“I was so hooked!!… Gripping… It had me on the edge of the seat and I read it in one go!… Will keep you awake at night… Completely worth five stars!” Tropical Girl Reads Books, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The darkness closed around her. She tried to clear her vision, but there was no light, no noise, nothing. Only the emptiness, the echoing sound of being alone. Fear pulsed through her. The man had come out of nowhere. Who was he? Blinking away tears of frustration, in the pitch black she felt the floor and walls surrounding her. Cold. Steel. Bars.

Detective Ellie Reeves is hiking in the Appalachian Mountains when she discovers a body. As dusk falls, a gust of wind blows some petals on to Ellie’s path. Following the trail, she finds a golden-haired young woman dead on a bed of daffodils, with a note: Monday’s child is fair of face.

Thanks to her own past, the childhood she tries her hardest to forget, Ellie knows that the wilderness––and its shadows––is the perfect hunting ground for a criminal. She’s certain that the sinister nursery rhyme, written with an old-fashioned typewriter, means something.

It soon becomes clear when another body is found. Under the light of the moon, Ellie spots wildflower petals floating in a river. On the bank lies Tuesday’s child, another young woman who lost her life, far too soon, at the hands of a monster.

Ellie is up against a serial killer who will claim a victim for every day of the week. In the next twenty-four hours there will be another death, and when her own house is broken into, daffodil petals strewn across the floor, it’s clear the ruthless murderer has Ellie in his sights. Can she save more innocent women from his clutches? Or will he get to her first?

An utterly gripping and completely breathless crime thriller for fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh. You’ll have trouble falling asleep after this heart-pounding page-turner!

Readers absolutely love Wildflower Graves:

“I just flew through the book… This book was so complete in every aspect and I couldn’t ask for more... This book was a mystery topped with another mystery over another mystery and another mystery and then boom! Plot twist. This book will taunt with your braincells in EVERY plot twist. It's not just one but MANY plot twists!… I hadn't read a killer like this before. All in all, I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars! I can’t find a single flaw in this… Pick this book up! You will not regret your time on this one!” Ink Drinker Hana, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I’m quickly becoming addicted to this series… Sinister, chilling, perverse, and macabre. Herron throws out so many facets it’s like a treasure hunt. You think you're getting close to the truth, but then another bend in the road appears.” Books Read by Prairie Girl, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Rita Herron fell in love with books at the ripe age of eight when she read her first Trixie Belden mystery. But she didn’t think real people grew up to be writers, so she became a teacher instead. Now she writes so she doesn’t have to get a real job.

With over ninety books to her credit, she’s penned romantic suspense, romantic comedy, and YA novels, but she especially likes writing dark romantic suspense and crime fiction set in small southern towns.

I literally could not put this page turner down. The suspense was perfect. The story is just real enough to get your blood pumping. Ellie is an excellent lead lady. She is independent & strong but yet has a heart that you get a front row seat to as she works to solve the murders that keep cropping up all around her. Agent Fox is a great addition. I hope he is aroumd more. I definitely recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bordering on unrealistic

I'm thoroughly enjoying this series that features the indominable Detective Ellie Reeves and her faithful right hand guys, FBI Special Agent Derrick Fox and Ranger Cord McClain.
The story is fast paced and the descriptions of the Appalachian Trail are so accurate you feel you are hiking along with her and her team.
What has become disturbing to me is the injuries she's suffered and her unrealistic ability to keep moving. The number of times she has been struck in the head in less than a month caused concussions that, at the rate this is going, she would have a brain injury. Not to mention the number of times she has been kicked in the ribs and gut. The physical ability and medical injury portion of this story simply does not add up. Ms. Herron would benefit from doing some medical research and toning down the drama a bit on the injuries or spreading out the timeline to allow for healing.
The next book begins several weeks later and I hope Ellie will have time to heal as it unfolds or I'm going to truly start worrying about her health.
Beyond this major plotline problem, the story is interesting, suspenseful and easily moves the reader into the next installment.

I have now added Rita Herron to my list of must read authors! She really hooks you in the gut and drags you into her stories. The insight into her characters is outstanding. Ellie had a perfect life growing up. Sure her Mother would have preferred her to be a little more girly but she luved her anyway. Her dad was her hero. Finding out they had feet of clay and were only human shattered her world. Twice before she has been central to solving serial killer cases. The first one shattered Ellie's life and the second one almost took her life but the latest one may really take her life and her mother's also. Who is using the nursery rhyme of "Monday's Child" to justify killing young women? Can she ever forgive her Mother for her betrayal? You will never forgive yourself if you miss this one! Highly recommended.

I do love a tough female lead character and Ellie Reeves is all that and a bag of chips. Complicated personal relationships and all, she has now solved two serial murder cases. Can’t wait for the next one.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of twists, the biggest one being who the bad guy is - totally from left field.

I found myself enjoying this story more than book 1, the tension and race against time before the killer strikes again help keep you firmly embroiled in the storyline.
Detective Ellie Reeves does seem to get severely attacked quite frequently, particularly to the head, between book 1&2 at very least she should have brain damage or be on life support with the severity of the injuries!
But even with that it’s a good storyline and worth a read or listen.
