I started reading this prior to reading book 1, so I had to stop and read book 1, as this book does refer to many things that occured in book 1. I highly suggest reading in order.
Laurel Snow and Huck Rivers are back, trying to solve the murders of several women who are found dead, naked and arranged in the snow. Their hands have been removed, and black dahlias are also key. Again, Abigail Caine plays a big part in this suspense novel. Abigail tells Laurel that she is in danger, and Laurel needs to protect her. However, Laurel still doesn't trust Abigail.
Laurel and Huck's relationship continues, and the tension between them is palpable. Both of their lives are put in danger as they chase another serial killer.
Excited to continue the series, and enjoyed this installment. ( )

Laurel Snow #2

Chillingly creepy and convoluted…could not put this story down!

What I liked:
* Laurel: brilliant, eidetic memory, eidetic memory, FBI agent, loving daughter, has trouble reading emotions of others, verbally direct, honest, likes things spelled out, concrete thinker, doesn’t experience emotions as others do, from a loving family, in business with her mother
* Huck: ex-military sniper, Captain in Fish & Wildlife, overlaps working with FBI and local police force, lethal abilities, loner, has PTSD, protective, finds Laurel quirky but likes her straightforward honesty, seems to have a few trust issues, good friend
* Aeneas: Karelian Bear Dog, owned by and works with Huck, bear chaser, works in search and rescue missions, also might act a bit like a support dog
* The slow growth of the relationship that might be developing between Lauren and Huck
* Remembering and revisiting the characters from the previous book…at least the ones I liked
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* That the serial killer was not immediately obvious
* The twists, turns, and red herrings
* The hints about the future and problems that might arise from Abigail Cain – Laurel’s half-sister and Rachel Raprenzi – reporter and Huck’s ex-fiancé
* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Having to wait for the next book to be written so that I can find out what happens next

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington – Zebra for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Laurel Snow series #2. Thriller / romantic suspense. Best read in series order for character development but can be read as a stand-alone.
A female doctor has been brutally killed. She had complained to the police about a stalker. A second body has been found. Both had black dahlia petals found on their property. Laurel’s sister finds the flowers petals frozen in her yard and another doctor thinks she may have a stalker too. It’s up to Laurel and her team and plus Huck to investigate and try to prevent another murder.

Thrilling and intense. Lots of suspense, suspicion, and secrets.

Oh, that Abigail is manipulative! I read a paragraph where she convinces Laurel that Huck doesn’t want to be with Laurel. Abigail clearly knows that Laurel doesn’t understand her own jealousy and I don’t think Abigail really wants Huck other than as something that Abigail has.
This is early in the story so I don’t consider it a spoiler as much as showing Abigail’s personality and Laurel’s somewhat naive emotional understanding.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I also purchased all format of this book to keep and share. ( )
