It took me a month to finish this one and it wasn't because it wasn't any good, I just couldn't read it before going to bed or I would have had nightmares. I think this was the scariest so far for me. I didn't like Maura being in trouble, because even though she is really smart, she seems to think everyone has a good side. Some people are just pure evil like Sansone says.

I really did enjoy this one and didn't really know what the outcome was going to be until it was revealed. I did know who was ...more

Having said this, it was a good read and I plan to continue the series. ...more
