When Cyra’s younger sister, Mira, is murdered, Cyra knows better than to expect justice from the police department. So when the connection is made that it may be a serial killer, Cyra knows she must take the investigation into her own hands.

Using insider information, Cyra infiltrates a support group for serial killers by pretending to be one herself, Mistletoe. By pretending to be one of them, Cyra hopes she can find the person who ended her sister’s life. But, the deeper she goes into the world of the serial killers, the harder it is to keep hold of who she truly is. 

I had to kind of remind myself to enjoy this and not think too technical with how Cyra was going about her secret identity and the group of serial killers. It also had a hard time believing that serial killers wouldn’t talk about their kills – shoot we all know a lot of killers end up getting caught because they talk about it, or have to get their own credit and it not be given to someone else.

I did like when the serial killers talked about themselves, but I still had a hard time remembering who was who.

<spoiler> The fighting that Cyra learned to protect herself ultimately ended up being what saves her was predictable because how else would she have beat a much bigger and stronger man </spoiler>

Overall, this is a fun premise of a book, but characters outside Cyra fall slightly flat and it is a bit predictable.
