Synopsis:

 

A Serial Killer Plagues an Island Paradise... Vigilante detective Emily Stone continues her covert pursuits to find serial killers and child abductors, all under the radar while shadowing police investigations. Emily searches for an abducted nine-year-old girl taken by ruthless and enterprising slave brokers. Following the clues from California to the garden island of Kauai, she begins to piece together the evidence and ventures deep into the jungle.  It doesn’t take long before Emily is thrown into the middle of murder, mayhem, and conspiracy. Locals aren’t talking as a serial killer now stalks the island, taking women in a brutal frenzy of ancient superstitions and folklore. Local cops are unprepared for what lies ahead. In a race against the clock, Emily and her team must identify the killer before time runs out. 

 

Emily and her team are after a killer, who is the prime example of a psychopath.  I obviously read this book out of order, for it is the 3rd on in the series - 1. Compulsion 2. Dead Game.  I'm not sure if it ruined the previous two for me, but I do know I absolutely hate doing that.  Emily is not only tracking a killer who knows how to blend in with society, but dealing with a love triangle of her own.  Who would not fall in love on a beautiful island as the author painted it so wonderfully with words? Well, I forgot to mention it is filled with horrible people so that takes the beauty back a step.  The story line itself went very fast, often leaving me thinking I skipped pages because there was no way I was ahead of that. This book is available in both Kindle and Paperback versions, so you can have your pick!
