I have come to admire Lucy Kincaid, I don't know that I would be able to live through all the horrible things that she has had to. So now that I am done reading this book I have to say that I am glad that Lucy wasn't the person that was on the line. Does that mean that she escaped unscathed, no, it is just that her hurts this time around are more emotional than physical. Lucy is still trying to navigate her new relationship with Sean, which is not made any easier with Patrick's very obvious disapproval. Lucy also hears back from the FBI and things aren't looking good there. And all she can think of is all the crappy things that have happened in her life, the baggage that it brought, and how it is once again destroying her life. Sean manages to break through the wall Lucy is putting up by pulling her into the case he is working on. This case is right up Lucy's alley. As the chase down the missing girl they end up in New York, right in the path of a task force between the FBI and the NYPD. Knocked off her game Lucy sometimes doesn't listen to her instincts, but still is able to give more help than the task force has gotten in months. Little by little Lucy gets back into the swing of things and becomes an integral player. While bouncing ideas off a friend at the FBI she gets some great advice both on the case and about her application. Both of these allow her move forward to figure out the bad guy and what her next move will be. What I really liked about this book is the relationships. We have Lucy and Sean. They both are surprising honest with themselves which allows their actions to speak what they can't at times. Sean always seems to know what Lucy needs often before she does and is willing to step back and let her be. I also really like the sibling relationship between Lucy and Patrick. They have such a special relationship from past tragedies, so when they are fighting it seems to hit harder. And Sean and Patrick, it is hard enough when you are friends and then start to work together, harder still when one starts to date the others sister.
