HER FROZEN HEART by STACY GREEN
The girl’s pretty face was relaxed, snowflakes settling on her cheeks as they began to fall over the quiet frozen lake where she’d been found. She could have been sleeping… but her empty eyes and the blooming bruises around her neck told a different story…
When Special Agent Nikki Hunt receives a call on Christmas Day, she knows it can’t be good news. Seventeen-year-old missing teenager Kesha Williams has at last been found… her body floating in an icy forest lake, miles from her hometown.
As Nikki rushes to the scene, she’s chilled to see the past repeating itself. Kesha disappeared from the mall where Nikki’s own little girl was targeted the year before. With Kesha’s grieving parents desperate for answers and the media out for blood, Nikki promises she’ll find Kesha’s killer no matter what it takes.
Local police are convinced it was Kesha’s boyfriend, who was spotted disappearing from security cameras that day at the mall, but Nikki isn’t so sure. The dense marshes and unstable ground around the crime scene mean it’s nearly inaccessible from the road. Whoever took Kesha is a local, and this probably isn’t his first kill.
Nikki’s worst fears are confirmed when the team find another grave on the shore – a second teenage girl, her body wound in a brightly coloured beach towel. Suddenly on the hunt for a serial killer, Nikki knows that an early break is the key to solving this case. But as the body count rises, will Nikki be able to find Kesha’s killer… or will he find her first?
An unputdownable thriller that will keep you up all night! Fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Robert Dugoni will absolutely love this gripping read.

MY THOUGHTS
This series has kept me hooked from the very first book. Each one gets better and better. That's not saying the first one is any less great than number six. This whole series is great. You get to know Nikki Hunt completely. From her first case to this one. You follow her career after the loss of her parents' brutal murder. Why she decided to become a FBI agent.
This book had me on the edge of my seat so many times. It's so intense and even a bit scary in parts. Not like a horror story but just what it is, a true thriller. You'll be guessing who the murderer is and most likely you will be wrong. I did figure it out but I think because I read so many thrillers it gives an advantage. Or I just related to this book that much. When this murderer was introduced I held my breath. I just didn't trust this person. But it's so well written that that did not in any way take away from this story for me. This book is truly great.
Stacy Green takes you through the freezing snow and ice discovering new leads. Finding new bodies. Trying to figure out who the serial killer is. She is good at her job. No one can touch her in the ways that she does things. While in her personal life she has a few things going on. Her daughter and her boyfriend. Both mean a lot to her and there is nothing she won't do for her daughter. You will love her and Rory, Nikki's boyfriend. He's a great guy as is his family. At first his family was a bit standoffish to Nikki. Because of her, in a way, their other son did time in prison for her parents' murder. They did finally come around though and love Nikki and Lacey very much. Lacey is Nikki's daughter.
This book is set in the freezing cold state of Minnesota. You will feel the freezing bitter cold. The fear in the description of the first girl this killer took. The anger Nikki feels when she finally does know who this killer is. How things unfold and how this killer is taken down. You get a look at how things really happen in this type of case. So much research goes into writing and this author did not disappoint in any way. I hope this series continues and I do believe it will. I honestly look forward to the next book. This one is top notch great.
Thank you #NetGalley, #StacyGreen, #Bookouture for this ARC. This is my own true thoughts about this book.
5 huge stars and a very high recommendation. It's that good y'all.
