One dance with a serial killer should be enough, but sometimes survival means you will fight for survival until you or the killer are dead. Unquiet by S.E. Meyer is a mystery/thriller/love story that does keep the reader interested from the beginning.
Mia is a crime podcaster. She survived an attack ten years prior to the time of this story. Her brush with death opened her advocacy for victim rights and the problems with the criminal justice system. In Unquiet, her voice resonates with many that have themselves found flaws in the system and those flaws leave many with heightened feelings that lead to actions that could be considered criminal but justified.
The players in her original case begin to be attacked and several are killed. She herself is attacked which lands her in protective custody. The original detective on her case and the officer that she has often villainized on her podcast becomes her protector. Being in such close proximity, a relationship blooms leaving her guessing her judgement on most areas of her thought process. She is cut off from contact with anyone other than law enforcement and her therapists. The suspect list is continually changing making for a deeper story.
I would recommend Unquiet by S.E. Meyer to the reader that enjoys mysteries and thrillers, stories that may or may not have obvious villain's. I had two negatives. First, the love story was too shallow, it happened too quickly. I would have enjoyed more depth and lead up. The second issue was the villain. I had it figured out a little faster than I would have hoped.
