I didn’t realize this was a sequel so I stopped reading and went to the first one and I’m glad I did.

An excellent mystery with likable characters.

We are back in the Smokey Mountains with Rileigh, Mitch, and the rest. Four women, who believe they are witches, have a fire in the middle of town and a riot starts. Now one of the girls has been found hanging from a tree, dead. Mitch and Rileigh start questioning people and talk to the other three women that were with her. The Christian’s of the town are in an upheaval. A man shows up to open a satanic church.
When a second woman is found hung up on a cross, in a church, the remaining two women are totally scared because they think they have summoned a demon. But it’s not a real demon just someone with hate in their heart. Can they find the killer before the remaining two girls are killed?
Now I figured out who the killer was pretty fast. Jillian, Mama and Rileigh are all living together and Jillian gets upset because Rileigh is helping Mitch. Religious fanatics. No sex. Just suspense and mystery. Cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read the next book.

What a fabulous crime book! I just wish Rileigh had a legitimate place in the police force.
I was gripped by this story, it was fast paced, and extremely suspenseful. The character devolopment is very good, and there are twists and secrets to keep the reader flipping pages to see what happens next!

I highly recommend this book, and my rating is a solid 5/5. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
