Short Synopsis: Cadence, Adrienne, and Shiro are back, as they try to catch a new killer, called the June Boy Killer, or JBK, for short. The trio also meets a new doctor named Max Gallo, which might be a new love interest for Shiro.

My Thoughts: I originally love the story behind it, but found it very difficult to complete.

Cadence is an FBI agent, from a special branch, known as BOFFO. Everyone in BOFFO has their own weird psychological disorder. Cadence suffers from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), and is also commonly known as MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder).
The BOFFO group gets a new member from Washington, named Emma Jan, who suffers from a rare disease. Cadence is still being hunted by the threefer killer, as a new case is involved.
Someone is killing boys and the body count is starting to add up. It's up to Cadence and her sisters, and their partner, George, to find out who the real killer is.
And if the drama couldn't get even more worse, Patrick wants to take things to the next level, as he invites Shiro, as well as Cadence, and Adrienne, to live with him.
And Shiro also might be developing feelings for the new doctor at the local hospital, Max Gallo, whose nephew is a victim of the JBK killer. Can Cadence and her sisters put an end to the killer, and find out where her feelings lie with Patrick? 

I love MaryJanice Davidson novels when I was still reading romance. I was super psyched that she had started a new series and loved the psychological aspect of the story. I couldn't get through with it the first time, but gave it another go.
For some reason, I can't stand the writing style of this series, as I really wanted to give up on this novel. I must admit, that I had skimmed in some areas, which I usually don't do too often. But in general, I wasn't too fond of the new character, Emma Jan, as she has a freaky disorder of being afraid of mirrors and her reflection. It was also weird that Emma Jan and Shiro was forming a bond, one that Cadence wasn't too fond of as well. I was also glad that Adrienne didn't show up as much, as it was weird to get used to what she was saying and how she was saying it. 
I love the relationship between Cadence and Patrick and was a little disappointed of the lack of their relationship in this novel. The doctor is still an enigma, and I don't know how I really feel about him. 
I was also a little unsure of the ending and how it all went down. But overall, this is a really difficult story line to get into, but I still wouldn't mind reading the next installment. 

Would I recommend this book: Maybe

Rating: I give this book a 3/5.
