The Hunt by Allison Brennan

Just recently finished The Prey and didn't even connect Quinn with the agent in Fear No Evil. How did I fail so badly?
I don't own this book and my library doesn't seem to have it but it's not horribly priced on Amazon so buying it on payday should be doable. I'll try and start it in a couple of weeks. I just started a new Pass the Parcel game and that dictates much of my reading though.thigh
Twelve years ago, Miranda Moore miraculously survived the torture of a serial killer who was never caught. Since then, Miranda, a former FBI trainee and now a member of a local search-and-rescue squad, has witnessed with horror the recovery of the mutilated bodies of seven young women, all victims of her tormentor, known as The Butcher. When another beautiful Montana college student goes missing, the Feds get involved, and an agent, a man Miranda once trusted with her heart, arrives to take over the investigation-forcing her toward a painful choice.
Now, while Miranda battles her demons, while friends, lovers, and traitors are caught up in a frantic race against time, a killer hides in plain sight-waiting to finish the one hunt he has left undone.
After the hunt, go in for the kill.
