The exciting sequel to The Serpent's Bridge...

A serial killer is on the loose. With her insidious tattoo and venomous killer strike, they’re calling her the serpent woman.

But, as the cat-and-mouse chase evolves, Nazario and Huxley begin to realize that their killer is on a mission of vigilante justice and they must struggle with the question of who really deserves their justice: The killer, or her victims?


Review:

This book picks up where the first one left off, and it sets a fast pace. Again centered around crime, the book unravels piece by piece the mystery that is, the circumstances that caused the crime in the first place. It kept me thoroughly hooked, and I actually did have a hard time putting it down.

The character development is so good especially Ananya Nazario and Huxley's and delivers perfect emotions.

While there were a few situations which made me suspend my disbelief, I found the premise interesting and I had a hard time putting the book down.

This book is definitely a page turner that is not only an intriguing mystery, but has wonderfully developed characters and makes the reader stop and think about morality and what it really entails.

Von Schlange' s strange yet strongest character that made this book turn everything upside down. I could go on for ages highlighting all the great things in this book - I have absolutely nothing negative to say or complain about, and it was wonderful to read a book with proper plot and twist. 

The twists and turns of the story were exactly what was needed for this amazing book.

Thanks to the author for creating this wonderful mystery thriller.

Rating : 5/5
