Book description:
A COVERT INVESTIGATION
A stalker attacks behavioral analyst Dr. Tori Crew at knifepoint, shattering the fierce independence she's built since her parents' unsolved murder. Forced into an off-the-books criminal investigation, Tori must push her expertise--and her fiercely guarded heart--to the breaking point as a killer's pattern emerges.
A LOOMING THREAT
Homicide detective Blade St. James has been Tori's friend and protector since childhood. Haunted by his own past of parental abandonment, Blade is determined to build a stable life and find the peace that always seems just out of reach. But when Tori's life is threatened, his guardian reflexes collide with everything he's been trying to build.
A HIDDEN MENACE
As the conspiracy rooted in Tori's past pulls them deeper, the boundaries of their friendship blur, and the truth neither can deny becomes impossible to ignore. Can they unmask the sophisticated serial killer before they become the final, fatal piece in the pattern?
My review:
I admit I got lost a bit on some of the talk of fractals and patterns...and even Googled fractals, but I still enjoyed this book. Blade (what a cool name) and Tori were very likable characters, and it made the story all the more interesting that they had been carrying a torch silently for each other for so long.
The plot was genius and intricate, but also easy enough to follow. And there were some definite surprises, such as a surprise named Niko...but I won't give that away, except to say I was so surprised I might say I was shocked.
There is a lot of drama, action, and suspense in this book. And it is one where you aren't always sure who the bad guys are.
This story also had the added bonus of having a cold case at the center of it, rooted in Tori's past.
Fatal Pattern had a very climatic ending that had me on the edge of my seat, even though I figured the good guys were going to win.
This was a very enjoyable suspenseful read that left me looking forward to the next book in the series.
Special thanks to the author for an advance copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
Fatal Pattern releases September 15.
