"Web of Secrets"

A nightmare come true . . .
Years ago, a fifteen-year-old girl was abducted by a monster. Although she managed to escape, her tormenter was never caught. So the girl was given a new home, a new name . . . and the determination to save other foster kids from suffering similar horrors.
FBI Agent Becca Lange is in the middle of a credit card fraud investigation when she's faced with her worst nightmare: a serial killer, van Gogh--given the name because he removed his victims' ears--has resurfaced. Back in the nineties, van Gogh tortured, then killed several young foster girls. Becca was almost one of them.
Over the years, Becca's been keeping her own investigation going. So when the police come to her for help, she's more than ready to do what it takes to put van Gogh behind bars--even if it means working with Connor Warren, the easy-going cop whose attentions she's been avoiding. Connor is too charming, too good-looking, too . . . tempting. He makes Becca want things she can never have. And might never have . . .
Because van Gogh isn't finished with Becca yet. He's been searching for her all these years. And now that he's found her, he's got a plan to keep her . . . forever.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
This is the third installment in the Agents Under Fire series. While this is the book three, each of the three books can be read together as a series or they are fine as stand alone books also. We get to catch up with Kait and Nina from the first two books in this series and find out what they have been up to.
Becca's story is just as exciting and dangerous as her friends were. Maybe even a bit more dangerous. From the very beginning of the book, Susan held me captive with fast paced action, danger around ever turn, and a reluctant friendship which turned into a beautiful romance. We also learn the importance of not shutting others out of our lives like Becca did. She was used to taking care of herself and depending solely on her own skills. Becca finally realized that her friends were just waiting to help her fight the demons of her past and all she had to do was ask. So many times we try to handle things on own, but we must remember that we have many people who would be glad to help us, especially God, if we would just ask.
I received a complimentary e-book copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.
