8 Down by Kimberley WoodhouseMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
8 down follows book one, 26 below. Though you should be able to follow without 26 below, I found it personally better to have known the backstory of 26 below.
The plot of the serial killer who leaves clues to the investigators in the 8 down word puzzle clues was something different and thrilling. Readers who also enjoy solving crossword puzzles will love solving the clues throughout the book (the answers were all provided at the end of the book).
Carrie and Scott’s relationship was sweet and felt realistic. I could see the boy meets girl and wants to start dating thread being realistic, but then throw in a serial killer they also must deal with, and the pace immediately speeds up.
I did not really like that the author killed off a character I was liking, but not everything works out as you want in real life as well.

About the book:
How do you catch a serial killer who attacks through cyberspace?
Investigator Carrie Kintz has been on the job with the Alaska Bureau of Investigation in Anchorage for only a couple of months. But she's already been thrown into the deep there's a serial killer on the loose. Not only is he claiming he's already killed eight people, he's also vowed that eight more lives will be eliminated if demands aren't met. The only clues to help law enforcement stop him are the ones he sends in crossword puzzles across the country--always in the same 8 Down position.
As Carrie works the case, she can't help but feel she's in over her head. And worse, there's signs that the deaths may be part of a frighteningly elaborate cyberattack. But without knowing how the victims are connected, tracking down a killer determined to prove he's smarter than everyone else may be impossible.
With the clock ticking and lives hanging in the balance, Carrie is desperate not to fail and be fired--or worse, to find her faith fading in the face of danger and uncertainty. But when she calls in security specialist Scott Patteson for his expertise on the case, she's suddenly also in danger of losing her heart.
Best-selling author Kimberley Woodhouse's thrilling romantic suspense series continues with this melding of cybercrime and true crime, perfect for fans of Irene Hannon, Lynnette Eason, and Colleen Coble.
