Review by Tara Cross

 

In this book by Author Morgan Kelley, we are introduced to Elizabeth LaRue. She’s a fallen angel of the FBI, who has returned home after a life altering incident. Once home, she takes over the position of Sheriff that her father had once held until his death.

While in Salem, as sheriff there are a string of odd murders that pique her interest. Slowly as they unfold, Elizabeth finds out they stretch back to before her father’s death.

Salem has a killer.

The sleepy southern town is rocked to its core, that one of their own is killing women to mimic the Salem witch trials. Each method is different, but the same thing is common throughout. Someone is hell bent on taking lives and tormenting Elizabeth.

In comes the FBI, and sexy Special Agent Ethan Blackhawk. From the minute they meet, the sparks fly and the two become a hot and heavy romance. As their love progresses, the killer is more determined to kill the only person that can stop him.

Elizabeth.

Before the end of the book, everything in Elizabeth’s life is questioned, turned upside down and risked.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was an easy ready, but still made you wonder who the killer was until the end. The author peppered it with clues and pointed you in the right direction. She made it fun and enjoyable from the first page to the last.  This reminded me of a beach read. It was just under 400 pages and kept me interested the entire time.

The sex scenes were heartfelt, meaningful and steamy. By the end I wanted to change my name and be Elizabeth.

The mix of humor, entertainment and thriller were well balanced and you honestly started to believe that Elizabeth could be one of your girlfriends, with her quick wit, funny comebacks and genuine heart.

All in all, this was an excellent first book to kick off the series. There was just enough character development to make me want to continue the series.
