About this ebook
A serial killer finds new hunting ground in the Smokey Mountains in this “smart, sexy and scary as hell” thriller by the New York Times bestselling author (Lisa Jackson, New York Times bestselling author).
Just outside Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee, a victim is sacrificed on a makeshift altar—the gruesome handywork of a killer who has evaded authorities in state after state. FBI agent Dallas Sloan knows the scene all too well—just as he knows the killings won’t stop until there are four more bodies.
Genny Madoc’s “sixth sense” has brought many of Cherokee Pointe’s residents to her isolated log cabin, looking for help. But now it’s Genny who needs help from disturbing visions that are getting stronger and more violent by the day.
Thrown together by necessity, drawn to each other by desire, Dallas and Genny must band together, searching the darkest heart of a town’s hidden secrets before a twisted killer can complete a deadly ritual that will make one of them the fifth victim.
“Fast . . . edgy . . . sexy . . . I loved The Fifth Victim!” —Linda Howard, New York Times bestselling author

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Found it a bit corny and irritating, especially the ending part where the killer got hold of Genny without too much effort on his part, it was as if suddenly, everybody became lax and left Genny to her own devices.
I find the character of Genny too sweet and weak. I don’t know how a guy like Dallas can stand the recurring psychic attacks of Genny. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it I couldn't put it down till the very end
