"Do unto others. . ." Carefully, he carves the words into their flesh. The victims are all young, brunette, pretty. But she's the one he really wants. The others are just a way to ease the rage that has festered for years, until the only thing that calms him is his knife slicing through skin. . .

But trusting anyone could be her last mistake. . .
To Regret
Every slight, every slur, he remembers them all. They turned him into a monster, and now they will suffer for it. Starting with September, he'll show them that the past can never stay hidden, and the time of vengeance is at hand. . .

Good thriller, but too many characters to track
By Michelle (MsRomanticReads)
Detective September "Nine" Rafferty, is seemingly the latest target of a serial killer when she receives a drawing she made in second grade with the words "Do Unto Others As She Did To Me" scrawled all over it. The same words that have been carved into the bodies of the last two victims, both who resemble her closely. During the course of the investigation, a third victim is found along with a link to Nine's past - Jake Westerly. Nine had a crush on Jake in high school, but he never paid her much attention, until he and his then girlfriend, Loni, broke up. One night together was all they had, but Nine's hopes for more were crushed when Jake went back to Loni.Jake Westerly is back in town to check in with the family business, when he runs across Nine. It's not the reunion he had hoped for as he quickly learns that he's a person of interest in a murder case. Against her better judgment, Nine confides in him the personal twist in the case, and he not only becomes protective of her, he decides he's going to tag along and help her. He learns that the path to her heart is a rough one. One that may not lead to a future if they can't catch the killer closing in on her.This was my first book by author Nancy Bush. The blurb absolutely caught my attention, and I was expecting the story to perhaps focus more on Nine and Jake's relationship, and the mystery/thriller part would flow alongside. The impression I was left with was the opposite. Nine is absolutely focused on her job, and she comes across as a little stiff (unless she has her repeating daydreams about that one night with Jake). Next to the wealth of information about the case, there's yet more information to digest about the highly dysfunctional Rafferty family. To put it into perspective, I counted around 30 characters, and those are the ones that I can remember. The character that really stood out was the villain. Sadly, most of the sex that happens in this book are his scenes.I didn't find the chemistry between Nine and Jake believable. On their own, they were great characters, but together, not so much. Considering how much Jake had hurt her in her teenage years, she never once asked him whether or not the rumors that humiliated her were true. Jake didn't even take the first step and apologize. Perhaps he was too drunk back then to remember, but addressing the pink elephant in the room from either of them is something I expected to happen. Overall the story was good, but I was a little overwhelmed by too many characters and by the family drama playing off to the side. The ending sets up the next story, but I'm not sure if I would read it because it involves two characters I didn't really care about in this one.Disclaimer: I received an ARC copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley.

Better than the first one!
By Darlene
This is the companion story to Bush's Nowhere to Run, which featured Detective August "Auggie" Rafferty. In Nowhere to Hide, the story revolves around Auggie's twin sister, September "Nine" Rafferty, who is also a Detective with the Laurelton Police Department.A serial killer is targeting women with the same physical traits as September Rafferty. When she receives a piece of her grade-school artwork with a message scrawled across it, she realizes that she is the killer's ultimate prize. September needs to look into her past to piece together the clues, and she isn't sure who she can trust.I actually liked this one more than its predecessor, Nowhere to Run, whose protagonist was more like a damsel in distress. September is no damsel, and she can take care of herself! I like that about her. I also enjoyed getting to know the Rafferty clan better and getting more back-story on the family issues. There is a cross-over of crimes from Nowhere to Run to Nowhere to Hide, so you will definitely want to read both books to get the whole story.A third companion story, Nowhere Safe, will be released in the Fall. I am looking forward to it!I received this ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive any compensation for my review, and the views expressed herein are my own.
