A masked robber, a gunshot, an endless nightmare left in its wake. Wynter Moore was just four years-old when she witnessed the murder of her mother. For twenty-five years she’s tried to blunt the trauma with ambition. Yet each year, she shuts down her popular Iowa restaurant to return to her small hometown of Pike, Wisconsin, to grieve. Only this time, her visit will be marked by new danger and shocking discoveries about the past—and about her mother.
Game warden Noah Hunter has tried to convince himself that Wynter is just a friend ever since they met in grief counseling as teenagers. But now that she’s in danger, that denial is over. Traveling to her side, he helps Wynter retrace the treacherous steps of her complex mother’s life—before she loses her own. Because someone wants—needs—Wynter gone, forever.
Faceless is the second book in the Pike, Wisconsin series. It can be read as a stand alone book. I don't feel like you had to have read that one first because it deals with very different characters. This one is Noah and Wynter's story. Wynter discovers that there might be more to her mother's death than just a random robbery. Noah will do what it takes to make sure Wynter stays alive.
I really enjoyed this one. While I liked the first book, I actually liked this one more. I felt like the romance was more believable. Wynter and Noah had been friends for a really long time so their move from friends to lovers was seamless. I liked both of the main characters, both separately and together. Noah has found a place on my book boyfriend list. Wynter was smart and didn't take unnecessary chances. As for the mystery, I was really surprised with this one. I did not call the ending at all. I thought the segments from "the Stranger's" perspective were creepy. I definitely recommend this one. I look forward to reading the next book.
