Product Description
One step away...Seven years ago Beth Denison was attacked by a killer named Chevy Bankes. Since then, she's created a new life for herself and her daughter. But now Bankes is out of prison and the gifts he sends her ? disfigured dolls that carry the same mutilations as his victims ? tells Beth he's coming for her. One breath away...Ex-FBI agent Neil Sheridan is driven to investigate a chain of murders that are eerily similar to a disturbing case from his past. When the killer's trail dead-ends at Beth's doorstep, Neil finds a beautiful woman with a secret she'll do anything to keep. One scream away...Yet even as Beth surrenders to Neil's protection, she can't tell him why Bankes hungers to hear her scream, and why she'll soon consider doing the unthinkable: face Bankes alone.

Format:Paperback
A romance crime thriller and one that will more than likely win Kate fans the world over as it's a beautiful piece of fiction. Overall the main cut and thrust of the tale is about the serial killer on the principle protagonista's tale and whilst the romantic sub plot is there, its used to help lull and sooth the reader after moments of high tension and action. It is a cleverly conceived plot with characters that gel within the readers imagination and whilst they both have their weaknesses it only goes to show how together a pairing can be made stronger. A tale I was more than satisfied with by its conclusion and one that I'm more than happy to recommend to readers.

I liked the plot of the book, following the hunt for Chevy Bankes as he continues his murderous spree across the US, fuelled by a lust for revenge against the woman who got away from him seven years earlier until he ultimately arrives at her door. The twisting thread of the disfigured dolls was pretty creepy and the story in itself was gripping but what I really disliked about this book (hence 3 stars) was the relationship between the two main protagonists which I felt was completely unbelievable.
At the opening Sheridan is in bed with someone he barely knows and could care less about. He is the tough, burnt-out ex-FBI agent, with loads of personal baggage but within a very unrealistic space of time, he's seriously involved with Beth Dennison and her child. I found the constant endearments "honey" and "sweetheart" that he calls her annoying and detracted from the enjoyment of the story unfolding. The same with his over-the-top relationship with Abby - ("sweet pea", "baby"). It just seemed unnecessary and distracting to force the relationships which should have developed more slowly, especially as Beth has such a wary, hidden character because of her past.
Aside from that...not a bad book and I'll give the second one a go hoping for better.
