He watches. He waits. He strikes.

A boyfriend she’s just ditched. Or is he a stalker?
A triple murder. Who is doing such hideous things to the bodies?
Someone out there knows.
And he’s desperate to be the man in the house.
I want to say thank you to Emmy Ellis and Mel Comley for writing this amazing and haunting start to the series. I've never read anything by Emmy Ellis before, but her collaboration with Mel Comley was a spark of genius.
This starts off as it means to go on. Bringing the reader RIGHT into the book. When you start it, it WON'T let go. It brings the characters into your own head and makes you feel like you are RIGHT there with them. DI Helena Stratton has a past, which you find out as you read the book as to what happened to her. Her partner DS Andy Mald is a weird one at the start and YES I did wanna throttle him lol. The case they are given is strange at 1st but as the book carries on, you still don't know who the killer is. It isn't til near the end does it all unravel and BOY does it unravel. Be careful what you wish for, because with this book, YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!
Loved the style of the book and can't wait to read book 2 when it comes out. Mel Comley and Emmy Ellis are 1 heck of a team to write this series.

I would like to thank A.L. Long and Booksirens for allowing me to read and review this book. I read this within a couple of hours as I knew where the story had carried on from.

I would like to thank Booksirens and Kelley Kaye for allowing me to read and review this 1st in a series. I found this rather not as interesting as I had hoped. Some characters was downright boring. Didn't quite understand them and what was happening. I finished it as I wanted to know what happened at the end.
Sorry to those who did enjoy this author's book, but it wasn't for me this time.
