When a local girl goes missing in a small beachside town, the Amateurs believe that the game is on again. Their suspicions are confirmed when Maddox receives a taunting letter in the post and so they head to Lafayette to begin the chase.
I love Seneca's determination not to be beaten by Brett and her desperation to make him face justice for her mother's murder. She and Brett are well matched opponents, although he always seems to be two steps ahead of them. Some chapters were told from his point of view and it was creepy being in his head. I suspect there is still a lot to be revealed about him, his past and his motives.
I was hooked on this book and read it in practically one sitting. Sara Shepard has such an ingenious mind and plots incredibly well crafted stories that always leave you puzzling over the series of events. There are so many twists and turns and well planted red herrings that it makes for fantastic reading. I was totally engrossed from start to finish.
The ending of the book was a real jaw-dropper. I can't believe that Sara Shepard left things hanging where she did. I'm so impatient to get my hands on the next in the trilogy - this is a series not to be missed.
