Review: Great stand alone thriller!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Let me just say quickly, that even though this is the second book in the series, it read very well as a stand alone.  Be warned - there is a good chance that you will want to go back and read the first book, Cruelty to Innocents, when you are done!I enjoyed getting to know Sloanne and Shawn, the founders of Saving Angels and learning about the work that they did in finding abducted children. They worked well together with Birney and Mac, and even though they tended to "stretch" the boundaries sometime, they backed each other up and generally came out without too many scratches because of it.If anything, this book shows how vulnerable - and how trusting - people can be.  When stranded on a stretch of highway, don't trust someone just because they show up with a tow truck!  Sometimes they can be a wolf in sheep's clothing!  But it isn't just women with children that were at risk in this book - anybody with a child could be in possible danger.  The way that they were subdued was unusual, as well as the different ways that the adults who were murdered were found!I was drawn in with the first abduction and caught myself holding my breath each time someone else was taken.  I thought I had figured out who the abductor was, but it turned out that I was wrong!  I always like it when I am not able to figure out the book before it is revealed to me!  I would recommend this book to those that like thrillers or suspense.
