My review

Casey Fallon was fifteen years ago a key witness in the trial of a serial killer. As the killer was also the father of her boyfriend, that also meant the end of her relationship.
Currently she is working as a radio presenter and is avoiding steady relationships. When one day she receives a weird call on the radio, she thinks it’s just a prank. But when a woman’s body is found, it’s clear that someone remembers what happened fifteen years ago and is looking for revenge and will not stop until Casey has been punished for her involvement.

When I finished reading the prologue and the ‘Then’ bit, I thought I already had an idea who the new serial killer would be.
But that didn’t diminish my eagerness of reading the complete story!
And was I happy that I did!

In the ‘Then’ part I really felt sorry for Casey. While she is thinking about how her relationship with Gareth is going, she finds herself witnessing how his father is trying to kill a woman.
Obviously she does the right thing, but this event has a huge impact. Not only does she understand how a seemingly normal man has a wicked secret, but also she becomes more frightful. And the way Gareth reacts, only reinforces her feelings.

Even if the ‘then’ was something terrible to read about, the present was even more terrifying. We get a glimpse of how the killer thinks, and his thoughts are just horrible.

There are so many cringe – worthy moments, where I was doubting what I wanted to do. Put the book away, because of the horror? Or keep on reading, hoping for the victim that rescue was nearby?

Even is Casey is faced again with a serial killer, that is not the only blast from the past she gets. When she contacts the police, little does she know that Finn will be coming in her life again, the same police officer that was there fifteen years ago.
And this re – meeting with Finn is what takes the pressure off the whole story.

I can say so much about this book, but then I would give too much away, and the less you know before you read it, the better.
What I can say that there are many twists, and I found myself suspecting everyone that made an appearance.
But when the truth came out, I can honestly say that I didn’t see *that one* coming!

To say this was an entertaining story, would be wrong in so many senses. But I can assure you it will be nearly impossible to put the book away. Whenever I did it, for the necessary sleep a human needs, I found myself keeping pondering over this story, trying to figure it out.
This is a real page – turning story, with many moments that gave me goosebumps, but also lighter moments, giving the opportunity to digest everything.
