happy hump day!
well this will be my last post of the year! I am taking a little bit of a break until January 5. I know Christmas is looking a little different for all of us this year but I hold out hope that next Christmas will be the best one ever!â¤ď¸đ
My Thoughts
A dark and creepy tale. This is the third book in Noelle Holtenâs DC Maggie Jameson series; and Iâd have to say the BEST YET! I also have to say Noelle youâre starting to scare me a little, whatâs going on in that brain of yours? The book picks up right where the last book ended. A dead body is discovered that bares an uncanny resemblance to one of Maggieâs friends. relieved to find out it was not her friend, but concerned that this is no coincidence Maggie puts her all into the case. but as the bodies start falling it looks as though the killer is escalating. What is his end game and is Kate the true prize. A twisted and disturbing Game of cat and mouse. I could not figure out what the killer was playing at, I just knew he was one screwed up person. Maggie showed a little more emotion in this book. She generally keeps others and the reader at arms distance but it was nice to see a little more about her in this book. it was also nice to see some diversity with Maggie coming to terms with her sexuality. I am not certain they wouldâve kept Maggie on this case, I thought it was a bit of a conflict of interest, but hey itâs fiction. The investigation was intriguing and even though I read quite a few reviews that said the culprit was revealed early I truly had no idea who it was. And more than that I was very surprised by his motivation, not sure Iâve ever seen things play out like this before. another electric installment in this compelling series.
*** Big thank you to One More Chapter for my gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own. ***
