Love Me to Death/Allison Brennan/471 pgs./First in a Series

Lucy Kincaid, a six year survivor of a kidnapping and brutal rape, hopes to be closer to achieving her dream--becoming an FBI agent. In the meantime, Lucy volunteers for WCF--Women and Children First!--an organization that investigates the illegal sexual exploitation of children and women. Lucy is a computer whiz, plus majored in psychology. She uses her expertise to pose online to lure sex offenders into violating their parole, and ending up back in prison. When the predators she is hunting wind up murdered, Lucy realizes there's more going on than she realized. The story is engrossing, with a budding romance for Lucy with Sean Rogan--a private eye with the Rogan-Caruso-Kincaid agency. The characters have depth, and are engaging. A promising series.
