I wish they didn't play up Lucy's damaged background as much. I do appreciate the story line and character development. Each one makes you want to know more without feeling like a cliff hanger.

2.5. Same as usual with these books but also like I prefer when we step away from sex crimes since it seems like we, as a culture, revel in them.

I struggled to connect to the storyline like past Lucy books. Makes me wonder if I'm going to read any of the next Lucy books.

3.5/5 - I overall liked this one, the pace really picked up as the story went along and the suspense was well done and had me trying to put all the clues together with the characters. One aspect of the Lucy Kincaid series that I absolutely love is her relationship with Sean - that's lacking in this book. In fact, this is a straight up suspense story, very little romance. I've always loved how Sean is Lucy's rock, after her horrific past, he's the safe place for her so she can actually be herself and let her guard down. I would have liked more between them, but the suspense story lines involved quite a few players and page time gets taken up quickly. There's just enough set up that I'm left anxious to see how Lucy's story will play out over the last two books.

I really like the direction this series is taking. Allison Brennan seems to always pick interesting topics to use in her books. This time, it's political sex scandals and televangelists, and either one would have been enough to interest me. I'm pretty fond of all the characters, and this book continues the series' history of introducing good new characters and keeping older minor ones around. The romance element is still there, but there's absolutely no relationship drama, which was a really welcome change of pace. I really liked the suspense this time. Lucy, Sean, and Noah were all working on different parts of the case, and the book gets a good amount of tension from none of them having all the information.
When I finished it, I was still wanting more, so I might be starting the sequel sooner than I was planning.
