Summary

This FBI agent has come to expect almost anything—just not this…

When Agent Mercedes Ramirez finds an abused young boy on her porch, covered in blood and clutching a teddy bear, she has no idea that this is just the beginning. He tells her a chilling tale: an angel killed his parents and then brought him here so Mercedes could keep him safe.

His parents weren’t just murdered. It was a slaughter—a rage kill like no one on the Crimes Against Children team had seen before. But they’re going to see it again. An avenging angel is meting out savage justice, and she’s far from through.

One by one, more children arrive at Mercedes’s door with the same horror story. Each one a traumatized survivor of an abusive home. Each one chafing at Mercedes’s own scars from the past. And each one taking its toll on her life and career.

Now, as the investigation draws her deeper into the dark, Mercedes is beginning to fear that if this case doesn’t destroy her, her memories might.

This book not only gives the stark realisation of the horrors in the world and what FBI agents have to go through, but also how children can be so elastic and bounce back from hell on earth to a life of their choice thanks to the bravery of a few. This book is brutal, honest and truthful yet showing beauty at every corner. truly and easily one of the best books I have listened to In a long time.
I highly recommend the trilogy to anyone.

fantastic!

I love all of these books but the second didn’t quite meet the level of the first however this book brings it right back. An absolute must read!
Only down side to this is the Spanish without translation which was very frustrating!

As good as the first

This author gets better with each book in my opinion.
Like all crime authors I’m glad they are writing a story and not committing the crimes.
I love the premise of the 2 sides of the same coin as we learn more about Ramirez’s past as the story of the crime progresses.
Seeing things spiral out of control isn’t easy as I get so caught up I forget it’s not real.
I highly recommend reading the series in order to fully appreciate the growth of the regular characters.
I love crime stories that are solved satisfactorily.

A terrific story
