BOOK REVIEW- Over the Flames (Hunting Grounds # 1) by Nichole Severn

   

Losing a child destroyed their marriage, but a killer will ensure their future ends in flames.

A journalist who always gets her story.
An FBI agent who’ll die to keep her safe.
Losing a child destroyed their marriage, but a killer will ensure their future ends in flames.


When Arden Olsen discovers her mentor’s smoldering remains, she’s determined to expose the killer. Her work is the only way to process the grief tearing her apart. But the FBI’s lead case agent will do whatever it takes to keep her from getting involved.

Violent Crimes Agent Lawson Mitchell has been burned before—by the media and by Arden. She’s not going to let the story go, so as the killer escalates, keeping his ex-wife close is the only way to keep her safe. Even at the risk of losing his heart all over again.
As one of the most vicious serial offenders closes in, Lawson and Arden must confront the guilt and resentment they’ve harbored for one another and work together. Before there’s nothing left.

4 STARS

Emotional, intense and downright scary when it comes to the true serial killer is how I would describe this story.  Add to that really good while flawed main characters.  Each of them both dealing with the grief over their daughter's death in totally different ways.  Ways that  caused them the additional grief of not being there for each other.  Later in the story, it felt like Arden nailed it when explaining to Lawson that he had not recognized that she has  been grieving because she dealt with it differently than he did.  Add to the problems of them working together by his mistrust of all journalists and him lumping her in that mistrust.  Yep, that's going to cause some problems.

You want twists, turns and dangers? You'll get it in this book, especially as it moves towards the explosive ending.   

 

 " I voluntarily read a copy of this book,  and this is my honest opinion about it.
