Brenna Spector is a private investigator with a very special ability. Her memory is perfect and she never, ever forgets anything. This comes from a neurological disorder that causes her to have perfect recall of any moment in her past. The one exception to this is the day her older sister, Clea, disappeared. She can remember bits and pieces of that day but not enough that has ever helped to find her.

It can be a huge help to remember everything without ever writing it down when you're a private investigator. But it also intrudes when you're trying to lead as normal a life as possible. Brenna has an ex-husband that she kind of still loves but he's remarried now. She also has a 13 year old daughter named Maya who has her mother's independence. Then there's Brenna's assistant Trent who sees himself as a god among men. While annoying, he's also an expert with computers and a very loyal friend.

Trent has taken on a case for himself and Brenna involving a missing person. The person missing is named Lula Belle and she calls herself an artist. A lot of people would call it porn. Lula Belle is a shadow only and no one can see her face. What she does give her website subscribers are a lot of very sensual and flexible poses while telling stories from her past in a mesmerizing southern accent. Men are so drawn in by this woman that there's a minor Internet wide panic when she suddenly disappears.

Brenna's ex-boss, the obnoxious Errol Ludlow, has contacted Trent to get Brenna in on the search. At first Brenna says no. Then Trent shows her one of the videos of Lula Belle in action. That's all it takes for Brenna to change her mind. The story that Lula Belle is telling is one from Brenna's own childhood; a story that only she and her missing sister, Clea, would know. Convinced that Lula Belle is somehow tied to Clea, she takes on the case.

Before it's over, there will be another missing person who may or may not have left with Lula Belle, a secretive talent agent, and a murderous beauty on the loose. Brenna can't throw in the towel on this one, though. It's the closest that she's ever been to discovering what happened to her sister.

Then, there's Detective Nick Morasco who she may or may not want as a more important part of her life. There are just too many things to figure out and Brenna has to see it all through. But how many people have to die before she finds the solution?

INTO THE DARK is the second Brenna Spector novel and I'm hoping there will be many more of them. Brenna is totally someone I would love to hang out with as long as she wasn't in the middle of a deadly case. Trent is so ridiculously loveable and you'll recognize men that you've known in him. Peppered with snappy dialogue and plenty of flashbacks, INTO THE DARK will have you on the edge of your seat as you're propelled toward a real twister of an ending.
