Two years ago, five women went missing. Last year, ten disappeared. Both times, it happened in December.

Now it’s December again, and five more have vanished. To social worker, Madison Taylor, the women are not only her clients. They are her friends. Despite the recent discovery of the remains of five females, the police continue to be unhelpful because of the lifestyle the missing women lead.

Even after Madison is attacked and threatened, she stays determined to uncover the truth. How does her attacker know about the monster from her past? Madison’s identity was never made public.

Is this the work of a serial killer or something even more horrific?

My Review

In Death Isn’t Enough, Madison Taylor was my favourite character, And here she is with her own story. At the end of the previous book, she had been abducted by Eric Foster aka Foster Ericson, who was obsessed with her now sister-in-law Noa, who he called Emily. Do keep up!

Foster is safely locked away in prison, so Madison should be safe. Except there’s another villain on the scene this time. And he knows more about Madison than he should. Her name was never revealed to the press and Foster hasn’t had any visitors in prison.

Madison was rescued from her abductor by Clay Davis of the SWAT team and they are gradually becoming closer, though she can’t believe he would want her after everything that happened. As a social worker, Madison sets out to help the women who have resorted to prostitution to pay their way, but too many have disappeared and the police aren’t taking it seriously.

On an island near Shadow Bay a group of men have booked two weeks on a so-called ‘singles’ holiday. It’s actually an opportunity to drink loads and have sex with the women provided for them. Everyone uses a false identity – the women with names like Vegas and Dakota, the men being renamed Blade and Crush. But we know the organiser is called Adam and he’s a sadistic monster.

Can the women be rescued in time before they end up disappearing like the others? Madison has been threatened, her flat broken into and messages left for her. But it’s not enough to stop her investigating with the help of Clay, detective Gina Larson, her partner Duke, and let’s not forget King the dog, who technically just provides furry moral support.

Once again this is an exciting, if dark read, but with a lot of warmth because of the love, friendship and family dynamic. And I know there’s another book coming after.

Many thanks to the author and https://www.enticingjourneybookpromotions.com/ for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.
