Obsession Faces of Evil Debra Webb 9781455527656 Books

Really good start to the series! I'm looking forward to the journey as I suspect it's going to be a bumpy one on all levels. Special Agent Jess Harris has been called in by Police Chief Dan Burnett, her ex-lover from another time & place in her life. Five young women are missing, and time is running out. The local police don't have enough information to even make a profile, but that's where Jess comes in. She's one of the best profilers out there although she's currently in the middle of her own professional hell and fears the outcome. It's claimed that her unprofessional actions are the cause of a serial killer being allowed to walk. One who has Jess on his radar. Jess sets her personal safety aside and vows to find the missing girls. Needless to say, all hell breaks loose before it's over.

Obsession is a well-written story that remains intense from cover to cover. The tension mounts as clues begin to fall into place for Jess. I loved the multiple POVs taking place as it allows readers a front row seat to much of what is happening. The relationship between Jess and Daniel is electric even though they are both in denial. It appears it will take time to clear the air and issues that stand between them. The support cast is a good one with future couples appearing to emerge. While the primary case is solved by the end of this book, there is a cliffhanger type thread that continues on into the next book. It's enough to keep readers wanting more! A Must Read!

Obsession Faces of Evil Debra Webb 9781455527656 Books Reviews

Wow, wow, wow...what a bargain basement price for an unexpectedly great surprise read and all for the low, low price of .99 cents. I got waaaaay more than I bargained for with this offering from Debra Webb. I would have paid 10x times that amount.

Obsession reminds me of the works from some authors who are auto-buy authors for me Karen Rose, Lisa Gardner and Tess Gerritsen. If you enjoy the suspense/thriller genre with edge-of-your-seat action then you won't want to miss out on Obsession. I've already purchased the second book in the series Impulse and after checking the author's website - color me excited to learn she has a total of 12 books planned in this Faces of Evil series. I can only hope each and every book is as good as Obsession was.

FBI profiler Agent Jess Harris is at a bit of a crossroads in her career. After a stellar record for 12 years at the FBI, her record as a behavioural analyst is perfect except for her latest case involving the maniacal killer The Player. She played right into the hands of a cunning sociopath who set her up and now thanks to Jess`s work on the case, he is about to go free.

Answering the call from an old friend and lover, Police Chief Dan Burnett, Jess who's on administrative leave from the FBI heads home to Birmingham to assist in a particularly troubling case involving missing, young girls. A case in which Dan has a personal stake as one of the missing girls is actually his teenage step-daughter Andrea.

I liked that Dan and Jess were more mature characters (both are in their forties), well established in their careers and yet they have some pretty serious history dating back to when they were teenagers and college lovers. They both still obviously have strong feelings for each other, but solving this case is their top priority and for the most part they try desperately to ignore the lingering feelings between them. Obviously with more books in this series, I expect their relationship will grow over time.

In Obsession the race is on discover a link between the missing girls and find them before it's too late. We are treated to the POV from the kidnapped girls and can you say...creeeeeeepy!

To further complicate and muddy the waters is the release of Eric Spears aka The Player, a sadistic serial killer. Jess knows beyond all doubt that he is the man who committed numerous, heinous crimes - she just wasn't able to prove it and now her career is in ruins because of it. Eric has become fascinated with Jess...in fact Obsessed if you will. And he is far from done with playing games with Agent Harris. I'm sure Eric will be a "Player" in a number of upcoming books - I can't see Webb making him go away any time soon. With so many possibilities and 12 books in the making, I expect him to be around torturing Jess for some time. Masterminds like The Player know how to commit crimes and get away without leaving a trace.

Fair WARNING You are going to want to have book two in this series Impulse ready and waiting for when you are finished. The ending...O.M.G. I started Impulse immediately upon finishing Obsessive even though it was late and past my bedtime. Don't say I didn't warn you!
This is a brand new author for me and the reason I am reading these books is that in one of Christy Reece's updates, I saw she had added them on her 'to read' list on Goodreads. Loved the covers and they caught my attention. I have also checked out Debra Webb's site and apparently there are going to be twelve books in this series. I already have the 2nd one called 'Impulse'.

I finished reading Obsession yesterday morning and still feel restless and jumpy yet so excited as it was fabulous. Absolutely nail biting and I now need a manicure! Looking for suspense, romance, a thriller filled with mystery? I warn you though that if you have an annoying tendency to damage your nails as I do when reading books such as this one, wear gloves and don't hesitate to pick this series up. D

You have to love Jess Harris, an FBI profiler at Quantico. I admire her, and her tenacious 'dog with a bone' reputation lands her in hot water more often than not, but ultimately gets the job done. She's not one to follow many rules and procedural steps. She's strong willed/minded and for this reason is at a stand still in her career due to a case she'd been working on involving Eric Spears known as the Player. After a 12 year career at the FBI, she was unfortunately set up playing right into this villain's hands. Add the fact that her marriage has gone south, things are looking pretty glum. Spears is on the verge of being set free although the FBI couldn't have held him regardless of her actions and of course someone must ultimately take the fall - she's number one on the list. Accepting a case from her ex-lover and friend, Dan Burnett, Jess who is on administrative leave, heads off to Birmingham, Alabama to help in the search for missing girls. She's a top notch profiler and since the BPD aren't getting anywhere, she's their best bet.

Jess and Dan have a long history and are both in their forties. Their issues concerning their past will eventually be resolved over time throughout this series, but they have started to communicate and talk over why things happened the way they did. There is another relationship forming in Obsession, which adds to the dynamic of the story and will continue in the next book as Detective Lori Wells, has been kidnapped by the Player. The POV's are all interesting and easy to follow, but where the young girls are concerned, bone chilling - OMG! To say I got the hibbie jibbies is putting it mildly. The story that unfolds here reminds me of the movie Psycho, just so much worse.

Not only do Dan and Jess have to contend with media releases and reprimands (the usual bureaucratic waste of time), the mayor (irritated me immensely), searching for practically non-existent clues as to what happened to the girls or where they could be, they now have to deal with the fact that Spears is free and has started taunting Jess by texting her. It's as if he can see her every move. He is 'obsessed' with her although she's not the type of female he kidnaps, tortures, plays with and eventually kills. She got in his face, literally, and he is fascinated. The game is on as he has Lori, and Jess has no choice but to play. Spears can't wait. It's a race against time as those kidnapped by the Player, never live to tell the tale.

I can just imagine what awaits me in the next book if this one was anything to go by. Three quarters of the way in, it became even more enthralling and was hard to put down. There is more than one villain here as you've gathered and both sickening for different reasons. This book concludes with news from Dan that a a special unit will be formed and classified as a Special Problems Unit (SPU). Essentially, a unit that will be solely devoted to crimes that don't normally fall into your everyday categories and to criminals who don't fall under the usual profile either. This is going to be an awesome team.

When I wrote this review, I was already late for everything that needed doing - this book was that good. I should thank Christy Reece for adding this author to her 'to read list', in turn making me do the same. I am glad she did, glad I did and you will be too. I promise.
