Lizzy Gardner, 17, was kidnapped just blocks from home after a romantic evening with her boyfriend, Jared. She woke up to find herself at the mercy of a depraved serial killer known as Spiderman. Lizzy narrowly escaped, the only one of his victims to survive. Fourteen years later, Lizzy is a private investigator who teaches self-defense to teenage girls in her free time. She does what she can to help others protect themselves and to forget the horror of her ordeal. Lizzy will always be known as; the one who got away. She receives a phone call from Jared, now a special agent for the FBI, with grim news. The killer has resurfaced, this time with a very specific target of Lizzy. He's made it clear that she will not escape him again. So begins a chilling game of cat-and-mouse, a terrifying, heart-pounding hunt that only one will survive. This is a dark serial killer book similar to Chris Carter's books. I was not completely impressed with this book but the reviews claim that the books get better and better. That makes me want to read the next book in the series. Gardner has a huge following from her Jessie Cole series so that is good to know. I do like the characters of Lizzy and Jared and find them interesting. Let's see how I feel after the 2nd book in the series.
