About this ebook

Two very different sisters. One killer team.

Elite forensic sculptor Meg Schock is obsessed with solving cold cases and bringing justice to victims. When the local US attorney brings her the skull of a young murdered woman with similarities to one she’s already reconstructed—but not identified—she and her sister, Charlie, dive head-first into a chilling investigation.

The twisted killer is clever, drawing closer and closer when he discovers the sisters on his trail. Another body turns up…and another… but his modis operandi points to a convicted murderer already behind bars. Together, Meg and Charlie must face the fact this copycat is taunting them, leading them on a gruesome quest. He’s picked up where his mentor left off—and he’s coming for one of them next.

This book was free and had good reviews so I read it. The plot was simple, the characters were shallow and trite. Reading this book was a waste of time!

This is a great start to a new series. The Schock sisters deal with the macabre on daily basis - from Charlie, the forensic psychologist and former FBI profiler, to Meg, the sculptor that recreates the faces from the skulls of murder victims. They are attempting to identify the victims of a serial killer that they helped to convict years before when they realize that he couldn't have killed them all. What follows is a well written story that kept me flipping pages just as quickly as possible. I loved the characters and can't wait to read more of their exploits. This series is off to a great start and fans of the genre will love this one. Put this on your must read list. The two authors are on my must read list, both individually and as a team.

Misty Evans and Adrienne Giordano always make an impressive pairing and 1st Shock, the first book in their new Schock Sisters series, is the perfect example of how well their work blends. One was an FBI profiler. One was an FBI forensic artist. Now these sisters have brought those special talents to their own private investigation agency. They not only help law enforcement identify unknown victims and help catch the killers, they reunite living families. In 1st Shock, we get to see them working on both kinds of cases. Naturally the serial killer, who targets the sisters when they tie the style of the murder of the new victims to a killer they have already captured, is the more exciting tale but both are fascinating. Perfect for fans of Iris Johansen, but not quite as dark as her books with a bit of humor to provide some balance and they get to work with the living sometimes! I requested an ARC from Misty Evans, as I do whenever I get the chance. Who wouldn't want to read any of her books as early as possible? I will be buying a personal copy as soon as it is available and look forward to spending more time with Schock sisters, Meg and Charlie, and with Matt and JJ. If you are already a fan these two awesome authors, you might remember meeting Matt and the Schock sisters in Missing Justice, Matt and Taylor's story.
