No one needs
to push Nikki Boyd to excel on the Tennessee Missing Persons Task Force. The
case of her own missing sister, still unsolved after ten years, is the driving
force in her work. When a Polaroid photo of a missing girl shows up at a crime
scene, Nikki quickly recognizes similarities to the past. The closer she gets
to the abductor, the more she feels this case has become personal, and she is
not the hunter . . . but the hunted.

My Thoughts:
From the
very first chapter of this book I could not put it down until I knew how it was
all going to end. This is one of those stories that I would love to see on the
big screen.
Nikki
becomes an instantly familiar character and it is so easy to see her as a
friend rather than just a character in a story. She has such a heart for her
job and her mission to help others. She seems to truly care for her family and
friends and would do anything in her power to care for them and see to their
well-being. I loved her ability to think fast and work through all the many obstacles
that came her way in this book.
The other
characters in this book come together to create an amazing crime solving team.
I could just picture them as they made their way through Tennessee on a mission
to bring home a missing girl. As each character developed, it was also easy to
feel like you had known them forever.
The story
itself is so intense. With each page, there is another twist and turn. Just
when you think you know how the story is going to end, something else happens
and throws so many other options in the path. I found terrified for Nikki
through parts of this story in hopes that should would find a way out of her
situation.
In the end,
we get both a happy and sad ending, but we also have a whole new story that is
completely wide open. I cannot wait for the next book in this series so I can
catch up with these characters and watch their story continue.
