This novel — Danger in Numbers — didn’t work for me.

It’s 1st in the Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI book series — but I won’t be continuing.

Amy and Hunter are super likeable protagonists. Graham is a romance author. The romance is compelling.

But the plot is dumb.

Pacing too slow.

A ritualistic murder on the side of a remote road brings in the Florida state police. Special Agent Amy Larson has never seen worse, and there are indications that this killing could be just the beginning.

The crime draws the attention of the FBI in the form of Special Agent Hunter Forrest, a man with insider knowledge of how violent cults operate, who might never be able to escape his own past.

The rural community is devastated by the death in their midst, but people know more than they are saying.

As Amy and Hunter join forces, every lead takes them further into the twisted beliefs of a dangerous group that will stop at nothing to see their will done.
