From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L.P.
Dover comes the crossover fans having been waiting for! Beloved characters from
her Armed & Dangerous and Circle of Justice novels come together in this
tantalizing new series!
A stranger waiting in the dark.
A ritualistic attack.
A wrongful arrest.
After surviving an attempt on her life, Kennedy moved to
Vermont in hopes of putting the nightmare behind her. The police assured her
the assailant was behind bars. They were dead wrong. The truth revealed itself
in a rash of grisly murders. Each victim bore a striking resemblance to
Kennedy. Each killed in the same fashion as her attack.
Launching a full-fledged manhunt, the police called me in.
My name is Reed Chandler, and I’m an expert on tracking the behavior of the
deranged. It doesn’t take long for me to realize it all traces back to Kennedy.
The killings are carving a path across the country, leading straight to her.
Determined to keep her safe, I refuse to leave her side. Am
I getting too close? Losing myself in the alluring charms of the school
teacher? I don’t care. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. Let the killer
come. The tables have turned, I know his plan.
What he doesn’t know is that I’m a trained killer... and now
I’m on the hunt.

Tonya's Review
4 Stars
This is part of the cross over series of Armed & Dangerous and Circle of Justice series. It is a stand alone, but I've loved all the books in each series.
This is Reed's book, and boy have I wanted his book. Especially since the previous book.
I liked Kennedy a lot. After her mom was brutally killed, and she was attacked, she held strong. she put up a fight. Yes, she was completely heartbroken and devastated. But she fought so she wouldn't end up like her mom.
Once Reed came into the picture, she still learned from him.
The bad guy wasn't who I thought it was. Usually I can tell who it is right away, but I was wrong this time. I love it when that happens.
The suspense was great, as was the build up.
This is a great read.
Excerpt
Her eyes blazed with
anger. “Why didn’t John tell me this could be done?”
“Because he doesn’t
know,” I answered. “Not many people do. We use special government technology.
With only a handful of people knowing how to access the satellites. Even so, we
can’t figure out every single murder case. There’s just not
enough time in the world. It’s important we keep this knowledge contained
otherwise it could be used against us.”
She scoffed. “So
what you’re saying is that in order to get the special treatment, I have to be
someone high up? Like the president or someone with a butt ton of money?” Her
hand shook and I could see the rage behind those hazel eyes of hers.
All in all, she was
right, but I couldn’t tell her that. But mostly it was because of the safety
issues of this type of technology getting into the wrong hands. “That’s not
what I’m saying, Kennedy,” I said, hoping to deflect her anger and not sounding
like I’m appeasing her. “I’m sorry this happened to you, but I’m here to help.
Even looking at the satellites doesn’t guarantee we’ll find the killer. It
takes a lot of calculated guesses and that’s where I come in. I go with my
gut.”
She blew out a
frustrated breath and her eyes softened. “I’m sorry. I wish you knew how hard
this was for me.” I understood what she was going through as I’d seen it time
and time again. Being a victim, and trying hard not to be one
is exhausting and I could see it was taking its toll on her.
I placed a hand over
hers, and something about it felt right. “We’re going to find that piece of
shit, I promise. Once my package gets delivered today, I’ll set up the cameras
around your property so we can keep an eye on everything while we’re gone. And
as soon as we get to Wyoming, I’ll use every single resource I have to figure
this all out.”
Standing up
straighter, she lifted her chin and nodded. “Good. And I want to be right there
to help you.”
She looked at me
expectantly and I narrowed my gaze, wondering what she had on her mind. I
already knew it was something she wanted to keep from John. Didn’t know if that
was a good or bad thing, but I had a feeling it was the
latter. “Yeah, about that. What do you want exactly?” I asked.
Her eyes darkened.
“I’m not waiting for that psycho to hunt me down again. I want you to
teach me how to kill. That way, the next time I see him, he’ll be on the
receiving end and not the other way around.” She looked down at the river, her
body tense. “I want to look him in the eyes when I kill him.
You’re the only one who can help me get away with it.”
Yep, it was
definitely the latter. I stared at her in disbelief, but also in complete awe.
I could get into some serious trouble for helping her. Was it good to give in
to revenge? No, but in her case, I’d be the same way if someone killed my
mother. She deserved to get her revenge and the killer deserved everything she
could dish out and then some.
If it was anyone but
Kennedy, I wouldn’t do it. But for her, it would mean closure — I could see
that now.
The decision was
made.
