My Review:

Wow. First book by Harryman, I’ve read. The story is exceptionally written and tight. People can be a serial killer in many ways and this book is no exception. It’s completely different from any book I’ve read in the past. Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes. If one can kill and carve a symbol into the cheek of the dead, then they can act out any scene. But will they be caught?

Caron chills my blood to the maximum. It’s one thing to be a real abused wife, and a whole other thing to act out a script after stabbing your husband and watching him bleed out on the floor. Caron is a sociopath at best and much more than that. The lengths one will go just to keep what they have is crazy. Abused when a child, did that start Caron on the path she took in life? If given a choice, would the outcome be different? Stabbing a man in the chest in a calculated manner so you know you stabbed his heart, watching him bleed out on your kitchen floor, then deciding that what you just did was better than sex? Read to find out.
