A new spine-tingling thriller from the bestselling master of edge-of-your-seat stories. When Casey Duncan first arrived at Rockton, the off-the-grid, isolated community built as a haven for people running from their pasts, she had no idea what to expect. There are no cell phones, no internet, no mail and no way of getting in or out without the town council's approval. She certainly didn't expect to become the town homicide detective. But, the very last thing she expected was for the council to drop a dangerous criminal into their midst without a plan to keep him imprisoned. And she never thought that she'd have to be responsible for him. The longer Oliver Brady stays in town, the more people seem to die around him. When evidence begins piling up that someone inside Rockton is working as his accomplice, Casey races to figure out who exactly Brady is and what crimes he's truly responsible for committing. With dangerous secrets and heart-stopping twists, This Fallen Prey is Kelley Armstrong's most gripping thriller yet.
WrensReads Review:
This was a great addition to the series.
So you know the big, rich people who make up all the rules and pull people on strings like a puppeteer? Well they decided that they are now going to make Rockton a place where they can hide wanted fugitives! Their first choice is someone who literally just kills for the fun of it and they want Rockton to keep him for like six months until his precious island is ready for him to live on!
Like series, wtf were they thinking? The people who go to Rockton are hiding from people like that and are dealing with a lot of PTSD. They need to get their heads out of their wallets and into reality where people literally will get killed.
Because guess what? Of course, after a series of unfortunate events, he gets loose and people start killing people and he’s all like but wait, I’m innocent it was the guy who sent me here and then everyone else is like wait, who is he and why is he locked up with a gag on and people die and blah blah blah blah…
It’s all really, really unfortunate because they have already dealt with two killers; and now to be literally gift-wrapped a third and to not know if he is completely innocent like he says or guilty like the letter that came with him said… I just feel for these people.
The writing is, of course, exquisite because it’s Kelley Armstrong and anything she touches turns to gold. Literally I will read anything she writes. Even if it is strictly romance (which HI I usually HATE STRICTLY ROMANCE BOOKS, I will be reading it. I am slowly but surely jumping through her collections.
Now, I will say this is the weaker installment of the three so far. But it does leave you on a cliffhanger and now I am made that I have to wait until 2019 to read the fourth book.
