From the Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind reinvents the thriller with a provocative, page-turning walk among evil.
Kate Bishop thought she was an ordinary woman living and working in Chicago. But when she unexpectedly finds herself in the middle of a police investigation into a brutal murder, Kate makes a shocking discovery: she has the ability to identify killers just by looking into their eyes.
Trying to grasp the implications of this revelation, Kate is drawn deep into a world of terror. She is tracked down by Jack Raines, a mysterious author with shadowy connections to those who share her ability. He tells Kate that her unique vision also makes her a target, and only he can help her.
Now, hot on Jack and Kate’s heels are a force of super-predators, vicious and bloodthirsty killers who will stop at nothing until Kate is dead. But even as she fights for her life, Kate still isn’t sure if Jack is really her salvation, or another killer coming to slaughter her.
An explosive mix of action and suspense, Nest is a landmark new novel from worldwide bestselling author Terry Goodkind, and a complete reinvention of the contemporary thriller. Travel with Goodkind on a dangerous journey to the back alleys of the darknet, to the darkest corners of our minds, and to the very origins of what it is to be human.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. This is in no way reflected in my opinion of this novel. I did not receive any form of compensation for my review.
Nest is a gripping race to escape a group of serial killers. I found the theory behind the root of evil presented in these pages to be an interesting one. Jack and Kate are easy to root for as they struggle to stay a step ahead of the killers hunting them. The action is fast paced and at times terrifyingly brutal. The ending left room for a sequel but wasn't a cliff hanger. I hope that there will be a part two of this totally engrossing story, especially since I was hooked from the very beginning. I highly recommend this edge-of-your-seat thriller. A solid 4.5 star read.
