About this ebook

Her eyes snap open and she takes in the snow-covered forest around her. She can’t remember how she got here, and a dark figure is running toward her. She doesn’t have time to scream before he’s upon her…

 

When Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy, David Kane, hear reports of a plane crashing into the mountains that surround Black Rock Falls, their hearts shatter. Their friend’s blonde-haired teenage daughter, Julie, was on that flight. They won’t sleep until they bring Julie home to her distraught family.

 

A blizzard closing in, Jenna pushes on with the search until, just beyond the snow-capped trees, she finds the plane. She falls to her knees at the sight of the lifeless bodies, still buckled into their seats. But one passenger is missing: Julie has vanished…

 

Racing into the remote forest, Jenna finds heavy footsteps around the crash site which are too big to be Julie’s. Someone was here before them. Following the prints, Jenna’s pulse races as she finds the bodies of three young women hanging from the tall pine trees, their limbs frozen, their faces lifted to the sky above.

 

When the victims are identified, Jenna notices that each girl had long blonde hair when they went missing, just like Julie. But when they were found in the forest, their hair had been cut, their looks changed forever. Is a twisted killer preying on girls who he can manipulate before their death? Could Julie be his next victim? With snow piling up around them, Jenna doesn’t have long to find Julie alive. Can she track down this monster before he takes his next innocent life?  

 

Readers of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, will be absolutely blown away by this totally addictive crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood.

**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**

Ratings and reviews

This was a new to me author and one I'll definitely be reading more from in the future, including the next book in the series. Although I jumped into this series super late, and a couple of back stories piqued my interest, I wasn't lost for a second. In fact with multiple plot threads that I couldn't get enough of I was transfixed from cover to cover. I would definitely recommend this book no matter who picks it up.

Exciting: terrifying forays into a frozen wilderness🏔 4.5🌟 I really loved the fast pace and the double storyline dovetailing into one frigid challenge for Alton, Kane and their team. The switch from the serial killer case to the search for medical examiner Wolfe's teenage daughter Julie and back kept the suspense level high, and the blizzard, avalanche-inducing Montana backwoods setting is almost a separate character. This is a great addition to the series, easy to read. Highly recommend.

I loved the different perspectives of Jenna, Kane and their team, the serial killer, and Julie. Every time I turned the page, I felt a different emotion. I love the fast pace of the book. There was never a dull moment in the book. I really loved this! It's one if my favorites.
