Together, Meg and Charlie must face the fact this copycat killer is taunting them, leading them on a gruesome quest.
He's picked up where his mentor left off—and he's coming for them next.
My Thoughts
This book had me hooked from the start. I have my degree in criminal justice and love shows like Criminal Minds. 1st Shock was an awesome story and I didn’t want to put it down. The Schock sisters’ knowledge of a previous killer as well as the cold cases they are working on lead them toward a potential serial killer. This book was exciting and had elements of suspense and romance in addition to being a psychological thriller. I can’t wait to read book 2.
