About this listen

A serial killer lures a beautiful FBI agent into high stakes game of life and death in this romantic thriller by the New York Times bestselling author.

The game is simple: he is the Hunter; they are the Prey. He gives them a chance to escape. To run. To hide. To outsmart him. But eventually, he catches them. And that's when the game gets really terrifying . . .

Private investigator Griffin Powell and FBI agent Nicole Baxter know a lot about serial killers—they took one down together. But this new killer likes playing games with Nic and Griff. Every unsolvable clue, every posed victim, every taunting phone call—it's all part of his plan. But now the Hunter is changing the rules . . .

The brutal psychopath needs a worthy adversary. To him, Nicole is the most precious prey of all. And he won't stop until he gets his chance to hunt her down. Now, with his partner in a killer's sights, Griff is playing for the biggest stakes of his life.

Contains mature themes.

Love the series. Didn’t read in order. But love the characters is this series. Look forward to more Griffin Powell stories

Griffin Powell

By the time the "inevitable" happened, we were at the halfway mark. It was cool to finally dig into Grif's history, but I didn't expect so much of this volume to be focused on PTSD recovery and it took away from the mystery aspect of the story. Also didn't expect the villain to get so sloppy at the end - the last two chapters felt really rushed. I am glad we didn't get another "a year later" epilogue, though!

Unexpected pacing compared to rest of series

The narrator was fantastic! I have avoided reading this specific book in the series for a long time, but it fits thematically with the others. Suspenseful and engaging, the long read/listen is worth the payout at the end. However I stand by my opinion Nic Baxter & Griffin Powell are far too similar, too high-handed, and get far too messy in the continuation of the series to stay married.

These characters should be divorced. Still fun

Would like less graphic details of the abductions and murders but all in all a good story.

The villain in this book is beyond psychotic. I love the way Nick and Grifth were arch enemies and ended up falling in love with each other. Love wins again. I enjoyed this book so much I am about to listen to the whole series. If you’re looking for suspense and love this is the book for you.

As a Bookaholic & Audible afficianado I approve this book! I read a few reviews that nitpicked about little things, but I kept an open mind and went for it. Boy am I glad I did. I kept wondering how they were going to get through this book with that much time but it flowed easily, and kept me glued! Now on to the next one!

I really like this author. Not afraid to go into details. I love serial killer books with good romance.

Murder Game

Well, the missing 10 years in Griffin Powell's life is finally explained, as well as the mystery surrounding Evette and Sanders. This was a very good read. A great plot, with an ultra evil villain. Pudge and Pinky's killing spree is finally over. Two heinous villains get their just rewards and the games have ended forever. This is one you've got to read for yourself. This has been a great series so far, and after this book, I wonder if it could possibly get any better. Barton has a way of reeling you into her stories and holding you captive until the end. Highly recommend this one.

Finally, mystery solved.

the story is not as good as her others. there was not as much suspense or mystery, but it was still a good book. I do not like the narrator very much.
