If I say I had so much fun reading this novel, then you would think either I'm super-crazy or am a cold hearted bitch if you ever get your hands on this one. The story was terrific and all the murders were beyond gruesome. Instead of getting scared, I actually enjoyed reading the story. Have you ever read a crime thriller which has more than one serial killer? Then you are up for a treat.Nowhere to hide is a sequel to Nina D' Angelo's Previous novel Nowhere to run and yet I found it to be a very well knitted standalone story .You wanna know why?I haven't read the latter. Stephanie Carovella's mess of a life gave me enough reasons to keep me engaged into the story. Her historical background goes something like this. She lost her parents to a serial killer when she was 8, then her ex-husband was a partner in crime with a serial killer and her second husband was also murdered by a serial killer. Oh my!!!But it is so not finished yet.At some places, it is excruciating to see her pain.Now another serial killer has risen out of nowhere who happens to know her past really too well. Almost everyone she has known or talks to even for few seconds is killed by him. He is also a serial killer with a difference and there is another serious killer who is more of a legend(formerly known as The Jesus Christ killer).I don't want to reveal anymore about them because it won't be as exciting when you read it.What grabbed my interest the most than these murders were all the attentions she got from these men. I began counting it and was overtly shocked by the numbers. Besides the serial killers, Jake Carlisle Jase Devlin, and Ben were few notable characters.On the whole, this book was a nail biting suspenseful read. All the characters were mind-blowing including the story of the victims. The first half of the novel was jet fast, and I expected the same from the second half. When the novel was nearing it's end, I felt like the author has lost some sense into the story(involves Stephanie and Jase).But that was okay as I saw the whole story in general. Believe my words, Nina D' Angelo is a great story teller.For all crime fiction lovers (also for fans of James Patterson, J.A.Jance and Iris Johansen)(
