The Faces of Evil Series: Book 2
Her nightmare isn’t over yet . . .
The Player is a master in the art of torture and murder. No one had ever gotten close to capturing him until Special Agent Jess Harris targeted him with her relentless determination. Jess’s actions may have cost her a job with the bureau, but the Player still wants his vengeance and he’ll make Jess pay in ways she never imagined. The first victim is Jess’s friend-and the killer won’t stop there. With each new death Jess becomes more certain that the only way to stop the Player is to give him what he really wants: her.
Chief of Police Dan Burnett is determined to give Jess her confidence and her life back. With an offer on the table, a position as deputy chief of a new division, can Jess risk staying in her hometown and putting those around her in more danger? Or will she walk away to protect everyone she loves-including Dan, who just may want her back in his arms? The stakes are high, and a single impulse will determine who survives the Player’s final, deadly game . . .
Impulse, the second book of the Faces of Evil series, really ramps up when the first real friend Jess has made since moving back to Birmingham is abducted by who Jess believes is Eric Spears.
I love how the killer taunts Jess in Impulse, being bold and showing his face everywhere without fear of getting caught, of course being this fearless and… impulsive leads to sloppy work and if you’ve ever watched a television crime drama, you know that’s always how they get caught.
Impulse is gripping because it is told through so many different points of view, you have Jess’s obviously and it’s told mostly from her point of view, but it’s old told from the killers perspective, along with Lori’s when she is held captive and tortured. You really get to see Detective Lori Wells’ strength during this time.
Jess is faced with a lot of decisions throughout Impulse, not all of them are life threatening, but a few of them are. If I was under the pressure she was, I would be rocking in corner crying, but not her, she’s a complete bad ass if I say so myself!
This series is not one you want to read out of order, so make sure you start with Obsession and work your way through the series, it’s a long one, but so incredibly worth it!
