I recommend reading this series in order just because the characters go through so much. You would miss out on so much history between different characters and their growth. The actual case is a standalone but Nate & Madison's personal life plays a big part in this story. I felt for both of them and what they were going through. I was rooting for them the whole time because they are so cute together and they both deserve some happiness.

The whole book was a rollercoaster. The flashback chapters were heartbreaking. It's a fast paced read that had me hooked the whole time. There is a lot going on with a headless body, a missing child, an abduction, and a whole lot of drama in Madison's personal life. I didn't want to put it down. A fantastic read packed full of suspense.  The end was such a surprise
