BOOK REVIEW- TAKEN (Cold Gounds) by Nichole Severn

 Book Cover    

She knows evil inside and out.

When women start going missing in the lakeside hometown she left behind long ago, FBI agent Brie McKinney is forced to return. A necklace discovered at the primary crime scene is an exact replica to the one she wears. It ties back to her own abduction twenty years ago. And to the night her sister disappeared. As another body washes onto shore, Brie once again finds herself in the killer’s crosshairs. Only this time, she’s not a child. And she’s not alone.

Roman Bradford has trained to be in the center of the action, to make the hard calls without emotion, but that discipline fails when the killer turns his attention to his compelling FBI partner. Unwilling to lose Brie, especially when the bond they share slides into heated desire, Roman finds himself breaking all the rules he swore to uphold to protect her. And risking his career in the process.

As Brie and Roman fight frenzied attraction it becomes clear that to unravel a web of clues a killer has left behind, she must face a horrifying truth about the night her sister disappeared—before it’s too late.

5 STARS

Intense, fast moving, TOTALLY unpredictable is what this story is.  And if you think you can figure it out?  Think again.  That was something that really kept me on my toes and on the edge of my seat.  And I loved that !
Brie and Roman are both shown to have quite a bit of depth to them, which I liked.  They both had been hurt with scars, some that were visible but also ones that go much deeper than just that.  I enjoyed them both and why not?  They were people that had no quit in them.  They are also deeply attracted to each other even with the risks to their jobs.

That's all I'm going to say about this book because I don't want to give too much away.  I want the next reader to be as surprised at each turn like I was.
