Lizzy Gardner, now a grown young woman working as a private investigor, still cannot sleep through the night without reliving her abduction. As a teenager, she was taken off the street in the middle of the night by Spiderman, a serial killer who thinks of himself as some kind of vigilante, ridding the streets of girls whom he considered to be disrespectful or too provocative. Lizzy was able to escape, but not before watching him torture a number of girls right in front of her. The police believed they had the real Spiderman incarcerated, despite Lizzy's claims they had the wrong guy.
Now, years later-- he's back, and he wants revenge.
Lizzy must find Spiderman before he kills more innocent girls, and his taunts draw her closer to him. With the help of her past high school boyfriend, Jared, a now handsome-in-uniform FBI agent, Jessica, her assistant who has secrets of her own and Hayley, a girl with enough troubles of her own who takes it upon herself to help Lizzy hunt down the man hunting her.
T.R. Ragan draws you in with the mystery, and keeps you there with Lizzy's determination, fear and a little bit of sexual tension between her and Jared.
It was a page turner, but a warning to the weak-stomached-- obviously, there is a lot of torturous, grueling situations in this book, as with most serial killer themed novels. Additionally, there is some sadistic content. If that's not a subject you can handle, don't bother picking this book up.
I was definitely excited to find out there is a Lizzy Garner series. I am in the middle of the second book, "Dead Weight." Look for that review coming soon.
