Great book!
This is the first novel by Cody Mcfayden I have read. Wow. I was very pleased with his imagination and ability to keep me on the edge of my seat. I love the character of Smoky. Cant wait to read more of his work.

Good story, lame characters
I liked the story and it has a good twist at the end but I don't care for the author's style. I didn't care at all for the characters he created and I found Cassie to be just plain annoying. I think I'll stick with Connelly.

Detective Smoky Barrett is a tough as nails female detective. The members of her team all have unique personalities, that keep things interesting. This story keeps you on edge throughout the whole book.This book is a great read for teens as well as adults. There are 4 books in this series.

Riveting, thrilling, be prepared to stay up into the wee hours reading!
Amazing. Never before has an author been able to retain my attention span right through to the very end. This book is best described like like the most horrifying automobile accident one can imagine - yet one MUST stop, slow down, and pause to take it all in. It's disturbing how well written this book just is. Thank God the villains actions were a tad corny or I'd seriously be pondering the authors mental faculties. Riveting, from the very first page to the very, very end.

I am a single mom of a two year old and this book gave me nightmares, insights into my parenting, questions as a woman, compassion for others, joy, and sorrow. This authors writing flows so well and is so well organized that he pulls you into the book in such a way that you have to actually put it down to recenter yourself in the here and now.
Amazing. Horrific and beautiful and the very same time. -

Terrific read!!!
This really is a must read author. If you haven't read him before, you must MUST start. This is the first book in the Smoky Barrett series. Starts off with a punch and leaves you breathless throughout. Simply couldn't put this book down. I have read all of the greats...Cornwell, Koontz, Patterson, Deaver, King, Sanford, etc. This guy is just a great if not better at story lines. Start with this one and be sure to get the other three.

Order to read is Shadow Man, Face of Death, Darker Side, Abandoned. Hopefully he will come out with a new one soon. -
Great Thriller
This was a fast-paced thriller that had me hooked from the beginning. Loved the strong character of Smoky and her team and look forward to reading the other books in this series. There is a lot of graphic violence in this book, so that may bother some readers. I don't mind as long as it's relative to the story, but there were even a few scenes that made me cringe. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller/mystery with a great cast of characters.

Great Book
Read it and enjoy it. I hope to see many more by this author. On par with Jeffrey Deaver, early P. Cornwell, James Patterson, John Sandford, Michael Connelly.

Great Story
This was the first book I read by this author. As I usually don't seem to like female characters(usually written by female suspense writers), I was pleasantly surprised by this story. Great characters and awesome story. Only problem with it was I guessed the ending. Still, it was a great ride getting there.

A Real Page Turner
This book is a great read, and if you are not put off by some of the violence, the reward is there. The pace is quick, and the characters are well drawn. I only wish it had been a little longer. I hope the author brings Smoky back in another stirring book.

Frightening
This is a book that starts off easy to read. By the time you're into it by 50 pages, you're hooked. As you read further, the horror that the author conveys is so real you may find yourself putting the book down to reaquaint yourself with your own world. This is a plausible nightmare and one that may, in fact, creep into your sleep world.

Great Debut
Hard to believe that this is Cody McFadyen's first book. He writes better than a lot of writers who have 5-6 books under their belt. If you enjoy suspense (with a little gore) than this book is for you.

Captivating
What a book for a first time author. Can't wait for his next one. This one was even better than Silence of the Lambs. When Smokey was relaying her horrible nightmares you were right there with her in her dreams. This is the first time I have ever written a review from a book and I read constantly.

A Terrific Thriller
Smoky Barrett is the best serial killer tracker the FBI has. Her emotional and physical scars, however, may get in the way of her capturing the most heinous yet brilliant foe the Bureau and Smoky has faced in recent history. How our hero got those scars is an inter-related subplot in this fast-moving thriller. The author creates characters with substance. Readers will care about the fate of the brave, yet imperfect, law enforcement figures while fearing and despising 'Jack, Jr.' and his cohorts. Author Cody McFadyen's first novel is a winner. I look forward to Smoky Barrett's future exploits, as will readers of this outstanding book.
