A great ending to a great series. More to come soon...

I really enjoyed the ending to this book. I wish I could get what happens after all of this though! The mystery of it was in a good balance to the answers we are given, the plot moved quickly, and it didn't drag on for unnecessary lengths. The characters, as always, were well developed and their relationships were fun to witness. I highly recommend this series.

The ending
All I can say about this is that:
1. I took my time reading it so I could really appreciate it
2. The relationships in the book felt so really and I was completely invested in them.
And 3. The ending, wow. My mind was blown and I've had to start the next one straight away. I had no idea what was coming. I love James Patterson but he took me by surprise with this one.

Michael seemed miscast
After rewatching this film recently, it seemed to me Michael J. Fox was trying to hard to show his dramatic range which worked well in Casualties of War, but not this film.

Michael stars as an alcoholic/drug addict who can't do anything right in relationships or his job.

Maybe if the story would've been more engaging I wouldn't have minded as much. Not bad, but kind of forgettable as well.

A thrilling debut novel about a mother, a son, his girlfriend and the consequences of a lie told in desperation. The dynamics of the females in this relationship are twisted, a kind of domestic darkness played out on a believable backdrop of upper class Kensington and council house Croydon. A chilling account that will make you value your relationships with your in-laws, the fast pace and compelling drama will keep you reading until the wee hours

I adore this series of books, Rachel Caine is a very talented author. I love how different the vampires in her series act from the ones in other books I've read, they're not to be admired and loved, they're to be feared. The main character Claire is definitely how you'd imagine a begrudged hero if the day and the relationships built between all the characters makes you feel like you're part of it as you read.

There is so much out there on this stuff I was reluctant to watch. Now I'm hooked! Not for people who are offended by language and pretty graphic descriptions of violent crimes. I like how they delve into the personal lives of each task force member to see how listening to these serial killers is so emotionally draining and seriously affecting their relationships. Fascinating look into how profiling and forensics have evolved since the 70's.

I enjoyed this series but it's not as good as the book! Was quite taken aback by the difference between them actually, but nonetheless, the psychology was incredible, especially when concentrating on Holden Ford. Would definitely recommend the book though, you get to enjoy the difference cases in more detail
