About this ebook

A vigilante teams with a cop to stop a copycat killer in this romantic suspense thriller by the USA Today–bestselling author of No Darker Place.

Serial-killer hunter Nick Shade built his legendary career chasing monsters—sadistic criminals with a gruesome thirst for death. When he rescued Montgomery detective Bobbie Gentry from horrific captivity and helped her reclaim her life, he didn’t intend to be a hero. Or a target. But now a copycat murderer haunts him, and reuniting with Bobbie is his best chance at neutralizing the threat.

Bobbie can’t forget the nightmares of her trauma—or the man who saved her. Working with Nick to outmaneuver the person behind a deadly vendetta feeds her hope that there’s more to her world than ghosts and destruction. Maybe joining Nick’s search for a killer is about gratitude. Maybe it’s nothing more than cold revenge. But the only way they can protect themselves is to trust each other.

The first 2 books in this series are The Blackest Crimson and No Darker Place. I highly recommend reading these books in order. There are cliff hangers involved. Debra Webb is one of my favorite authors. She writes terrific Romantic Suspense ... light on the romance, heavy on the mystery, crime, suspense. And with this book, she has surpassed my expectations. The characters are believable, and situations are highly suspenseful. I'm waiting patiently for the 3rd book in this series.
