Max Revere investigates the crimes of a serial killer and the possibility that he isn’t working alone.
I have never experienced a character like Max Revere before. I love of good strong female lead, but Max has something different. She is determined, stubborn, confident, and caring. Seeing her almost break in the book was heart wrenching. Psychological trauma is dangerous and it never goes away.

This is a great mystery and we get to know a lot more about Max and what makes her tick. Brennan has a character in Max with a whole lot of layers and peeling them back is a reader's delight.
Maxine Revere is an investigative reporter and she is a very good one. She is stuck in court for the trial of Adam Bachman who is accused of murdering five people. Court duty is not Max's favorite thing, but there is something about Adam that just doesn't jive. She is much more concerned about an older coup ...more

While the first book in this series was just ok for me I really enjoyed this second one a lot!
The Good: Maxine was a little hard to like in the first book. As an investigative reporter she digs for the truth often to the point of causing some people emotional distress, like her family. In this one she is forced to acknowledge her shortcomings (and there are many). It was nice to see her so vulnerable. We also got to know more about David and Marco. Love David by the way.

Allison Brennan has become a must-read author for me.
Compulsion is the next intense mystery in the Max Revere series. Allison Brennan is continuing to develop Max and her intriguing character. We learn more of her traumatic background, especially her early years with her mother. I particularly like the way Brennan creates the world of controlled chaos that is a big part of Max’s investigative-reporter life.
The men in Max’s life play a big role in this book. We experience Maxine’s ex’s crazy need to control everything. We see more of David, the bo ...more
