I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. However, the main character did things that someone being stalked should never do. Why???? It irritated me that an strong, intelligent woman would do so many dumb things. The murder-mystery plot was believable, but the culprit became rather obvious. However, there were a couple of twists to the story that kept it interesting.
So....decent story, intriguing plot, and interesting characters, but the main character did too many dumb things. This is the first novel in this series and there were some unfinished items that could show up in the next book. Overall, it was a good, but not great book.

This one was just okay. I didn’t dislike the overall story. But, I did feel it was longer than it needed to be.

Dr. Samantha Leeds is a psychiatrist that gives consultation to people through the radio waves. Then she starts getting threatening prank calls and messages threatening to reveal her darkest secret, the secret that was the reason she left Houston.
At the same time, a serial killer is on the loose, leaving weird clues behind.
Are the two connected? Is the killer out to get Samantha? Or is it just plain coincidence?
This was such an interesting book, twists and turns and surprises all the way.
It was the first time I read for Lisa Jackson and it will be the first in many, I loved her story-telling it was so gripping you just have to know what's going to happen next.
I will schedule Cold Blooded, the sequel for this book to be read soon :)
For all those crime/serial killer/murder fans.. This is highly recommended ;)
Quotes I enjoyed from the book:
Wonderful, he thought sarcastically, as the fan blew hot air against the back of his neck, just what this city needs: a serial killer.
Now I know why she's such a bargain. Bright Angel, my ass. More like Satan's Revenge. Maybe I'll rename her if I decide to buy.
Dr. Sam's voice was farther away now, muffled by the static on the radio and the buzz in his mind, but soon, oh, so soon, Samantha Leeds would understand.
About forgiveness and retribution.
About atonement and punishment.
About paying.
For her sins.
All of them.
He'd make her.
Just you wait, Doctor. Your time is coming. Then we'll see what you think about forgiveness, he thought, stroking himself.
Then we'll hear you beg.

Radio Psychologist Dr. Sam Leeds is being haunted with threatening phone calls from a man who calls himself Father John. Dr. Sam is the object of his fascination and his reasoning for murder. As her life becomes more in danger, a mysterious neighbor enters her life and his secrets may change everything Sam believes.
This book was mediocre. The story had so much potential but the writing was so dull I found I couldn’t pay attention to what was happening with the characters. The romance is instant, even thought the fmc knows she shouldn’t get involved with this man she just met. I wish we could’ve known more about who was suspected and why, the reveal seemed very out of left field for me.
