In the next riveting thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong, the paranoia increases – along with the stakes – as the town of Rockton tries to solve the latest mystery at their door. Detective Casey Duncan has noticed fewer and fewer residents coming in to the hidden town of Rockton, and no extensions being granted. Her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, presumes it’s the natural flux of things, but Casey’s not so sure. It seems like something bigger is happening in the small town they call home. When an injured hiker stumbles from the woods, someone who seems to have come to the Yukon for a wilderness vacation but instead is now fighting for her life, it’s all hands on deck. What – or who – attacked this woman, and why? With the woman unconscious, and no leads, Casey and Eric don’t know where the threat is coming from. Plus, the residents of their deeply secretive town are uneasy with this stranger in their midst. Everyone in Rockton wants this mystery solved – and fast.

I'm tempted to round my score up, but it just wasn't a 5 star experience for me. The characters didn't utterly shine like they did earlier in the series and the mystery just didn't grab me enough. Maybe there were too many chess pieces being moved around? I think the series may be about to go in another direction and this is the “transition” novel. Which is okay! I still read it utterly filled with glee during the BEARS and liked that Armstrong showcased the different kinds of romantic and platonic relationships people can have. The characters continued to show growth and plot reflected the natural consequences of the choices characters made.
