An engaging-thrilling read into the twisted mind of a sadistic, narcissistic psychopath, obsessed with a woman he loves and hates.A charismatic psychopath is probably the scariest kind of nut, as they can move easily among us and appear as your average likeable-funny guy - in the meantime he/she is looking at you... sizing you up, as a hunter stalks its' prey.Bea is a successful psychiatrist with an unhealthy attraction to a client, who she knows should be referred to someone else, but when Bea attempts an introduction, all hell breaks loose and James feels he's abandoned her and nobody hurts James and gets away with it - in the sick fantasy in his head, Bea has betrayed him and that leaves him with very few choices - in each only Dylan and Tori are allowed to live... ?This story is compelling and engaging with interesting twists and turns to keep you guessing, intrigued and turning pages well into the night, till the end.I love how Byrd integrates Mental Health issues into the stories and not all in a bad light. As she states in all her books, people would be surprised if they knew everyone's mental health status around them. Even many of our historical inventors are known to have a mental health disorder. Many people are able to live productive and successful lives despite their illness(es).  ;-)Reason for 4-stars - The only disappointment I had was the lack of involvement the Shingle Beach Detective Agency; Sammie, Heather, Marc, Cruise, Dex, they were a great team in the 1st two books - I hope they'll be brought into the next books.This is a great read that I definitely recommend to everyone.  Prepared to read well into the night. :-)  The story is well written as a stand alone novel.  However, I'd highly recommend reading the others, as the storylines are different to adapt to the mental illnesses/disorders.
