After working together on the Forever Freedom case and stopping a catastrophic bombing in his hometown, Luke and Amberlyn are trying to figure out what they are to each other now that they’re back home. When an American journalist is murdered in Istanbul by a supposed serial killer, The President asks Amberlyn and Luke to help investigate the mysterious situation.

Victim #8 is a fast-paced political thriller that will keep you turning page after page. The investigation our characters were following was very interesting, so I was immediately invested in the story. The stakes were high and it seemed like there was danger around every corner. I really enjoyed the concept of the FBI agent and the military aide to The President coming together (again) to save the world. It’s only been a few weeks since the events in Hometown Vendetta so Luke and Amberlyn are trying to figure out how to navigate their relationship after everything that happened. I loved how smart, strong, and brave the two were. They seemed unstoppable. But at the same time, they were very human. I could have used a little more romance but I realize that Luke and Amberlyn weren’t in the right frame of mind and they were probably being responsible adults by working on sorting out their emotions before jumping into anything. I can’t wait for the next one! I’m loving this series!
