Reviews (Excerpts)

- "[...] I appreciated the detail Ms. Chase went into describing the scenery and characters. I love to be able to see in my head what the characters and surroundings look like, and I did not find myself having to fill in the blanks. There are plenty of twists and turns in this book to keep you on your toes. Every time I thought I had the suspect nailed, the next thing would happen that would throw me off! Ms. Chase had been put on my "author's to watch" list to keep track of her new book releases. I will go back and read Compulsion and Dead Game [...]" - Pamela Wilson

- "This Emily Stone novel takes her to a whole different location as she tracks child predators to the Island of Kauai. She and Rick are confronted with a lot of different problems. The story is fast moving and the excitements really builds. I couldn't put it down and had to stay with it until I finished. Great read and Jennifer Chase has done it again." - B. Altman

- "[...] This story does not stop from the moment it starts. Fast, Fast, Fast paced is how the story goes and you can't help but run with it. The fact that it is written by an actual criminologist really gives you a great insight into how crimes are solved and the things they experience. A great story for anyone looking for an edge of your seat read!" - S. Galegos

- "[...] The author paints a vivid picture of the beautiful island of Kauai, and then loads it up with violent criminals. Go figure. The suspense is incredible--find out for yourself!! Good job, Chase." - Joyce (Amazon)
