Publisher Description
Eden faces a final reckoning when the cult's past victims hunt them down in this explosive, high-stakes thriller in the Sacramento series from New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose.
For decades, Eden has remained hidden in the remote wilds of the Pacific Northwest, “Pastor” keeping his cult's followers in thrall for his personal profit and sexual pleasures. But the Founding Elders are splintering, and Pastor's surrogate son DJ is scheming to make it all his own.
When two of Eden's newest members send out a cry for help, it reaches FBI Special Agent Tom Hunter, whose friend and fellow FBI Special Agent Gideon Reynolds and his sister, Mercy, are themselves escapees of the Eden cult, targeted by the Founding Elders who want them silenced forever. The three have vowed to find the cult and bring it down, and now, they finally have a solid lead.
Neutralizing Eden’s threat will save captive members and ensure Tom’s new friends can live without fear. But when his best friend, ex-Army combat medic Liza Barkley, joins the case, it puts her life—and their blossoming love—in danger. With everything they hold dear in the balance, Tom and Liza, together with Gideon and Mercy, must end Eden once and for all.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rose sends out her Sacramento trilogy (after Say No More) with an irresistible, heart-pounding thrill ride. FBI Special Agent Tom Hunter is determined to find and shut down Eden, the corrupt, violent, and well-funded religious cult that victimized his friends Gideon Reynolds and Mercy Callahan as children. Now the cult is holding pregnant teenager Hayley Gibbs and her 12-year-old brother, Graham, hostage at their compound in northern California, though no one knows where. Combat medic Liza Barkley, Tom's best friend, is all-in on the rescue mission. Ignoring Tom's wish that she stay safe, she goes undercover as a nursing assistant in a private hospital where Eden's leader, the Pastor, is recovering with his murderous second-in-command, DJ Belmont. As DJ racks up a body count, both Tom and Liza are thrown in jeopardy, and their friendship evolves into love as they fight for their lives. The twisty plot will keep readers on the edges of their seats as they're led through a dizzying maze of dangerous situations and even more dangerous villains. Rose has a gift for making readers care deeply about her characters, and she certainly doesn't disappoint here; Tom and Liza will win readers' hearts and Hayley steals every scene she's in. This is a knockout.
Customer Reviews
Excellent read.
My first Karen Rose read and I will be looking for more. This is the last book in a trilogy and I have not read the first two, so you do not need them to grasp the story. Intense, violent with a side of romance. I enjoyed this story so much. Grab this, it is well worth a visit.
