Two FBI agents are caught in a merciless vigilante’s
crosshairs in New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden’s
electric Killer Instinct series
Sheltered in the shadows of the Smoky Mountains is the
suspect who’s summoned FBI agent Macey Night’s fears to the surface. Every day
that the “Profiler,” a vigilante serial killer, escapes justice is another day
she’s reminded of what it is to be a ruthless predator’s prey. Capturing him is
a craving deeper than anything she’s felt in a long time. But Agent Bowen
Murphy, equal parts sexy and volatile, seems hell-bent on changing that.
Working together—needing, living and breathing each other—they’re entwined to
distraction.
Bowen’s used to operating on impulse: act, don’t feel. Now
Macey and the controlled terror behind her beautiful eyes have him rethinking
everything, including his rule to never get close to a colleague. He’s willing
to fight for a future with Macey, but the consequences of love could be deadly.
Into the Night is the third book in the Killer Instinct series. I read and reviewed the first two earlier last month. If you are unfamiliar with the series, it began with After the Dark. In the end of that book, a unit in the FBI was established with agents who had either been a survivor of a serial killer or a family member of one. The thought is that they have a unique perspective that will allow them to be more successful in catching the killers. This is Bowen and Macey's story.
I thought the mystery in Into the Night was really good and the strongest feature of the book. I was definitely engaged the entire time I was reading it. There are a ton of twists, so you kind of have to really pay attention to plot to make sure you don't miss anything. I definitely didn't see that ending coming! As for the romance, it "ok" but it wasn't my favorite part of the book. It just didn't have the heat that I was hoping it would have. However, the mystery more than made up for it.
I highly recommend this series. Each one can be read as a stand alone, so you can pretty much start with any of them. I think lovers of romantic suspense will enjoy this one.
