Good book that kept me wondering exactly who the killer was. I really liked Genny and Dallas. I also loved Jazzy and this new mysterious guy that showed up three quarters the way through the book. Will have to read more books to find out.

Kinda boring and formulaic, but good story, if the grammar had been better. Would change scenes constantly, without a break.
I have loved all of the books by this author
great read
Fast paced action kept you turning until the last page.
Enjoyed the twists with the psyche of the killer, kept you on your toes. The romance between Dallas and Genny was very unique and different.
