Ex-SEAL Tucker Frost knows that the world is full of evil. He saw it in the face of his own brother, Jason Frost, a cold, methodical, sadistic killer. A killer Tucker put down with his own hands in order to save Jason's final victim--Dawn Alexander, the only girl who got away from the infamous "Iceman."
It's Tucker's up close and personal experience with evil that's made him perfect for Samantha Dark's experimental profiling division in the FBI. And when women start turning up murdered with the same MO used by the Iceman, Tucker is sent back to Louisiana to investigate.
Seven years have passed since the night that Tucker faced down his brother...and since he last saw Dawn, his one-time lover. But as Tucker and Dawn grapple with a desire that never died, they must also face the shared shadow from their pasts. Both have the same question--has Jason Frost come back from the dead to hunt again? And this time, will he succeed in killing the victim who got away?

Dramatic, dramatic start. It jumps right into the action right away. It also kept the intensity of the story at that same high level. Bodies keep dropping too. Who can be trusted? That is a major question and as time goes on the question expands. How does the "killer" seem to know so much insider info and seem to be steps ahead so often?
The emotional pain and memories are strong in the story as is the fear. The author did a great job of conveying that! The main characters were good and their own individual points of view woven into the story was pretty good.
You want a story with lots of twists and turns? This one has it.
The people who were secondary characters were also ones that I enjoyed too. Just look at some of the people in the special task force; you could tell that each and every one of them had inside painful experiences with serial killers. They wouldn't be a part of that special team without that skill.
I have to admit that I had my own suspicions on who the killer might be. And in the end that is who it was but I wasn't terribly upset about that like I thought I might have been. The why of it was deeper than I expected and the surprises kept coming until the very end.
Good ending, no cliffhangers but the door is now open to read about some of the other team members. There is a short excerpt about Macey's story called, "Into the Night." In the book I just finished reading there has been some hints of attraction between team members Macey and Bowen Murphy. It looks like in the next book, that is going to be explored.
