By Leslie Wolfe 
Two teens run off in the
hours right before dawn. They run to the beach to be alone and you
know...watch the sunrise! While Carl and Kris are enjoying themselves on
the beach waiting for the morning light, a serial killer is a stone's
throw away posing his latest victim. Once dawn's light shines through,
Kris lets out a scream that both she and Carl would most likely never
forget. There was a body of a dead girl right there on the beach where
they were recently taking pictures and making memories. Little did they
know their dream date would become a nightmare. Detective Gary Michowsky
and the local police department were on the case, but soon thereafter
Tess Willett of the FBI was sent in. Tess is a victim too, but no one
knows that except Tess and her friend Cat. As Tess is fighting her own
demons, she enters the crime scene of DAWN GIRL... a young woman posed
dead on the beach at dawn.
Whether it's because of her personality or life experience, Tess is not much of a people person. I liked her interactions with Detective Michowsky. She was herself - a straight arrow who didn't pull any punches. Michowsky was a seasoned detective who, even though going through some rough times of his own, didn't feel the need to burden others with his problems. He did like to play it safe, but when it really counted, he put his life on the line for what he believed in.
As Tess worked the case, her own past continued to haunt her. Little by little pieces started to come together and in the end, a serial killer was found, but Tess got more than she bargained for!
I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the second book in the series - The Watson Girl.
