8 bodies down.

8 more lives at stake.

Investigator Carrie Kintz is new blood with the Alaska Bureau of Investigation in Anchorage. But with a serial killer on the loose, there's no easing into the job. It's sink or swim. The only clues to help law enforcement stop this madman are the taunts he drops into crossword puzzles across the country--always in the same 8 DOWN position.

Carrie is desperate to prove her worth to the force and the community by catching the killer. But when she discovers signs that these deaths are just the tip of the iceberg in a frighteningly elaborate cyberattack, it's time to admit she needs help.

Calling in security specialist Scott Patteson for his expertise seems like the right move--until Carrie realizes that he may be a dangerous distraction for her heart. With her faith fading in the face of horror and uncertainty and her career in danger of ending, this is no time for flirtation.

But with a killer who is determined to prove that he's smarter than everyone else, it may be impossible to fight both the madman and their feelings for each other...

Put on your parkas as we head into a cold world of cybercrime, and hang on for the ride! Kimberley Woodhouse once again takes us on a nail-biter of a ride, and you won't want to quit until you've read the last page!" --Jaime Jo Wright, author of The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater

"An amazing, breath-stealing, knuckle-biting thrill of a ride!" --Lynette Eason, award-winning, best-selling suspense author

MY THOUGHTS 

8 Below is written by Kimberly Woodhouse. This is the second book in the Alaska Cyber Hunters series. I have read both books - but they can be read as stand alone books. This book starts out with action and suspense and keeps it flowing throughout the whole book. 

Investigator Carrie Kintz has been on the job with the Alaska Bureau of Investigation in Anchorage for only a couple of months. Then she becomes the lead on a major case. Someone is killing people and the clues that they leave are in the form of a crossword puzzle, and it’s always 8 down. It is not long until Carrie starts to realize that there may be a looming cyber attack.  

He’s claimed to have killed eight people already and threatens to kill eight more. Soon they realize that traffic lights and pacemakers have been hacked. The killer then taunts them through the media telling the citizens of Anchorage that the Alaska Bureau of Investigation can’t stop him. 

Scott is part of a cyber security firm and is brought in to help them put the pieces of the puzzle together. I liked the way that they worked together. Carrie and Scott have a lot going on and they complimented each other nicely. I liked how the author kept throwing in twists and turns - and it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. 

I have been loving this Alasa Cyber Hunter Series. I cannot wait until the next story. Thank you to the author, publisher and JustRead publicity tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
