Summary

A disgraced FBI agent is challenged to a life-or-death match by a deviously clever kidnapper in this propulsive novel by USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb.

Former FBI agent Ryan McBride crashed and burned three years ago after a case took a fatal turn. He swore he was done with the Bureau forever—until Special Agent Vivian Grace shows up at his door with a new case he can’t refuse.

Six-year-old Alyssa Byrne has been kidnapped, and her abductor, alias Devoted Fan, has threatened to kill her in twenty-four hours. He promises to reveal the girl’s location to the FBI on one condition: He’ll only talk to McBride.

With the clock ticking, Grace and McBride race to solve Devoted Fan’s puzzles, each more twisted than the last. But when another victim goes missing, with a promise of more to come, they realize that Devoted Fan is not just a stranger with a deranged obsession. His sick game is somehow connected to both their pasts—but around which dark corner lies the answer?

Revised edition: Previously published as Nameless, this edition of The Devoted Game includes editorial revisions.

Such a twisted puzzle...is Devoted Fan looking for redemption for Ryan McBride? Or is he out for revenge for perceived wrongs?
I love the broken and reckless character of McBride, he carries so much misplaced guilt and punishes himself on a daily.... hourly....minute by minute basis. But for Ryan the victims ALWAYS come first and so, even though he knows he is likely to become a target, he also knows he has no choice but to return to help the FBI as the Devoted Fam requests. Because the bottom line is...he would never forgive himself if he refused and a life was lost. For this alone you have to respect and love him...which is the problem Vivian Grace has. She knows his reputation, she also has moments when she would happily shoot him...but she also cannot deny the chemistry or the pull between them.
They have an explosive relationship, both in and out of work, but McBride and Grace have also both suffered traumatic events that still impact their everyday life, and that makes it easy for them to relate to each other and offer an acceptance and understanding few others can.
I LOVE this book! Please tell me we will get more books with McBride and Grace? Can we have a full series?
I listened to this on Audible with Kindle Unlimited.

Revenge or redemption?

The narration was engaging. I love when there are two or more narrators. The storyline was fast paced with both Ryan and Vivian racing against time to solve each of the puzzles set by the Devoted Fan. I hope we see more from these characters as I thought they worked well together.
