Excellent series!
Another hit by Maegan Beaumont. She is an excellent writer. This book is great in my humble opinion. Sabrina is one tough cookie. After getting shot in the thigh with a bullet, she struggles to keep going through the pain. Her career is in trouble. Her love life is struggling too. This book left me wanting more. Very enjoyable.
This is second in the series featuring Homicide Detective Sabrina Vaughn, and a re-read for me. I now have the 3rd in the series, PROMISES TO KEEP, and I wanted to read again so as to not miss anything.
Sabrina's background is that she was abducted when she was a teenager, held for 2 months, being tortured and raped on a daily basis before being left for dead. Book 1, CARVED IN DARKNESS, has Sabrina returning to her hometown and looking for the man who not only 'killed' her, but all the women he has killed since then.
SACRIFICIAL MUSE has Sabrina once again being in the cross hairs of a psychopath. This human monster is sending her 9 roses every day ... except for the days he kills another woman. Then she gets 8 roses ...and then 7 roses.
He is saving Sabrina for last .. she is his muse. At least, until he sees her with the man she loves, and the killer gets mad and moves her up on his kill list. He wants to play a game and Sabrina has no choice but to follow in order to save all those she loves.
I think this is a terrific series and I can't want to start the 3rd one. Sabrina makes such a great serial character. She has lots of issues..lots of layers. And it's quite interesting where the author takes her. She keeps telling everyone she doesn't need help - she can take care of herself. But deep down she just wants to be normal ..something she can't imagine ever happening.
All of the secondary characters are finely woven into the story line. I would love to see a couple of them have their own books.
I, without any hesitation, firmly recommend this series! 5 stars!
