He studies monsters. She shares DNA with one. Now they’re hunting a copycat killer determined to finish what her twin brother started.
As a former rescue squad firefighter, Dallas Garrity knows danger when he sees it. As the newest behavioral analyst for the Remington Police Department, he knows evil when he sees it, too. When a body turns up with all the signatures of the city’s most notorious serial killer, Dallas knows he must break the case and bring Ezekial Murphy’s copycat killer to justice.
He just never expected he’d have to work with the one person who almost broke him to do it. Wren is rapier sharp. A highly dedicated police officer. Passionate. Fierce. Gorgeous.
She’s also Ezekial Murphy’s twin sister.
Wren Lennox is no stranger to hard work. After all, she had to bury herself in it just to prove her worth after her brother murdered a dozen rookie cops five years ago. Being paired with Dallas to catch a copycat isn’t ideal, but she’s hidden her feelings for him before. She’ll do whatever it takes to get this job done.
No matter how much Dallas knows about her past. No matter how much she still wants him now.
As secrets unravel and their chemistry burns hotter than ever, Dallas and Wren must stay a step ahead of not one killer, but two. Before it’s too late for them both.

Review:
Wren and Dallas’s story kept me turning the pages! Theirs is a twisty suspense story with a solid second (almost-first? their original chance barely even got started six years ago before their world imploded) chance romance helped along by a whole lot of close proximity. Ms Kincaid used a first person POV (the rest of the story is in third person) for the copycat killer’s perspective, keeping their identity cleverly hidden until just before the men and women of the RPD Intelligence unit figured it out themselves.
I did appreciate that Wren and Dallas figured out where their relationship was waylaid originally fairly early on, without getting everyone bogged down in too much misunderstanding and angst–obviously these two have a good thing going on, and I enjoyed watching them start to develop their real relationship sooner rather than later.
While it’s super clear that most of the people surrounding them as they race to catch the killer have already had their own stories told (this is the third book in this series, but it’s also related to previous series as well), it did work just fine as a standalone. And now I have plenty more stories to add to my TBR 🙂
Rating: 4 stars / A-
