Just Try To Stop Me

Seduction. Mind control. Murder. These are the weapons that have made Brenda Nevins one of the most wanted—and feared—criminals in the world. Now the notorious serial killer has escaped from prison and is plotting her revenge. Using innocent young women as bait, she will lure her unsuspecting victims into her trap. This time, sheriff’s detective Kendall Stark and forensic pathologist Birdy Waterman won’t be able to stop her. The killing will be filmed. The feed will be live. And the blood will be streaming . . .

My Review

This series is going in the right direction for me. The prior novel I read featuring Birdy and Kendall and serial killer Brenda was "just alright". I had found Brenda to be the only strong character in the book. Yet, this time, Brenda was not the only one. Both Kendall and Birdy were as strong. Birdy may come off as more of the quiet one but she really came through when it counted the most.
Brenda is one evil bitch. She kind of had a hint of another famous serial killer that I love and adore from Chelsea Cain's series named Gretchen. What makes Brenda so captivating and intriguing is her narcissistic self obsession with being famous. There was one hand where I wanted Kendall and Birdy to stop Brenda but on the other hand I didn't want them to catch Brenda. I wanted to see just how far she really would go. I can't wait to read the next book.

  Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child. Later, following her mother’s sudden death, Elizabeth’s wise, principled father attempts to fill his late wife’s shoes with a string of loopy, live-in housekeepers―with privileges, he hopes. Before it is over the Mexican escapade will bring down the kind of disasters commonly found in pulp fiction. Why can’t Elizabeth stop any of this from happening?
