Fractured
The Stealth Stalker
She escaped a serial killer and disappeared.
But escape was only the beginning.
Now she’s facing a killer she’ll never outrun.
Cameron Cooper was once an esteemed FBI analyst, known for tracking some of the most dangerous serial killers in the country. But her life changed forever when she was abducted and tortured by the notorious J-Bird, a monster who left her physically and mentally scarred. Narrowly escaping with her life, Cameron disappeared, abandoning her career and adopting a new identity in an effort to outrun her past.
Years later, Cameron lives a quiet life in New York City, far removed from the horrors she once faced. But when the NYPD seeks her expertise to help capture the elusive “Stealth Stalker,” the brutal killings reignite memories she’s tried desperately to forget. As she works alongside Detective Hunter Finnegan, the case begins to feel disturbingly familiar. Patterns emerge and parallels to the past develop that Cameron can’t ignore. She begins to wonder if the killer she’s pursuing in the present is somehow connected to the one from her past—and if she’s once again become the prey.
But the truth lurking in the shadows is far darker than anything Cameron imagined. Evidence gathered from the crime scenes and her profile of the killer hint at a truth too frightening to face. With her sense of time slipping, and no one left to trust—not even herself—Cameron teeters on the edge of madness. In the chilling depths of her mind, she begins to fear that the real danger may not be the killer she's hunting... but the one she never saw coming. As time runs out, and the lines between victim and villain blur, Cameron will once again come face to face with a serial killer, only this time, she’ll have no way to escape!

I was assigned this author for #march2025adoptanauthor. I'd never read any of Dodds' work, but I was so thankful to have this assignment. I had already bought both of her books months ago, but like many on my TBR, it was waiting on me.
Right from the start, Fractured: The Stealth Stalker grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. The prologue throws readers into a pulse-pounding scene where an FBI special agent is kidnapped and tortured—an opening that sets the tone for the tension and suspense ahead. Years later, after stepping away from the field, she’s pulled back in to help track down the elusive Stealth Stalker, a case that demands both her expertise and resilience.
Dodds crafts a compelling mystery with a strong protagonist and an engaging investigative thread. The pacing keeps you invested, and the psychological aspects of the stalking element add an extra layer of unease. There are twists to keep readers on their toes, and left me dying to know who the killer is.
It was an enjoyable read that delivered solid suspense and an intriguing premise. Fans of FBI thrillers and cat-and-mouse chases will find plenty to appreciate here!
