This is the third book in the Rockton series. Casie and Eric Dulton are out do somethings away from town, when they hear a plane landing at the small airport.

Thay don't have a way to hold someone that's this dangerous. 

When they call Phil, he just tells them that they will have to figure it out. Taking the gag off his mouth just tells them that he will try what ever he can to make him seem like he's incent of whatever the letter says. Then, they take him for a walk a little ways into the woods when gun fire starts. They think someone is trying to kill him and maybe someone has hired a sniper. 

One day or so after that, Oliver is getting sick real bad and it looks like he's got poisoned. They pump his stomach and Val asks to sit with him. They don't know that he has a plan to escape. Which he does. He takes Val with him making it look like she's a hostage.

Later after they've settled down in their camp, they hear a woman scream. They find three people dead and a girl soaked in blood. 

The end of this book, I didn't see coming. you'll have to pick it up and read it. It wasn't to bad and it moved at a fairly good pace. 

City of the lost by Kelley Armstrong

 

This the first book in the Rockton series. Casey is a detective and has been hiding in a way from something she has done many years ago. She killed a guy. Her friend Diana seems to get into trouble because she can't seem to get away from her ex-husband. Diana mentions this place she's heard about that takes people in that need to hide. 

Casey finally decides to contact them after her boyfriend if that's what you call him gets shot. At first she's told she's not a good candidate but, they need someone like her. She's a homicide detective and pretty damn good at her job. Meeting Eric Dulton, he's a peace of work and a hard ass. They finally agree to take both her and Diana. She is afford the job for only six months. 

The trip there isn't easy and where she's going is in the Yukon. Cold place. Eric is the Sheriff and he informs Casey that there have been people that have gone missing. After, getting there she's finding out that it's more then them going missing, they seem to turn up dead and in a gruesome way. Not easy for her to see. Eric is still not easy to deal with.   He's a lot grumpy and seems to watch her and spends a lot of time outside looking into the forest not far from their little town.

Trying to figure out what's going on, he seems to constantly be watching her and showing himself into her house. 

As time goes by, she gets into the hang of things in the town. Trying to figure the mystery out and trying to understand Eric. He teaches her a lot about the woods. There are some reveals in this book that surprised me. I'll have to read another book in this series. 

Read the book if you haven't, its really, really good. Short chapters as will.
