About the book:

Her eyes snap open and she takes in the snow-covered forest around her. She can’t remember how she got here, and a dark figure is running toward her. She doesn’t have time to scream before he’s upon her…

When Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy, David Kane, hear reports of a plane crashing into the mountains that surround Black Rock Falls, their hearts shatter. Their friend’s blonde-haired teenage daughter, Julie, was on that flight. They won’t sleep until they bring Julie home to her distraught family.

A blizzard closing in, Jenna pushes on with the search until, just beyond the snow-capped trees, she finds the plane. She falls to her knees at the sight of the lifeless bodies, still buckled into their seats. But one passenger is missing: Julie has vanished…

Racing into the remote forest, Jenna finds heavy footsteps around the crash site which are too big to be Julie’s. Someone was here before them. Following the prints, Jenna’s pulse races as she finds the bodies of three young women hanging from the tall pine trees, their limbs frozen, their faces lifted to the sky above.

When the victims are identified, Jenna notices that each girl had long blonde hair when they went missing, just like Julie. But when they were found in the forest, their hair had been cut, their looks changed forever. Is a twisted killer preying on girls who he can manipulate before their death? Could Julie be his next victim? With snow piling up around them, Jenna doesn’t have long to find Julie alive. Can she track down this monster before he takes his next innocent life?

Readers of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, will be absolutely blown away by this totally addictive crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood.

My Review

I know I say this a lot about these long running police procedural series I read, but I really do love this series.  The getting to know the characters and watching them grow ups the ante when the case becomes personal.  When Wolfe’s daughter is on a plane that went down in the snowy mountains, the team jumped in to track the downed plane and save his daughter.  Along the way, they find the calling card of a serial killer and they then have to split their focus on this new case while still hunting for Wolfe’s daughter.  Of course there would be a serial killer in Black Rock Falls. I would really have to move if I lived there.

Another layer of personal in this case is Jenna is pregnant (finally) and they’re searching for their friend’s missing daughter.  I like this full circle that is subtle but also in your face.  The complex layered plot with multiple storylines doesn’t feel crowded and by the end, I was satisfied with how it ended.

After 23 books, I am always amazed when the series doesn’t feel old or tired.  I’m not sure how the author keeps coming up with these great ideas for plotlines but I am impressed.  While Alton and Kane are always at the center of the book, I love how each book also showcases another character and I get the chance to know a little more about them.

The book is fast paced and suspenseful and once I picked it up, I could not put it down.  I was guessing right up until the end.

The books can be read out of order, but once you read one, you will want to read them all.
