About this ebook

Set against the fan-favorite backdrop of Grizzly Falls, Montana, Chosen to Die pits two of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson’s most fascinating characters—detectives and friends Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli—against a ruthless serial killer who has chosen Pescoli as his next victim.

The cold of winter isn’t just a nuisance in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana. It’s merciless and brutal—a weapon that a twisted serial killer uses to torture vulnerable women. Detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez have spent months tracking down the Star-Crossed Killer, as he’s dubbed by the press. They know how devious and patient he can be. What they couldn’t have guessed is that Pescoli would be abducted by the very monster she’s been hunting . .  .
 
Pescoli knows too much about her captor and his methods to doubt her fate. She’s a trophy he’s content to taunt for now, but eventually, he’ll tire of her too. Until then, his killing spree continues, stretching the police department—and Alvarez—to the breaking point.
 
Desperate to bring her missing partner safely home, Alvarez teams up with Pescoli’s on-again, off-again lover, Nate Santana. But as the body count rises, a macabre pattern emerges. And Pescoli, though using every ounce of skill she possesses, knows that even if she escapes her captor’s lair, the battle for survival is just beginning . . .

Ratings and reviews

I really liked the characters in this book. The way they were laid out was nice. Often authors throw too many characters at you all at once and it takes awhile to sort out who they are and who is doing what. In Chosen To Die Each character is revealed in good time and their part in the story can be built upon as the story moves along. The serial killer keeps the town and Sheriff's department in limbo as he continues his tirade of lashing women to trees in the frigid Montana wilderness. It a good plot, and I like the author's writing. My only criticism is that sometimes the author doesn't start a new chapter when called for or create a proper segway to a change in characters. In the beginning it was a little frustrating, but I got the hang of the writers style rather quickly. Good book for those who love this type of story like I do. 😐

It stopped abruptly and I could not get back to it or find where to go to find the next part.

Edge of my seat..great
