Review: Just as Good as the First
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is the 2nd book in the "Huntress/FBI" series, and it's just as good as the first one, "Huntress Moon." I highly suggest you read the first book to get a better understanding of the characters and background story.Cara returns in book 2, as does Agent Roarke. If things weren't bad enough, not only is he on the hunt to capture Cara, he's also on the hunt for the Reaper, a serial killer who started his killings 25 years ago; the first family to suffer at his hands was Cara's parents and siblings. It seems the Reaper has started up again and his end goal is to kill Cara. Roarke and his team are doing everything humanly possible to catch this guy before others suffer at his hands. If that wasn't bad enough, it seems Cara is hunting him; following him at every turn; and him always two steps behind in capturing her. Sound confusing? Well, it isn't. The author does an amazing job weaving an engaging and suspenseful tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The characters are complex; the tensions within the FBI team almost palpable; and the relationship between Cara and Roarke - almost sexual-like; the heat between them almost leaping off the pages even though they're never present together in the same place. You can almost sense what Roarke is feeling when it comes to Cara; the turmoil and conflict within.Sokoloff delivers a well-written, and complex murder-mystery-thriller that lovers of this genre should all read. An amazing and thought-provoking tale that once you start reading, you'll have a hard time putting it down. In fact, once you reach the end you'll be clamoring for the third book in the series. Let's just hope we don't have to wait too long for it. (Hint, hint to the author.)
