    About this ebook

    In a chilling new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub, one woman looking for love online is entangled in a killer's terrifying scheme.

    In the moonlight, shovelfuls of earth fall on a wooden crate at the bottom of a deep pit. Soon the hole will be filled and covered over with leaves, erasing all trace of the victim below, waking to the horror of being buried alive.

    Newly divorced Gaby Duran isn't really expecting to find her soul mate on a dating site like InTune. She just needs a distraction from pining over her ex-husband, Ben, and the happy marriage they once had. And she's wise enough to know that online, the truth doesn't always match the profile. Almost everyone lies a little—or a lot.

    But Gaby quickly discovers there is much more at stake than her lonely heart. Local singles are going missing after making online connections. And a predator is searching again for the perfect match. One who will fulfill every twisted desire . . . or die trying.

      Good but not her best, a little drug out in places. I enjoyed the second half of the book but I wish the wrap up was a little more.....I feel like characters were just dropped and forgotten. However, I still love her and I will be waiting for her release in the Fall!
    • 1/5
      This was the most confusing book i have ever read. Characters jumping in and out of paragraphs, unsure of why they were there.
      Waste of time reading this - got half way and gave up. Rubbish writing
