This was interesting entry into the series. Eden gets a new residence, she is young and beautiful but a total sociopath. The Mayor is forced to take her in and keep her safe her as a favor to the FBI protector of Eden. On her first night in town she manages to kill two people, then she decides that Mark is just the guy for her. This means that Maggie the waitress has to be gotten out of the way and she ends up the victim of a severe beating. As they are unable to control this young woman, Mark makes it his mission to discover her weak point and get revenge for how she treated Maggie.

Meanwhile in other story-lines, there is a rogue FBI agent who wants to investigate Eden but like many in this story, he appears to have his own agenda – and he is very interested in finding Mark’s father – so I suspect there my be a history between them.

I have enjoyed the first three books in this series and I am definitely planning on continuing with more issues. ( )

A new femme fatale comes to town and shakes things up. I liked the energy the disruption brought to this otherwise lethargic series, but I still find myself looking for reasons to stop reading rather than to continue on. Turnoffs in this volume include some bad editing that let the writer twice reference three deaths in a scene for which the artist only drew two victims. And the end matter seems to take up almost a quarter of the book, consisting of a lot of ego-stroking letters from big fans and that tired old script-to-rough-art comparison publishers love to use as filler.
