Ratings and reviews

(4.5) What a great start to a new series. Suspense, intrigue with a slight hint of romance. it starts off with a murder and it just keeps on going. Love the interplay between Aria (the new kid on the FBI team) and the rest of the team. Her knowledge and willingness to work with other law enforcement members, never realizing shes got game. I think Grayson is a hunk :) The real corker is his intelligence, his pain with the a sister who is a drug addict, his willingness to be there, to help and the knowledge that you don't give money tp an addict, any addict, you feed their addiction when you do. It was one fast ride and the culprit at the end was a tad surprising. Thank you for the arc Carol Ericson! I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.

This looks likes it's going to be a great series. I enjoyed this first book and being introduced to the characters. It centers on a group of FBI people who are good in particular areas and they are dispatched to different areas when crimes happen. Two women have been killed and have the exact same IDs and similar looks. The TCD is called in to find out who killed them and how they are tied together. The second woman had a baby with her and that turns out to be the nephew of Grayson Rhodes who was "undercover" as a dockworker trying to find info on his sister. He's not law enforcement but he just wants to find his sister. Aria Caletti works for the TCD and I love the chemistry between her and Grayson. As they work together, along with the other TCD members, can they bring down the drug kingpin responsible for the women's deaths? I was rooting for Aria and Grayson all along. Aria is the rookie in the bunch but she feels confident that she can use her past knowledge to help out. I recommend this book!
