Alone
RT Magazine 2014 Reviewers' Choice Finalist -- Best Romantic Suspense Suspense Magazine Best of 2014 One rainy night in the woods outside of Portland, Dr. Victoria Peres is called to the site of a haunting crime scene. Six beautiful young girls--all in white dresses and arranged in a perfect circle--have been left for dead. Only one girl, fighting for her life at a nearby hospital, has survived the carnage. Things get stranger still when Victoria and the police discover that the disturbing arrangement of the bodies--as meticulous as it is mysterious--is straight from the pages of a decades-old cold case. Victoria is called on to do what she does best, read the bones of the dead for clues...while dealing with the surprise return of her first love, medical examiner Seth Rutledge. Only this time she must figure out how the two cases, fifty years apart, are connected. In the fourth book in her heart-pounding Bone Secrets series, bestselling author Kendra Elliot sends readers on a dark and thrilling journey as forensic anthropologist Victoria Peres races to solve a horrific new case while confronting the secrets of her past.

Alone was not as good as the first three books in the Bone Series. I read in the acknowledgements that the author did not originally intend to tell Victoria's story and that comes through in the book. The story jumps around between the mystery and the romance, and they never really come together until the last few pages. The romance also jumps back and forth from the present and past in awkward places which makes it difficult to form an emotional connection between the reader and the characters. Overall this was a decent read but doesn't live up to the standard set by the first three books in the series.
