The #1 New York Times-bestselling author's terrifying next thriller about one man's ice-cold malice, and one woman's fight to reclaim her life. Former Army brat Morgan Albright has finally planted roots in a friendly neighborhood near Baltimore. Her friend and roommate Nina helps her make the mortgage payments, as does Morgan's job as a bartender. But after she and Nina host their first dinner party—attended by Luke, the flirtatious IT guy who'd been chatting her up at the bar—her carefully built world is shattered. The back door glass is broken, cash and jewelry are missing, her car is gone, and Nina lies dead on the floor. Soon, a horrific truth emerges: It was Morgan who let the monster in. "Luke" is actually a cold-hearted con artist named Gavin who targets a particular type of woman, steals her assets and identity, and then commits his ultimate goal: murder. What the FBI tells Morgan is beyond chilling. Nina wasn't his type. Morgan is. Nina was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. And Morgan's nightmare is just beginning. Soon she has no choice but to flee to her mother's home in Vermont. While she struggles to build something new, she meets another man, Miles Jameson. He isn't flashy or flirtatious, and his family business has deep roots in town. But Gavin is still out there hunting new victims, and he hasn't forgotten the one who got away.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Netgalley)
I've mostly read JD Robb and am starting to dip my toes into Nora Roberts so I was pretty excited to receive the offer to read this on Netgalley. I enjoyed this. The pacing was good and I liked the relationships between the characters.
I just finished Identity by Nora Roberts and here is my review.
The worst moment of Morgan Albright's life was coming home to find her roommate murdered. Her whole world shattered apart..... The worst news was still to come. Nina wasn't the target. Morgan had invited the man into their home and now he was taking out credit in her name. Not only did she lose her best friend that night, she lost everything she had worked so hard to achieve.
Morgan soon finds that she wasn't his first target. He has been stealing the identities and lives of women for years. The FBI have had no luck in finding him but he hasn't forgotten Morgan and he is going to find ways to remind her that he isn't done with her yet.
This book scared the bejeezus out of me. Every single woman's worst nightmare.
The plot was good, solid and very enjoyable. Morgan is very vulnerable but she gives this whole demeanor of not needing anybody or accepting help. When her life ends up in a dumpster, she goes to her mother and grandmother and I love both those women! Strong women are a common theme through this book. Gavin.... He is the epitome of a monster in my book and he is written to be hated.
My favorite part of the whole book is the sentiment that rock bottom isn't the end. Sometimes it is the start to something better. Even with the knowledge that Gavin is still out there, she does her best to move on with her life. I was always a little on edge knowing how smart Gavin was and the low key fear really brought the entertainment to the next level.
Nora Roberts is always a solid read and this one is definitely a winner in my books.
4 stars. Thank you @stmartinspress for my gifted copy
