Night Fall by Nancy MehlMy rating:💛💛💛
This book was a great start to a new series. Characters were introduced but it was clear by the end of the book that their journey and growth is not done and will continue throughout the series.
For those who prefers suspense stories where the focus is on the thriller and limited to no romance, this book will be to your liking. And those who loves a good creepy thriller will love this book.
So, on that note, the suspense plot was a real thriller - with a creepy killer who performed vicious murders because of Cult's prophesy, this might not be to everyone's liking. The killer was identified early on, but the reader was kept in suspense with the rush to find him before his next sacrifice.
There were two major twists/revelations which I guessed early on, but I still enjoyed following Alex and Logan analysing the suspect and following the clues.
Logan's faith was a solid and important part of showing the lies vs truths, especially for Alex with her history with the cult.

About the book:
For any little boy or girl who hears the Train Man speak,
Who feels his rancid breath caress their pretty cheek,
Must close their eyes, pretend to sleep, and very softly pray,
Or else the evil Train Man may carry them away.
Finally free of her troubled upbringing, Alex Donovan is able to live out her childhood dream of working for the FBI. But soon after she becomes a member of the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit, authorities in Missouri contact them about bodies found on freight trains--all killed in the same way.
Alex never expected to be forced to confront her past in this new job, but she immediately recognizes the graffiti messages the killer is leaving on the train cars. When the BAU sends her to gather information about the messages from her aunt in Wichita, Kansas, Alex is haunted by the struggles she thought she'd left behind forever.
In a race against time to solve the case and recover a deadly virus sample the killer intends to spread, Alex must face how far she'll go--and what she's willing to risk--to put a stop to the Train Man.
