About this audiobook
Nothing is deeper than the desire they can’t fight—or deadlier than the evil they can’t escape.
They were only supposed to have a professional relationship, but FBI agent Kyle McKenzie has been fantasizing about his sexy partner, Cadence Hollow, from the moment they first met. It takes the darkest case of their careers to finally bring their hidden desire bubbling to the surface. Once they’re in each other’s arms, though, they swear that nothing short of death will part them. The Night Hunter—a cunning stalker whose four-state, fifteen-year abduction spree began in Paradox, Alabama, with Kyle’s sister—may be only too happy to oblige.
In the small town, Kyle must confront the painful past he’s been hiding from Cadence. Kyle vows to put the Hunter behind bars…or in the ground. But the one thing that obsesses Kyle more than his sister’s grim fate—his furious love for Cadence—is the weapon the Hunter will use to lure his pursuers into the mouth of a murderous trap.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5First, for me reading this author’s work, and it is an impressive and imaginative storyline. The writers have abilities that made you keep reading to learn who was the killer. Also, another unexpected event finding out a police officer was responsible for all the killing and have done this for many years. I love this book and had a great time enjoying every bit. Coming to learn that it is one of the police officers that have been responsible for all these killings. It was a huge change that this person that is responsible for protecting the public was the one doing all the criminal activities in his community. He almost got away with it all, but at the same time his health had begun to suffer and failing.

4 Stars
FBI Agent Kyle McKenzie has sworn to find his sister, Maria, who disappeared fifteen years ago near the small town of Paradox, Alabama. Now another young woman has vanished in the quiet and unassuming town and Kyle and his partner, Cadence Holloway, are called in to investigate. As Kyle and Cadence close in on a disturbed killer, they also given in to the attraction simmering between them - a situation that may have deadly consequences for one or for both.
A satisfying ending to the series. Kyle and Cadence's romance is intense and the extent of the love and trust they have in each other is incredible. The mystery is action packed and Eden managed to keep me guessing almost to the end.
A woman with a traumatic past, Cadence has developed a cool, professional veneer as a coping mechanism and finds it difficult to allow others to get close to her. Akin to the other heroes in this series, Kyle is borderline obsessive about Cadence and refuses to take no for an answer, which leads to some intense and explosive scenes between the two.
The serial killer plot is well developed with several solid suspects to keep you turning the pages. At one point, it is possible to guess the villain’s identity by process of elimination, but as this is toward the end, it does not detract from the climax and resolution.
Cynthia Eden is one of my absolute favorite romantic suspense authors and this book is an excellent addition to her repertoire. There is also room for another story about Ben and Dani, which will hopefully be forthcoming. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well, I do love a serial killer story. This one is also set in the south which is a big plus. The main characters, FBI agents Cadence and Kyle, are a little too randy for my taste. In these books it seems impossible for men and women to have a professional relationship. OK, I know. Most folks want the sexy action but honestly, I think the story would have been just as good without the groping and heaving. But as I said the story is good and there was not so much sex that it was terribly distracting. I do wish Eden would quit having her men call the women, Baby. That is really annoying. Anyway, it will not stop me from reading more Eden. I love her stories.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Contemporary, Romantic Suspense, Alabama Kyle McKenzie is an FBI agent that has been fantasizing about his partner, Cadence Hollow, since the first moment he met her. While working the darkest case so far in their careers, their desire for each other comes to the surface. Once they are together they are determined that nothing will part them except maybe death. A cunning stalker named The Night Hunter has been at work for fifteen years abducing women over a four state area though it first started in Paradox, Alabama with Kyle’s sister. Now The Night Hunter is hunting the hunter and he will be more than happy to separate the lovers by death. Kyle is going to have to face a painful past that he has managed to hide so far from Cadence. He is determined to end the Hunter’s reign of terror either by putting him behind bars or in the ground. The Hunter has the perfect weapon to use to lure Kyle into his murderous trap and that is Kyle’s love for Cadence which is even stronger than his obsession to know his sister’s grim fate. This is one story that will take the reader on a ride that is sure to have them up late at night just to see what happens in the book but also because this is one thriller that will have readers jumping at the bumps in the night. The story pulls the reader in and takes so many twists and turns that the reader will soon be wondering which way is up. Just as the reader thinks they have it figured out the story takes another twist that will have them second guessing themselves. This is one book that while it is dark it is so very engrossing the reader will not want to stop reading for anything even sleep. For readers that love romantic suspense this is one book not to miss. The plot stays with the reader long after they put the book down. This is another great story from an author that is proving to have ability to both thrill and chill readers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In Scream For Me, readers are introduced to Cynthia Eden’s latest sadistic killer, the Night Hunter. The pace is exhilarating with only brief moments of reprieve. The author takes readers on a sinister journey to catch a killer. It all began fifteen years ago in Paradox, Alabama with the disappearance of Kyle’s younger sister, Maria. Kyle McKenzie is determined to learn what happened that dark night on an abandoned highway in Paradox fifteen years ago. Even after all these years without a single clue his hope has never waivered. When he receives a call from Captain James Anniston requesting assistance in locating a missing woman, Lily Adams, whose disappearance is strangely similar to Maria’s he is unable to refuse. With the help of his partner, Dr. Cadence Hollow, he believes this is his one chance to discover the truth. Cadence knows that Kyle is haunted by his sister’s disappearance. She does not agree that they should assist on a case that is obviously so personal to him but, she will support his decision. Her ability to gain insight into the minds of criminals has earned her lots of recognition; she has helped capture many notable killers. There are many instants within the story that I felt the characters emotions, especially the fear that the Night Hunter inspired. The Night Hunter is not your typical anti-hero – he is featured prominently within the story…his intelligence and ability to mislead the investigation is admired by the protagonists. Well-developed characters, vivid imagery, and a fluid writing style made this an incredible escapade. I will say that while the romance fell into the background for most of the book – the author ensures that the reader is constantly aware of the simmering desire between Kyle and Cadence. Highly recommended for suspense readers.
