BLURB: While Ryker’s body came back from Afghanistan just fine, his mind didn’t, and his thoughts wander back there in painful flashbacks that have present-time consequences. In order to avoid hurting anyone, Ryker secludes himself in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Then Officer Chess Medcull shows up with a case of were-animals being tortured and killed in a way similar to how Ryker almost died in the war. In order to stop the murders, Ryker must face the demons in his head, and maybe, just maybe, allow Chess to help. That is, as long as neither is the next victim.
My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I finished the book early yesterday (9th April 2021) but took a while trying to decide what to say in my review. The main reason for this is because I did not enjoy this one as much as others by Mell Eight that I've read, but I couldn't figure out why not.
After all the characters were as interesting as ever with the depth of insight into PTSD being very well portrayed, the world building was wonderful, and the romance was just what I knew it would be with intense feelings and not much angst. Then it dawned on me what was wrong - the mystery of 'who done it'. It was not as well written as the rest and seemed a little bit rushed and not as well thought out as I'd hoped.
All that said I would still go and get the next book in the series if there is one and would recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed her books in the past.
