From Booklist
Taking place mere minutes after the cliff-hanger ending of Taking Eve (2013)—the first in prolific and best-selling Johansen’s new trilogy featuring forensic sculptor Eve Duncan—the second opens with Eve on the run from her diabolical captor, Jim Doane, in the wilds of the isolated Colorado Rockies. As wolves howl and frigid night temperatures descend, Eve’s struggle to survive pits her against nature’s deadliest elements while Doane constructs an elaborate trap to ensnare both Eve and Zander, a lethal assassin with a surprising interest in Eve’s welfare. Her plight has rallied a coterie of both old friends and new allies, who join Eve’s lover, Detective Joe Quinn, and their daughter, Jane, to marshal forces both supernatural and mortal to come to Eve’s rescue. Building to a shocking conclusion, Johansen’s paranormal suspense thriller will have fans of Eve’s exploits clamoring for the trilogy’s final installment, Silencing Eve (due out in October 2013), to learn of Eve’s ultimate fate. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: So avid are Johansen’s fans, a 300,000 print run is planned, backed by a national tour and an all-out, diversified advertising campaign on television, various websites, and social media. --Carol Haggas
