My husband and I have been waiting a long time for this to
come out. I do not know how we missed it sure glad we looked again. What makes
this a great read is not only the narrator which is wonderful but we get to see
Cara as a young teen. I think this really bring the story home, yes we heard
about it in other books but this goes in to detail that really hits home and
pulls you in making you feel even more for a young girl that turned into a
serial killer. It is very hard not to like Cara and really feel her pain, in the
first book it took a little time but after that I felt she was like my own
daughter. There really are monsters out
there and she is taking them out one at a time, she is my hero, someone we
shouldn’t look up to but we have to. I am sure you will feel the same after you
read her story of a killer that killed her family and all the evil people out
there that tried their best to either kill her, abuse her or kill and abuse
others.
Roarke is one of a kind he is torn between right and wrong,
it is hard to feel that Cara is wrong when the ones she hunts are really the
bad ones doing terrible wrong things. They say two wrongs don’t make a right
but it is really hard to use that logic with these people. If Cara is the dark
side Roarke would be the white side. He is leaning more to the dark side that
is why he took a break from things where things not black and white for him
anymore. It is hard to him to hunt down Cara again to bring her in for justice when
really she is doing justice for all those that can’t help their selves and has
been doing it from a very young age. I loved how he took on this new story finding
clues from a cold case that Cara may have thought she took care of. He need justice
for those poor girls and he works hard to find it.
As always Mr. Bray’s narration is outstanding. I fell in
love with his narration from the very first blue moon story. He really hits the
emotions right on the money giving you a wonderful emotional listen pulling you
in letting your mind take over creating a picture of each scene that is very
vivid in your mind. His character voices really show emotion pulling the listen
in with a compelling listen and a powerful voice that is clear, deep that it
really pulls you. It is hard to pick up one of the Moon audio’s and not feel
the powerful emotion he bring to it. There was no background noise the music at
the first goes very well with the story it gets you prepared for what is about
to happen. There are no repeats of works just a crisp, clean, clear audio that
delivers a wonderful story of evil, power, killing, victims, heroes and a
monster that lives right in your town. He male voices are just as wonderful as
his female ones. You always know who is talking and just what they are feeling.
I have no trouble feeling the evil that is around these characters as he paints
a wonderful picture in your mind that you have no trouble picturing. This is
one of my favorite series along with one of my favorite narrators.
The author really knows how to pull you in giving you a
compelling listen leaving your mouth hung open as danger comes near. Just when you think you have worked out who,
what and where she changes that on you leaving you to start over. I really
understood Roarke how he was driven but yet torn between right and wrong. I
understood why he needed a break but at the same time why he needed more
answers. As he pulls you in your heart goes out to so many, at times you wish
you could be Cara taking away her pain but mostly taking out the evil that is
so alive all around.
I really enjoyed seeing Cara as a young girl who not only
took care of herself but others. I really liked hearing more about her foster
homes and the friends she made and those she didn’t like. The author goes in
wonderful detail about how she learned how to drive at a young age, the
closeness she had with a foster child. The victims of other young children, the
killing of those that hurt those children How Roarke worked out who the
monsters where and how he got them justice after so many years. It really is a
powerful story with powerful meaning and wonderful characters that really
breaks your heart. I wish with everything
that was in me that I could pull these characters out of this story. For me the
characters became real, I felt their pain, their fear and their heart break. I
found myself cheering when another one was taken out. I found myself talking to
the characters as well as beep beeping a few. I really got into this story from
start to finish. This can be read as a standalone but really to get the full
effect you need to read the series. I really have a hard time waiting for the
next story to come out. This is one author that pulls all the stops. She has no
trouble pulling the reader in giving you a highly entertaining story you can’t
put down.

Summary
FBI agent Matthew Roarke has been on leave, and in seclusion, since the
capture of mass killer Cara Lindstrom - the victim turned avenger who preys on
predators. Torn between devotion to the law and a powerful attraction to Cara
and her lethal brand of justice, Roarke has retreated from both to search his
soul. But Cara's escape from custody and a police detective's cryptic challenge
soon draw him out of exile - into the California desert and deep into Cara's
past - to probe an unsolved murder that could be the key to her long and deadly
career. Following young Cara's trail, Roarke uncovers a horrifying attack on a schoolgirl, the shocking suicide of another, and a human monster stalking Cara's old high school. Separated by sixteen years, crossing paths in the present and past, Roarke and fourteen-year-old Cara must race to find and stop the sadistic sexual predator before more young women are brutalized.
