s mother that no one has ever seen. Has the murderer at large been in Nikki’s life since she was a child?

Nikki soon realizes that the key to unlocking this case is in her own family, but digging up the past could put her own daughter in danger. She has spent her whole life protecting the ones she loves, but to find this killer Nikki might have to risk everything…
This was a fast paced thrilling read! I found this to be a superb read, which kept me guessing and which kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Very good novelist.
