I loved reading this book! Margaret has been a fantastic character since she was introduced in Taking Eve. So now that she's gotten her own story, well, yeah, it was great to get to know her and watch her go on this journey!

We finally find out why she was on the island and working with the dogs. And how she'd gotten there. Both her earlier life, and the events of 3 years ago. I mean, we knew some details about her dad, but now we got the whole story. And the 3 years ago thing...not cool!

There were bits and pieces of romance in this book. It's not a focus, that's more on the action, but it is there. And there was a good balance of all these elements in this book! And we were introduced to Lassiter, who's another interesting character to add to the Eve Duncan world!

I'm conflicted on whether I want this to be a series or not. Because her and Lassiter, they have something of a relationship. And she's going to be, and probably him as well, in future books. And I don't want them to face any more conflict, but I want them to get together unless she's going to get a love triangle like Jane and have another option! So I'm totally conflicted!

Loved this book, it was so awesome, and I can't wait for more Iris Johansen books!

I love the Eve Duncan series and this was a perfect spin off to give us the history of Margaret.
