New Series with Unusual Characters

City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Detective Casey Duncan and her long-time friend Diana need to disappear to escape personal violence but is a secret, off-grid, invisible town in Alberta the answer? Rockton is filled with criminals and victims who are hiding from lives gone wrong. They are tightly controlled by a mysterious Council and a strong-willed local Sheriff but lately there have been murders, people have disappeared, illegal drugs are being produced, and cannibals are rumored to live in the dense forest surrounding the town. Casey investigates through a mass of twists and turns. Book one in a series of three. Great characters. Looking forward to the next one!
