A serial killer on the hunt opens the door to a woman’s terrifying past in a pulse-pounding thriller by the author of The Lost Victim.

Three years ago, Kate Doyle escaped a serial killer who died at the hands of her rescuers. FBI consultant and psychologist Ryan Strickland helped Kate rebuild her life, and the case was closed on the Rose Reaper’s seven victims—the six who were killed and Kate, the one who got away.

Today, Kate has a good man in her life, a secure job, and hope. But her dreams for the future become a nightmare when a copycat killer starts hunting. One by one, with each new body, comes a gift for Kate: a single red rose. And then the warning: See you soon.

If clues to his identity are buried in Kate’s memories, Ryan can unearth them. As they dig into Kate’s traumatic past, they’d better work fast. Because someone is finishing what the Rose Reaper started—and he’s hell-bent on making sure that this time, the seventh victim doesn’t get away.

the story was good, it kept you thinking. there were some mistakes in the narration but you could follow the story but your brain might do a quick replay and correction. there were a few things that didn't make sense but it's fiction and for entertainment so you roll with it. the overly graphic sexual assault was unnecessary and I skipped through them butthe overall story was decent.

a little too graphic in some areas

Someone has taken up where a dead serial killer left off…women are being abducted and murdered and a corresponding rose is left for the lone survivor. FBI consultant, Ryan Strickland, returns to help catch the copycat killer. Good story and takes a while to guess the identity of the killer. Looking forward to the next story.

Good police procedural

Although Ryan Strickland is an FBI consultant, there is plenty of detective work to satisfy. His professional relationship with Kate Doyle, a victim in the first two books in this series is amazing. One of the best series I’ve listened to.

Love great detective work

This the second book in the Ryan Strickland series and I gotta say I think I liked this one better than the first one. Don’t get me wrong both books were great but this one just has everything for me. Ryan is a wonderful character and I hope there are more books in his series. The way he talks to people and helps them in a gentle way makes him an incredible character. Kate was such a well written character and I enjoyed going through everything with her. Highly recommend this book! The narration was pretty good as well,

This was a good one.

I listened to both books, and liked the growth in the detective as he helps the FBI solve murders. He’s respectful and insightful. The story has twists and turns.

Appealing characters, good story

I could do without the somewhat descriptive sexual assault scene to start the story but I did like the story better than the first book in the series.

Better but serious trigger warning

I thought this book had a different take on the serial killer plot line, letting one victim live and bringing in a psychologist with the FBI, but it was just a typical serial killer story to me. I found no real surprises or suspense. And OK read.

Call serial killer story

I was so excited to start this book, having just finished Book 1, that I bought it outright, not waiting for my next Credit. I was sorely disappointed.

The story started off pretty dark, even though that’s the genre, The main “victim”character was really enjoyable, having survived horror and come out strong and resilient, someone to respect. But the character of Ryan was so pitiable and weak, timid and boring. He lost all of his heroic qualities from Book 1. And the relationship he enters into with Holly is so childish; it was sweet, but the back-and-forth conversations between them was frustrating and way too drawn out.

The worst part, to me, was the convoluted and entirely unbelievable explanation of the ending with the star victim. Her end-of-story monologue was repetitive and just completely nonsensical, a horribly disappointing wrap up. And the final words at the very end … miserable.

I just cannot recommend that you spend your hard-earned money on this one. It was a huge disappointment.

Terrible Follow Up to Book 1
