Zoe studied Pete. Police Chief Pete Adams. Always in control, Pete, who never took crap from anyone. Pete, who could calm the township's fears or shut up a pushy newshound with one look. And now here he sat. Helpless. With his ass hanging out of a hospital gown. Unfortunately for her, he was lying on his back.

I just really love this series. It is just so easy to get hooked into these books that time just flies by. In this book Zoe Chambers, while still doing her work as a paramedic, gets caught up in the investigation of an apparent suicide that might have a connection to the deaths of some of Zoe's distant relatives.

Zoe is back and she is working with Chief of Police Pete Adams and I just wish that they will finally turn their friendship into a relationship. I just love seeing them work together again. They have a great dynamic. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters, especially Pete's dad, Harry. I loved Harry and hope that there is more of him in this series. The one character that I absolutely loathed was Zoe's mom, Kimberly. She was such a bitch and I felt so bad for Zoe.

It was really easy to get caught up in the plot of this book. I, of course, had my theories as to what I thought happened and I turned out to be wrong. When I really think about it it isn't extremely hard to figure out who was behind everything but it won't lessen your interest any.

I was going to give this book five stars until I got to the big conflict at the end. There was one glaring fact that I felt made the conflict a bit unbelievable. It was still exciting nonetheless.

I would recommend this book and series if you are looking for a great mystery filled with characters that jump off of the pages. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the galley.
