When a cold-case serial killer returns, FBI special agent Fiona Kelly has one last chance to stop him before he claims the prize he’s always wanted—her.
The sight of a goose feather at a murder scene modeled after a children’s poem is enough to make FBI special agent Fiona Kelly's blood turn to ice. Almost two decades ago, a feather was left with her sister's body—and with every subsequent victim of the Nursery Rhyme Killer. Now he's back. Only this time, his latest gruesome murder is a message to the only one who ever got away: Fiona.
Finding “Rhyme” is an obsession that's fueled Fiona's career—and destroyed her marriage to fellow FBI agent Asa Kodiak. Now Fiona and Asa have to put their past tensions aside and work together one last time. But Rhyme is watching, and catching this killer may force Fiona to reveal her biggest, darkest secret…the one only he knows.

MY THOUGHTS
Wow! I'm struggling to find the words to describe just how fantastic this book was. It's one of the best I've read this year so far. It's downright chilling and features one of the creepiest villains I've ever read about. I was invested from the first page and couldn't read fast enough. There were twists and turns galore. Many I never saw coming. I had lots of suspicions about who Rhyme really was. I thought I had it figured out a couple of times, but, in the end, was utterly shocked by the reveal. It was so good!
I liked Fiona and Asa right off the bat. While Fiona could be a bit abrasive at times, it was never off-putting. And Asa was really working on himself. Trying to be a better person. I loved watching him grow in his faith. Speaking of faith, there was a very strong, powerful, and inspiring message here, which I loved!
I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's perfect for anyone who enjoys romantic suspense, especially fans of Nancy Mehl and Irene Hannon.
FIVE STARS
FAVORITE QUOTES:
It was Fiona’s job to expose the darkness. Bring light back to families—that’s what they hoped for. Some kind of good to come from the surrounding evil.
I’m certainly not implying God orchestrated this evil—He didn’t. But maybe He’s taking what was meant for evil and doing something good.
