Laura Griffin

Forensic artist Fiona Glass is the best in the business -- which is precisely why she's quitting. Her skill at mining victims' memories to re-create the faces of sadistic criminals has left her haunted and wary, and only Jack Bowman's dogged persistence convinces her to help him. The rugged police chief is hunting a serial killer who's targeting teenage girls. But what seems like a simple assignment is fraught with complications, including a searing attraction to Jack that's tempting Fiona to let her guard down in potentially dangerous ways. Jack never intended for Fiona to become so deeply involved in the case -- or in his life. But every instinct tells him she's his best hope for finding a psychopath who's lurking in plain sight, growing more ruthless with each passing day. And now that Fiona is right in the killer's crosshairs, the only way to keep her safe is to unravel a small town's darkest secrets, one terrifying thread at a time....

I love Laura Griffin books and I kind of expected to simply love this one, too, but sadly I didn't. Fiona was an enjoyable MC and at first I liked the chemistry between her and Jack, but at some point in the book he just became ... too much. Too much taking things in his own hands, too much pressure on her and that ending? Holy shit, that creeped me out, to be completely honest. If someone just decided to move into my apartment while I'm too weak and healing to discuss this, I'd be kicking his ass out of the door faster than he could say "consent". Which, by the way, seems to be a word Jack is not aware of.
