The Drowned Girls (Angie Pallorino #1) - Loreth Anne White

A NetGalley e-book in exchange for an honest review.

“He surfaced two years ago. Then he disappeared…”

Warning, lots of triggers in this story.

We open the book into an intro where a girl is fighting for her life hooked up to ventilators her mind screaming to help the others. From there the plot continues to escalate.

The first in the Angie Pallorino series this book really takes off and leaves you with high expectations for the rest of the series.

Two years ago Pallorino worked two rape cases where the serial rapist had very distinct callings cards. After two silent years he has popped up again and his crimes are escalated to a new extreme. Pallorino has her own demons between her ailing mother, the loss of her partner months ago and slowly losing her mind. She has found comfort in anonymous sex and knows that she is going to get herself into trouble, not realizing how soon. Enter in new guy James Maddocks.

James is now her not so anonymous hookup and he becomes her new partner for the case, and her boss.  They are both fighting to keep their personal lives separate while trying to find the serial rapist.

Those are not the end of her problems though. As she chases the killer and the truth of what is happening she stumbles across secrets from her own past.

This is a big book, 524 pages, but a quick thrilling read.
