This was one fantastic suspense story and I could not put it down. I completed this in one sitting even though it was much too late and my eyesight was blurry but I just couldn't stop reading until I came to the end. I enjoyed everything about this book. The plot was well-paced and the characters terrifically developed. The description was detailed without being distracting. I found myself torn between feeling sorry for the antagonist and wanting to see him suffer as much as his victims. He was so complex and I couldn't help but applaud the fact that the author went beyond a cliched killer and introduced us to the creation of a true monster. Mark Wesson is a perfect hero; he has classic good looks a tragic past and he fights for injustice. What more could you ask for in a man? Erin is a strong heroine; someone I can relate to and look up to at the same time. I loved her niece Kayla, she was my favorite character in the whole story. Here was a genuine teenage girl, not some whiny little clotheshorse throwing a temper tantrum every ten seconds. I think I would recommend this to some mature fans of the Young Adult genre as they would probably enjoy it for the insight into a troubled teen. This is a must-read for those who enjoy romantic suspense.
