The sixth book in Stacy Green‘s Nikki Hunt series and released earlier this month, Her Frozen Heart sees Special Agent Nikki Hunt who receives a call on Christmas Day. She knows it can’t be good news. Seventeen-year-old missing teenager Kesha Williams has at last been found, her body floating in an icy forest lake, miles from her hometown.
As Nikki rushes to the scene, she’s chilled to see the past repeating itself. Kesha disappeared from the mall where Nikki’s own little girl was targeted the year before. Local police are convinced it was Kesha’s boyfriend, who was spotted disappearing from security cameras that day at the mall, but Nikki isn’t so sure.
Nikki knows that whoever took Kesha is a local, and that this probably isn’t his first kill. Her worst fears are confirmed when the team find another grave on the shore – a second teenage girl, her body wound in a brightly coloured beach towel. Suddenly on the hunt for a serial killer, Nikki knows that an early break is the key to solving this case. But as the body count rises, will Nikki be able to find Kesha’s killer? Or will he find her first?

Today is my stop on the books on tour for this book. Thank you to Bookouture for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve been a fan of this series since the release of the first book, The Girls in the Snow, in 2020, and Stacy Green has yet to let me down!
Following another fast-paced investigation and chilling case, Her Frozen Heart and is another gripping story with brilliant development in a series that I’m always excited to dive back into.
With lots of action and plenty of twists, Green’s books are always difficult to put down as she effortless keeps you turning page after page, eager to find out the answers.
Green also makes a lot of time for character development which is why I’m always so hooked on her books, as I have an image of every character in my head and always look forward to getting back in their company.
The investigation follows an intricate case with a dark twist and I especially enjoyed the discussions around infamous serial killers. As a profiler, it’s always interesting to get inside Nikki’s head to see how she solves these mysteries, and I definitely couldn’t predict how this one would play out.
But as much as I love this series and the character of Nikki Hunt, I’m begging for her to retire soon! Every book makes my heart race. Of course I would still be excited for another book, but the pressure must be on and the only thing I want for Nikki now is to cut her losses and run away with her family somewhere quiet and secluded!

Synopsis:
The girl’s pretty face was relaxed, snowflakes settling on her cheeks as they began to fall over the quiet frozen lake where she’d been found. She could have been sleeping… but her empty eyes and the blooming bruises around her neck told a different story…
When Special Agent Nikki Hunt receives a call on Christmas Day, she knows it can’t be good news. Seventeen-year-old missing teenager Kesha Williams has at last been found… her body floating in an icy forest lake, miles from her hometown.
As Nikki rushes to the scene, she’s chilled to see the past repeating itself. Kesha disappeared from the mall where Nikki’s own little girl was targeted the year before. With Kesha’s grieving parents desperate for answers and the media out for blood, Nikki promises she’ll find Kesha’s killer no matter what it takes.
Local police are convinced it was Kesha’s boyfriend, who was spotted disappearing from security cameras that day at the mall, but Nikki isn’t so sure. The dense marshes and unstable ground around the crime scene mean it’s nearly inaccessible from the road. Whoever took Kesha is a local, and this probably isn’t his first kill.
Nikki’s worst fears are confirmed when the team find another grave on the shore – a second teenage girl, her body wound in a brightly coloured beach towel. Suddenly on the hunt for a serial killer, Nikki knows that an early break is the key to solving this case. But as the body count rises, will Nikki be able to find Kesha’s killer… or will he find her first?
An unputdownable thriller that will keep you up all night! Fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Robert Dugoni will absolutely love this gripping read.
