This is a dark erotic thriller intended for adult audiences.
The UNSUB has made contact.
After a rapid string of grisly murders shakes the usually peaceful city of Arlington, Virginia, the sadistic killings of young women lull into a deceptive calm. Agent Sadie Bonds knows the terror isn’t over; serial killers don’t stop until caught.
And this sadist has targeted the profiler, revealing pieces … profiler, revealing pieces of her dark past and weaving her secrets into each gruesome crime scene. Is the killer someone from Sadie’s past, her present? Or is he part of a fated future she brought on herself? The answer lies within the riddle of the copycat killings, ones mimicked after the infamous Blood Countess.
As tension brews in the department awaiting the UNSUB’s next move, Sadie’s more than on edge—her deviant cravings for the possible perpetrator have ratcheted out of control. She needs the feel of Colton’s ropes binding her, sheltering her from stark reality.
Only Colton Reed has his own twisted secrets that threaten to unravel not only Sadie as they come to light, but the UNSUB’s carefully constructed web now entangling both the profiler and her sexy bondage rigger.

Loving this book definitely made me want to read book three. Way better than book one and it gets better. Steamy romance, great BDSM scenes. Makes you realized that this world is not what people think it is.
Wow, I’m loving this series. Trisha does an amazing job describing the ropes scenes. I can’t wait for the finale.
OH MY!!! If you can’t handle deep and dark this book is not for you.
Sadie and Colton are back! And everyone is on high alert with emotions on edge and accusations flying. For some reason the UNSUB is targeting Sadie and they aren’t sure why. But she knows and she’s not ready to share.
When the Unsub starts to threaten those who Sadie cares about how far will she go to keep them safe. When Colton learns Sadie is being targeted by the Unsub how far will he go to keep her safe. Can they trust each other with their deepest darkest secrets.
I received a ARC from the author for an honest review. Trisha has a way with creating her characters and a storyline that sucks you in and grabs a hold of you throughout the book. This book will have you looking over your shoulder, holding your breath, give you the chills, second guessing, butterflies in your stomach and just begging for more. I can’t wait for the next one!
This was a great continuation from the last book! We have Sadie, the criminalprofiler, Quinn, her straight laced detective partner, and Colton, her BDSM partner/boyfriend/suspect! And several other minor characters as well. Surely Colton, the one man who’s managed to break thru her defenses, is not the bad guy in this book! But we’re left not knowing for sure at the end of the book. So now I need book 3 to find out for sure!
4.5 Stars – I NEED MORE!!
Can it get any more thrilling?! I can’t take no more! Some of my questions had been answered in this book but those hints were killing me! I really need to know who the killer is!!
I wasn’t a hundred percent sure if the killer was revealed or if the author was only teasing me. I really don’t know what to believe anymore. And the ending was the final blow!! Oh my! I need the next book right now!!
I’d thought it would be easier to get captivated by this story right from the start since my mind was still in this world after having finished the first book only a couple of days ago, but it took me a few chapters to get sucked in. Though after that bumpy start, it took off right into an edge gripping suspense. This was definitely better and more thrilling than the first book.
And the ending! Oh my God! The characters turned me on (who knew that rope play could be so damn hot?!), just to bring me down within seconds and have cold chills run through my entire body.
The Story:
Since the killer contacted Sadie, he can’t stay away. She has to watch her back now more than ever and it’s not only her being threatened. Though the questions remain the same, who was this guy?! Someone from her past? Someone who was obsessed with her?! And why?
After the way the first book ended I devoured part 2 and was ready to strangle the author with how she left this one hanging. This story and all the characters just grips you by the hairs and doesnt let go.
In the first book we know most of Sadie’s horrific past and how that made her become a profiler in the hopes of making sure what happened to her doesnt happen to other women. But there is an unsub out there committing heinous murders and its become clear Sadie has become his target.
In this installment in the series we finally find out Colton’s secret. And that’s all I’m going to say on that.
The investigation into who’s killing the women really kicks up a notch bringing with it some surprising revelations along with consequences about them.
This is at the core a hunt for a killer but its also a unique love story between a woman that survived a serial killer that now craves the darker side of sex and a man due to his own past needs the release of tying a woman up with rope. These two are very emotionally scared but have the most explosive sex together and really are perfect for each other.
The cliffhanger at the end of this about killed me but I’m learning to like a little pain with my reading and will gladly suffer until the next book.
