About this listen

The darkness closed around her. She tried to clear her vision, but there was no light, no noise, nothing. Only the emptiness, the echoing sound of being alone. Fear pulsed through her. The man had come out of nowhere. Who was he? Blinking away tears of frustration, in the pitch black she felt the floor and walls surrounding her. Cold. Steel. Bars.

Detective Ellie Reeves heads into the wilds of the Appalachian Mountains when she wants to get lost - to forget the whispers chasing her and the past that keeps her up at night. She’s sick of having to prove herself to her small town.

But hiking in the endless miles of woods isn’t the escape she was hoping for. One night, as dusk falls, a gust of wind blows some petals on to Ellie’s path. Following the trail, she finds a golden-haired young woman dead on a bed of daffodils, with a note: Monday’s child is fair of face.

When Ellie emerges from the forest, there is a message on her phone. Someone has sent her a picture of her colleague, Officer Shondra Eastwood, with the words: Can you find her, Detective Reeves? Ellie is racked with guilt - while she was busy hiding from life a killer was on the loose, and he has taken her beloved friend.

The wilderness, and its shadows, are the perfect hunting ground for a criminal - but what does the sinister nursery rhyme mean? It soon becomes clear when another dead woman, Tuesday’s Child, is found.

Ellie is up against a serial killer who will claim a victim for every day of the week, and in the next twenty-four hours there will be another body. As this ruthless murderer closes in on her, can she save more innocent women - and Shondra - from his clutches? Or will he get to Ellie first?

An utterly gripping and completely breathless crime thriller for fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh.

How many blows to the head

How many blows to the head leading to being knocked out? that’s all I keep thinking, every time the main character gets hit in the head once again, and knocked out once again??It’s beginning to be a little unrealistic, but I am hooked on the story. It gets a bit old when the tough main character constantly appears to unrealistically be getting into situation where she seems to need saving. I’m not expecting her to be a black belt or anything. Maybe just smart enough not to get into situations alone. Making the character self reliant just a little would feel more real. The story can still be super exciting and plot twisting without the main character constantly getting knocked out and needing to be saved every time. EVERY TIME

Good book and wonderful narration..

Wow! What an abrupt ending. I mean, it was a good book but I hate stories that end so suddenly. It was a good story about a man who liked killing young women but leading them around in dog collars before killing them so brutally. I can tell you the the same thing happened in both books: Ellie Reeves got the shit kicked out of her time and time again.

There was no romance and the F-bomb was used 19 times.

As for the narration: Love, love, love Tanya Eby. When she read women sound like women and men sound like men.

Action Packed

This is the second in the series, but I think it could be a stand-alone. There are a lot of twists and turns with this that go all the way to the end.

Narrative to fast, but story was great

I had to slow the speed of the narrarator down bc she read to fast. the story was excellent and didn't want to stop reading! Can't wait to see what lays ahead for Ellie and the AT.

Please get a new narrator

This author has some very intriguing stories and some of the characters are well developed. But #1- the narrator is atrocious. It really sounds like Siri is trying to read the book. Weird pronunciations and a truly awful Southern accent really distract from the story. And #2- it’s not a suspenseful who-done-it if you only meet the bad guy in the last 30 minutes. 2 books in a row of this series don’t introduce the villain until the absolute end of the book. There are tiny mentions of things to come but it’s not enough to make you feel invested

Good story

It’s a good story but the narrator leaves something to be desired. I don’t want to add a spoiler so let’s just say since she blames herself in for everything in the first book in the series and this one it starts to get tiresome.

That it was very corny.

I felt like it was too predictable and not really suspenseful. Enough like it was too corny.

warning: narrator is terrible

I'm on chapter 6 and I'm not sure I can finish. the narrator is so robotic it's distracting from the story. I see the same narrator reads all these books so I'm not sure if I will be able to finish the series, or even this book. be sure to listen to the sample before purchasing this book. I will update my overall review of the book once I finish, if I'm able to finish .
ok.....Spoiler alert.......... I absolutely HATE when all of a sudden there is a new character in the story. my own personal opinion.....but even so, the narrator is absolutely TERRIBLE....so robotic. I doubt I will listen to the next book, only because the narrator is so terrible.

Just before the end

I would have rated the book higher, but for being able to turn lights on in a burning building! Not possible.
