I received this copy through a good reads giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
Chris Verlone, an investigative journalist living in the small town of Ashden, has been writing stories about a masked vigilante "The Marker" for years. When Chris discovers there may be a arsonist serial killer on the loose, Chris will stop at nothing to catch the killer and bring him to justice before he strikes again.
This book started off quite slow for me, but as I continued to read the plot twists came into effect and the book was hard to put down! I loved al the characters and how they developed throughout the story. I also really like how the story kept me on my toes the entire time and I would literally have jaw-dropping moments when a new fact was unveiled. The story is told in multiple perspectives, which made it more interesting. There were some grammatical errors which were a bit confusing, but other then that an amazing story! I definitely recommend this book!
I had the pleasure to get an early review copy of this novel, and I was very impressed with Pratt's writing style and abilities. Citing Ted Dekker as an influence, it's no wonder her style follows in the suspense genre and I personally can't wait for a sequel.
