I really enjoyed this book. It gave me a great escape when I needed it. A female serial killer makes for a novel premise, but while Lyla kills her share of men, the actual killings are not too graphic which I appreciated. I'd rather a book focus on the psychology behind a killer's motives, not the act itself, which this book wisely does. It also cleverly intersects the lives of three individuals: Lyla (the killer), Jillian (a psychologist), and Jason (a cop gunning to be a detective). To get a better understanding of the history behind these three people's symbiotic relationship, read the prequel, "Blood in the Past" (though it's not necessary to do so; the story is clear on its own). All in all a great read, and the ending left me eager for the next book in the series.
