She thought her little sister, Nadia, made it out too. She was wrong. Now, young girls are vanishing across the globe. Families with ties to organized crime are turning up dead. And the Red Room has returned--smaller, smarter, more dangerous. When the CIA identifies a pattern that only one person would recognize, Katerina is pulled out of hiding and sent to Quantico to work with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. Dr. Spencer Reid doesn't know who Katerina really is-not yet. But as they investigate the dark psychology behind the kidnappings, their bond deepens, and so do the secrets she's been forced to keep. Together, they'll uncover the truth about a program that was never truly destroyed. And somewhere in the shadows, Nadia is still watching. trope: strangers to lovers spencer reid x female oc PLEASE DON'T BE A SILENT READER!!!Complete
