About the Book . . . 
A killer's deadly game needs new players . . . but someone's about to change the rules.

As a medical examiner, Serena Hopkins is used to dealing with death. But that doesn't make it any easier when she's called to the eerie scene of a murder--especially when Serena realizes that she knows the victim. Nearly as unnerving is the presence of FBI agent Dominic Allen, her childhood crush.

As evidence mounts and points to a serial killer with disturbingly familiar methods, Serena and Dominic must work to find a pattern and stop the killings before the murderer strikes again. And when Serena's own life seems at stake, she must decide if the secret she has been keeping has put her next on the killer's hit list. Can she trust Dominic with the truth before it's too late?

Reader Review . . . 
When a serial killer targets young women in her town, Serena Hopkins finds her job as Medical Examiner more difficult than usual.  Not only are the deaths tragic, but she knows the victims.  Serena and FBI agent Dominic Allen are in a race with time to find the killer before she becomes one of the victims.
This is good, as in stayed-up-all-night-because-I-couldn't-put-it-down good.  Even when I had figured out part of the solution, it was still too riveting to walk away.  Of course, the fact that I just attended my high school reunion recently could have added to my interest.  (Was that a spoiler?  Sorry!)  The downside?  This is Book 2 of a series, and the conclusion isn't completely conclusive.  Now, I'll be waiting slightly impatiently by the bookstore so that I'm first in line when Book 3 is published.
