This FBI agent has come to expect almost anything―just not this…

When Agent Mercedes Ramirez finds an abused young boy on her porch, covered in blood and clutching a teddy bear, she has no idea that this is just the beginning. He tells her a chilling tale: an angel killed his parents and then brought him here so Mercedes could keep him safe.

His parents weren’t just murdered. It was a slaughter―a rage kill like no one on the Crimes Against Children team had seen before. But they’re going to see it again. An avenging angel is meting out savage justice, and she’s far from through.

One by one, more children arrive at Mercedes’s door with the same horror story. Each one a traumatized survivor of an abusive home. Each one chafing at Mercedes’s own scars from the past. And each one taking its toll on her life and career.

Now, as the investigation draws her deeper into the dark, Mercedes is beginning to fear that if this case doesn’t destroy her, her memories might.

First I just want to say that this book is my favourite of the series. Hands down one of the best books I’ve read this year. I usually choose the first book in a series as my favourite but not this time. Don’t think this has ever happened to me before either.

I’m also really liking that each book is from a different agent’s point of view. This one is in Mercedes’ POV and even when I finished the first chapter only, I had a feeling this was going to a doozy and man was I right.

My first thought was, who the heck are these kids that keep showing up at her door? Are they from one of the foster homes she stayed at? WHO ARE THEY??

Right away I wasn’t a fan of Mercedes’ girlfriend. She knows what Mercedes does for a living and yet, she was not supportive at all and made it seem like Mercedes asked for this crap to happen to her.

As we dive deeper into these random children showing up at Mercedes door, we learn that it’s not so random and that there’s a purpose. An angel is saving them but why? Who is this angel?

I don’t want to give too much away but man, this book was SO good. I do suggest starting with the first book though. Because each book is about a different agent and you learn more about their lives, their friendships with each other and so on. I also love that you see Inara, Bliss and Priya quite often. I just love this whole family dynamic.

My reader heart is so full right now.
