Wicked by Ginger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alyssa Callaghan lives in Gates Mill with her father Vance Callaghan who has put his experience as a decorated Navy SEAL to good use working as a PI with and for Police Detective Lumis. However when they pick up a 13 year old cold case of a killer who saws the throats of his victims Alyssa has to learn to fight her social anxiety, find friends, romance and even find the courage to investigate her father's case. However it takes a more personal turn as she seems to cross paths with the killer multiple times which Vance struggles to work out the motive and identity of the killer whist coping with historic memory loss. Things build up towards one hell of a Halloween - can then crack the case before anyone else dies?

OMG - this is a beautifully told story which takes the time to build each character in great detail so that as you experience the twists and turns in the plot you can feel and experience the changes and events for the characters too. I loved the relationship between Alyssa and Vance which was so clear and full of love, then the way that her friendships and romance built was also sensitively done with the right level of detail. The way it concentrated on friendship and love (but not physical) was great and definitely appropriate given the ages of the friends. I loved the drama in the story and the build up to the final conclusion was enjoyable and well told plus the ending was a welcome twist.
