I’ve never looked into the soul of a murderer before. But these eyes in front of me right now grant me access, offering a chilling glimpse. They look like they belong to the man I buried six months ago.
The brown eyes staring back at me are calculating and unforgiving—like I did something to make him hate me this much. It’s like he'd been waiting for this moment. Why else would his face light up while he watches me slowly slip away?
He wears a state trooper uniform, which is probably why the guards let him into this heavily guarded community. His khaki shirt has his name embroidered on his left breast pocket, just above a gold badge. It seems he wants me to know his name. But for however long he lets me live, I will never forget that Derek Ramsey knows more about me than I do about him. Still, I have no idea who he really is, what he wants, or why he believes that tying me up and slicing me open will force me to give him anything—even if I could.
I have less than ten minutes to live. Five of those I’m spending trying to figure out who sent him. The other five, I’ll use to stay alive long enough for Cher to find me. My heart pounds, a desperate reminder of how little time I have left. The clock on the wall ticks, each second matching my heartbeat, a countdown to my last breath. I’ll probably leave this room in a body bag—unless Cher finds me first. I’m cold, feeling even colder as a steady stream of crimson fluid oozes from me, and my sister is the only person I can think of who’s brave enough to save me. If I survive, she will never forgive herself for ignoring my SOS messages. If I don’t make it, God help this son of a bitch. For his sake, I'd better live.
I wanted to go on “Maury” ten years ago. Now I understand why Dad was so dead set against the idea. He knew something that I didn’t.
The man towering over me looks just like my father. Same eyes, jawline, and height. His whole damn face looks familiar. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I’m looking at a ghost. Something in my gut tells me that even if I could, no amount of pleading would save me. He’s here to make sure I don’t walk out of here alive.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this story. From the mysterious dark cover and the description written on the back I knew this book would be about incidents of violence, trauma, and undying love. It grabs you from the very beginning and keeps getting better and better. Immediately, you just want to know what happens next. I read it so fast because the story is truly addictive. Now I have to slow down and digest it- this book is unbelievably good, very well written, perfectly paced, and keeps you engaged throughout. This will make a great gift- man or woman. A story that must be shared.
