Review:

The drama and thrills continue in the fifth book with Detective Nikki Heat pursuing a serial killer who is dubbed the Rainbow Killer after leaving various colors of string at the crime scene. After numerous murders which also includes a news reporter, the killer is now going after Nikki Heat.

But trying to find a killer isn't the only thing on Nikki's mind, she's trying to stop a possible attack on NYC which ties into her mother's murder. And complicating the matter is involvement from the FBI. Who she's not sure is helping or hindering her?

With both cases putting extreme pressure on Nikki she's going to have to be on her guard especially with trained killer Salena Kaye still lurking around. Nikki nearly missed being poisoned by the elusive killer earlier in the story but with so many things going on it's going to take all Nikki has to crack both cases.

And Jameson Rook continues to be an amusing pain as well as inspiration for Nikki as their relationship deepens.

The story was fast paced, action packed and had me enjoying every minute of it. There were a lot of twists and turns, some I sort of figured out but that didn't stop me from enjoying this.

I can't wait to read more books from this series.
