Actual Rating: 4.5 stars 
 While I was excited to read from Fredrick's POV, I was a bit unsure of what this book would entail. I knew going in that it was going to be a bit different than the other books just because of who Fredrick is. I mean, come on...he tortures people. However, this actually greatly surprised me at how much I enjoyed it. While Victor still has my heart, Fredrick has wormed his way in a bit. I do think though that fans should prepare themselves for this book because it truly isn't like the first two in the series. While I can't exactly put my finger on it, there is definitely something different about this one. I can see how some fans might not like it as much, but I definitely recommend reading it, and give it a chance because it is a great story that I greatly enjoyed. 
 This is not a sunshine and rainbows story. We see just how broken Fredrick truly is because of Seraphina, and we learn a whole heck of a lot of information about their past. We learn that he's holding a girl, Cassia, captive for a whole year, and that she has critical information that will help Fredrick find Seraphina once again. From the description, you might think this is your run-of-the-mill captive story, where the prisoner has Stockholm Syndrome to the extreme and falls in love with her captor. But it is so much more than that. There is a 
 HUGE 
 , and I mean 
 HUGE 
 twist that I never saw coming, and quite frankly was blown away by upon its reveal. I literally was left with my mouth hanging open because I was so shocked. When you finally learn everything, your heart breaks even more, right along with Fredrick's, and you are left glued to the page wanting to find out what will happen next. I had to keep reading because I 
 HAD 
 to know what was going to happen. After the big reveal, I devoured the rest of this book. Jessica sure knows how to give fans shock value. 
 Fans will be happy to know that all their favorites are back: Victor, Izabel, and Niklas. I loved that they were in the story, Izabel especially because it reminds readers that even in this company of killers, they are basically family. And family helps out no matter what. 
 There is plenty of gruesome violence, action, and romance, but I'll warn you, there isn't a happy ending (at least not to me). I can't say I was entirely happy with the ending of this book, but I still think it was a great addition to this series, and I am eager to read the prequel, Seeds of Iniquity, to see the backstory of Fredrick and Seraphina. I highly recommend checking this installment in The Company of Killers series out. It's not to be missed. Happy reading :)
