#6 in Taylor Jackson series. Continuing where "The Immortals" left off, Taylor is still being stalked by the Pretender who now has "apprentices" in a vast online game who are committing murders mimicking dead serial killers leading up to Taylor as the final target. Leaks in the police or FBI are hindering the investigation & Taylor finds herself riding the fine line between revenge and justice. Baldwin is suspended from the FBI & keeping a bombshell from Taylor while assisting her with tracking down the murderers. Tension between them causes Taylor to make some rash decisions. Will she live with them or will the Pretender finally take away everything? (

I won this book from the February batch of the Early Reviewers program. I got an email a couple weeks later saying that they were sorry for the delay but the books would be shipped shortly. It is now December and I still haven't received my copy. Hopefully the fact that I hadn't reviewed this book yet, isn't the reason that I have not won another book since then!! Had I received it, I would have reviewed it!

This was my first exposure to J.T. Ellison's works, and I was pleasantly surprised. The main plot with the recreation of certain serial killings across America was inspired, and it kept me thinking throughout the story. I highly enjoyed the interactions between the main characters, as well.

Comes highly recommended from me. (

It was a good book, but too much going on for me. (

I found the story entertaining - a serial killer sets up a game challenge for other killers to produce exact copies of famous serial killers' murders, in a kind of race across the country - , but the police's involvement and solution were a bit predictable, and the main characters (the cops) way too simple for my taste.
Only after finishing did I find out that this is part of a series - I had no problem reading this without having read the previous books, though I now realize that there were quite a few references to earlier developments. (
