    About this audiobook

    Jess is ready to start the next chapter in her life as the new deputy chief of Birmingham's major crimes division. But with her first love, Chief of Police Dan Burnett, acting as her new boss, it looks like Jess won't be able to put the past behind her that easily.

    Jess has decided to focus all of her attention on work when a celebrated ballet instructor is found dead by one of her students. Though Jess's instincts tell her otherwise, the death is ruled an accident, and the case is assigned to another division. Still, Jess can't shake the feeling that there's more to the story, and her investigation leads her into the worlds of Birmingham's gang culture and its powerful elite.

    Now Jess's investigation has dug a little too deep, and there's a target painted on her own forehead. Will she be able to solve the crime before her own life falls into jeopardy?

      I really like this series. I have seen a great progression in Jess from book one to current. She has grown comfortable in her own skin and her intelligences. I am not usually a fan of relationships in my murder books as I find them distracting from the plot as I am a big fan of the killer. Yet the relationship between Jess and Dan fits into the series. I like that they have a complex one as it shows that they are both human. These books are quick reads and I can guarantee that I will have a good time reading these books. What also makes this series great is the killer, who follows Jess from story to story. So this adds many layers to the overall plot and series. I can not wait to read the next book in this series. My only complaint is that the first half of the story seemed to not really go anywhere with the investigation but the second half made up for this.
    • 4/5
      When Jess Harris' newly formed team is first to respond to a murder, she knows they will have to turn the case over to another team of the Birmingham PD but she just can't let the case go. Meanwhile her team is assigned to a high profile missing person case. Before long, Jess is sure that this case is related to the growing gang problems in Birmingham. With two cases on her mind, Jess still has time to fantazies about Dan, her long-ago boyfriend and now her boss.I enjoyed this book just a bit less than the first two in the series. Jess was a real bitch in this one sometimes seeming to think she was the only one who knew how to investigate a crime. But mostly I still can't help but like her. She is a smart and strong character. I also really enjoy her growing relationship with Dan. I have the next in the series on my desk.

      Reviewed by: Terri NBook provided by: NetGalleyReview originally posted at Romancing the BookIn this story, there were two very different mysteries going on at the same time which made for a very interesting read. Jess, as usual, throws her self in full force to solve them both. I really like how she is so passionate about her work and once she is on to something, nothing will stop her from following it to the end.I enjoyed the realistic setting and elements of the story, especially the part with the gangs. Being from Birmingham, where the book takes place, I know how scary the city can be at night. When she talks about how the community shuts down when the sun goes down, I can relate. I worked in one those parts of town and it’s exactly what happens.As I read, I continued to be intrigued with Jess. She had a lot of dimensions. She’s tough as nails when she works, nothing or no one intimidates her. Her vulnerable side shows when it comes to Dan. She feels things that she doesn’t want or expect to feel and like the rest of us she has a hard time dealing with it. Although part of her doesn’t care what anyone thinks, another part wants to fit in with the rest of the people in her department.The books in the Faces of Evil series are not your typical Debra Webb books. Things finally heated up at the end of this one and let me just say the scene was outstanding. This book started off slower than the other two in the series and I found myself skimming through the first couple of chapters. However, once the action started, it was fast paced all the way to the end and I couldn’t put this book down. There were some things I was able to figure out before they were revealed in the book, but it’s not too predictable.

      5 STARSNow I have a favorite series that I will have to continue to read. In the last two days I have read the Face's of Evil 1-3. I love Jess,Lori and Harper characters.They work well together and get things done. Jess is not making to many friends but she gets the job done.Special Agent Jess Harris has quit the FBI and her new job is deputy chief of Birmingham's major crimes division. She has no cases yet but her people were working a death of dance teacher Darcy Chandler for the rich. She is hurring the coroner for time of death. Interviewing the dancers and thier mom's. When she gets called into Police Chief's Dan Burnett office and told that it is not her case. She keeps wondering about the things like why were her high heels on the table and not on the body that fell over the balcony.Jess does get her first case the disappearance of a young black male collage age student. He has been missing for days. Not treated the same as young collage girls that were missing at the same time.Jess is trying to get over being mad that the case her team tried to steal was taken back. But she kept getting calls about the Dance teacher and given more information.The coroner on the case had questions that were being ignored. Then Police Chief Dan Burnett's own mother who hates Jess wants her to know and look more into the death. The next person who asks to meet her is Dan's ex-stepdaughter with a video.Jess's missing collage student is a good student never in trouble but he was trying to help a young women in trouble who was involved with powerful gang leaders. A gang war is about to start and Jess gets into thier face and threatens them.It is full of relationships with exs, new person fitting into work drama, gang drama.she wants Dan to treat her like business coworkers and when he does she wishes he cares.I definately want to read more books about Jess Harris and gang. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest reviews by Netgalley.9/04/2012 PUB Grand Central Publishing Imprint Forever Yours
