My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book 8 in a series. I had not read the previous ones, and I was able to follow along. There were a lot of characters which would have been less confusing had I read previous stories. Overall the story captured my attention and was a great suspense and mystery. I had several guesses on who the murderer was, but ultimately I just wasn’t sure until it was revealed at the end. I loved the action in later parts of the book as well as discovering the mysteries. Great book, and I enjoyed it!

For me, this was read as a stand-alone, and the author is a new addition to my list. This book follows the twist and intertwined stories as Logan, freshly moved and married, finds a coworker dead, and ends up engrossed with the case. Her peaceful world is quickly crumbled, as secrets are revealed, and her volunteer job at the raptor rehabilitation becomes more than she could ever imagine.

Overall, a good murder mystery, and it was very easy for me to feel engrossed in this book. I felt more in the scenes rather than just being a reader and witness. I will happily start from the beginning and have added the other installments to this series on my TBR.

I enjoyed this book. I definitely was interested in the development of what happened that night. This psychological thriller really had some good points and brought interesting perspective to some hard topics like human trafficking. The dog was a great addition to the story. I definitely would read more by this author.

This story is kind of like a Final Girl but she gets justice by helping to find the suspect. This was intriguing in so many ways and I absolutely loved the dog in this story, it made it so much better. I did find this a little cheesy and unrealistic at times but I was invested the entire time. Angie was a badass in the beginning and then shocked into silence and I was worried she’d never talk again but loved that Cody helped her through that. It was such a unique twist to have a dog be the rescuer in this. There were a few twists and things I absolutely did not see coming so that was fun and overall this was a good story. Just wish Angie didn’t come off so much as a helpless child and there wasn’t so much weird tension that I didn’t understand between Brenda and Jake.

This was a unique collaboration by 19 authors, some of which were new to me. The stories were unique and yet complimented each other perfectly. There was something in this anthology for everyone including romance, second chances, danger, thrills, fantasy, mystery, heartache, hope, paranormal, drama and tension. It was a true rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. My favourites were After the Rein By J.A. Lafrance, Rock Star Lawyer (An Oliver Boys Rockstar Romance) By Rose Bak and Headliner (Sometimes #1) By A.L. Morrow.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I think the thing that makes this book so frightening (but very good) is that it is extremely realistic. You can imagine this really happens with tourists in a packed spring break town. The author clearly knows his way around the landscape of the story. Each detail makes it seem like this could be a newspaper expose rather than a novel. The characters are well built and I learned some things too – particularly about the VSRT!

I love a story that has a strong woman lead – this has two. FBI Special Agent Brenda Reynolds is fierce, caring, and loyal to her ethical code. Angie, the sole survivor of an attack, is the other main lead and she has some very strong instincts as well. The even better character than these two is the Golden Retriever, Cody. I love animals and have had some amazingly smart dogs in my life. Seeing them as a focal point in a novel is the perfect security for the thrill ride of the murder mystery. The tension between Brenda and Jake is palpable too and I can’t wait to read more about their budding partnership in future installments!

Logan McKenna is back! She recently moved to Oregon after marrying Ben, her equally intriguing and intelligent husband. She is handling the Fractals remotely and spending time writing and recording new music. There’s new friends and acquaintances, a new volunteer job at the Raptor Center, and a new dead body.

Evka, the raptor vet at the center, is found by Logan when she brings in a friend for a tour – along with the red tailed hawk they’d been treating. Something is off, Logan can feel it. Luckily, her friends are equally as invested in solving the mystery.

Will they discover the killer before they are in danger, themselves? As usual, a very smart, witty, engaging story with wonderful female leads and a mystery til the end. Beautiful world building. Another win.

This is book 8 in the series but reads as a stand alone novel. Love how this is set on the Oregon coast, places I’m familiar with and miss. I liked reading the point of view of the antagonist in parts, it gives increased tension to the story, and an insight on how he feels entitled to Evka. The plot keeps you turning the page guessing at who the killer is and what will happen next! I enjoyed this novel and will likely read more of this mystery series!

I have not had the privilege of reading any books by Mark Nolan before this one. I say that because I could not put this book down. The characters are amazing, the chemistry is off the charts, the plot is mesmerizing and all of that just makes for the best kind of book to lose yourself in.

Angie and her three friends plan a vacation trip for spring break but that all turns deadly when they are kidnapped and her three friends wind up dead. Angie barely escapes alive but is so traumatized that she is mute. In comes Brenda, an FBI agent who is part of an elite unit. It is her job to solve this heinous crime with some help from Jake and his dog Cody, unfortunately Brenda and Jake do not have the best relationship. Can they put their past run ins behind them to get to the bottom of this gruesome murder? Is Angie a victim or something more sinister like perpatrator of the murders?

There are more twists and turns to this book than a roller coaster. The characters are brilliantly thought out and leave you wanting to read the whole book in one sitting. If you like murder, mystery, thriller books then this is the book for you but definitely watch out not to read to late or you may find yourself losing out on sleep just to finish.

This was a very rare read that has me completely engaged from page one. This was the first book I had read from this author, but it is far from the last.

When Angie Taylor went on Spring Break with her 3 best friends, she never imagined it would end this way. Her friends were murdered, and Angie was able to just barely escape, but not without consequences. The police think Angie murdered her friends and she is shocked to her core, unable to speak on her innocence. A member of FBI, Brenda Reynolds, shows up to help figure out what’s going on. Will anyone be able to help Angie speak her truth or will she take it to her grave?

I read this book in one sitting! I really loved the relationship between the characters and the mystery throughout the book. Mark Nolan truly knocked it out of the park. I can’t wait to pick up more from him!

This book did not disappoint. The thrill and suspense were so real. I couldn’t put the book down. It starts with 4 girls who were all abducted, but 3 were murdered, and 1 escaped. Everyone already assumes that it was the survivor, but when the FBI get involved, many options are put out there. All of the characters are so good. Please read as you will not be disappointed!!!

Angie Taylor was enjoying her vacation with three of her friends when the worst thing imaginable happened. Last call of the night, a waiter served the girls shots on the house. Angie, being the designated driver, did not accept the shot. The three others did. Once they entered the car to go home, the waiter was there waiting for them with a gun in hand. Angie’s friends passed out one by one and the man demanded Angie drive them somewhere. Being sober, Angie still had her wits about her and somehow managed to escape the man. Once police arrived at the car, the other girls were stabbed to death. Blamed for her friend’s death, Angie is taken into custody and then never spoke a word until a month later.

With the help of an FBI agent, a golden retriever and his handler, and a kind nurse, Angie finally feels safe enough to start talking about what happened that night. Meanwhile the killer may come back to finish what he started.

This book was so intense and had so much happen in a short amount of time that I was invested immediately. There were times I gasped, teared up, clenched my fists. It was a wild ride but one that I was happy to take.

This was a wonderful read that was full of suspense! I kept trying to read super fast to see what happens next.

Logan is starting her new job at the Cascades Raptor Center working with the lead vet, Evka. She is fascinated by the fierce predatory nature of the hawks, owls, and eagles, but also how caring and compassionate Evka is towards the birds. Everything changes when Logan stumbles upon a dead body at the Center and can’t shake the feeling that it’s actually a murder. Unfortunately Logan can’t just ignore her gut instincts and the murderer decides she needs to be silenced. Will she be able to help crack the case or will she end up with the same fate?

I loved the amount of suspense and mystery throughout this book. I had NO idea what direction was up and there were so many twists that kept me guessing until the very end. I highly recommend In Plain Sight!

In Plain Sight follows Logan McKenna in another action-packed mystery by Valerie Davisson. In this installment, Logan is a volunteer at the Cascades Raptor Center where she aids in caring for killers of the avian type on a daily basis alongside the center’s veterinarian, Evka. One day a killer struck but this time, it was of the human type and the Cascades Raptor Center was hit with a tragedy. Logan and her friends, Sam and Jean, teamed up to solve the mystery. Can they find out who did it and why?
In Plain Sight is full of relatable characters and feelings. It is full of twists and turns and when you think you know who the killer is, a twist turns you in a different direction. I did not want to put it down. I would not change a single moment in this book. If you are looking for a fast-paced mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat, look no further.

This book was one that was so hard to put down. The chapters were well written and flowed. Every time I got to the end of one of the chapters, I had to remind myself I had things I needed to do and had to stop reading. The writer wasted no time to get into the juicy crime that followed the whole book. It had me rooting for the heroine right off the bat and continued as she became stronger and more confident in herself until the very last page.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an action packed trip to paradise. It does take a bit to build up the storyline but once it pulls you in you are hooked.

Nick and his wife decide to continue with their trip to Venice even though Nick was still healing from a serious head injury sustained during a hockey game. They make sure to see the sights of Venice including the Palazzo which contains the largest painting called paradise. This sets upon Nick and his wife a domino effect of past lives and a vicious secret society aimed at keeping the past where it belongs, in the past. Yet, for some reason a voice from the painting is calling out to Nick as a past lover and his current wife thinks he may have just gone off the deep end. Nick works diligently to get to the bottom of this mystery but in doing so is he putting his current marriage in the hot seat? Can Nick free the voice trapped in the painting that is calling out to him? Or is he destined for the same fate from the secret society that wishes to keep the past buried?

This author does a magnificent job of weaving the past Venice with the present in a tale of two time periods. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the storyline, the wonderful characters brought to life, and the chance to take a journey away from everyday life even for a moment or two. If you like mystery novels, with action, and a love triangle than you need to read this book. But be forewarned that once you pick it up you may not want to put it down!

In Plain Sight is Book 8 in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. Logan is now married to her best friend Ben and has settled into a routine. She still plays her beloved violin, Bella, and her music career is blossoming. Life is good and Logan has time to do the things she enjoys like going for morning runs by her home on the Oregon coast. It is during these runs that she becomes fascinated with the beauty of the owls, hawks, and eagles she encounters along the way. Wanting to learn more about these majestic creatures she decides to volunteer at the Cascades Raptor Center.

Through her volunteer work at the Cascades Raptor Center Logan not only learns more about the owls, hawks, and eagles but all the work involved in caring for them after they have been rescued. She meets an amazing team of volunteers who have dedicated their lives to the care of these majestic creatures. When Logan goes into volunteer at the Cascades Raptor Center early one morning, she is shocked to discover the body of one of her beloved co-workers in one of the wards. At first glance, it appears that her co-worker has died from natural causes, but Logan cannot shake the feeling that something is not right. Logan senses that there is more to her co-worker’s death than meets the eye because her co-worker’s office was also vandalized, and a threatening note was left for the co-worker on her blackboard.

When the police investigation seems to be going nowhere fast Logan enlists the help of two of her friends and the three of them set out to solve the mysterious death of Logan’s co-worker. Thankfully, her friends have connections, and they can uncover answers that even the police and the coroner have been unable to discover in their investigations. This sleuthing by Logan and her friends has the killer’s attention now focused on Logan. The deeper her and her friends dig the more sinister secrets are revealed putting Logan’s life in danger. She is now racing against time to solve the mystery before she becomes the killer’s next victim.

I found this book impossible to put down because I needed to find out who the killer was. This book had wonderful characters and was action packed throughout. I became immersed in the lives of Logan and her friends and fully invested in the mystery of her co-worker’s death. I found myself trying to guess at the killer’s identity based on the subtle cues the author gives throughout the book. Boy, was I surprised when the killer was not who I thought it was! The killer truly was hiding in plain sight all along! I highly recommend this book and am going to ensure that I read the rest of the books in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. If they are half as good as this book, I know that I will not be disappointed!

This is the first book I’ve ever touched by this author…and I’m very upset with myself that it has taken me this long to discover this talent! This is one of those stories that, starting out, I wasn’t sure if it would grab me, but it sure did. I appreciate or don’t appreciate a book mostly based on how well the characters are written and how they come alive for me. This book has some great characters, not to mention a furry one that, for me, is the icing on the cake. The way this author makes a dog one of the most exciting characters is wonderful. I really enjoy a good-paced story with an interesting plot to keep my attention, and I wasn’t disappointed there, either. I will absolutely be looking into getting my hands on more books by this author because it is definitely worth the time.

The girl who escaped is an engaging read and is well written. The characters are intriguing and easy to love. Angie has been through a massive trauma and I felt all her emotions. Brenda is such a strong character and is so driven. I haven’t read the Jake Wolfe series by this author and didn’t realise that Jake and Cody from this book had their own books but I am definitely going to check them out. I loved their characters. With suspense and edge of seat moments, this crime thriller is a must read. Highly recommend.

Teagan has no memories of being on a task Force. She doesn’t remember her teammates. All she knows is she’s brought some place she doesn’t remember. Now she needs to help an old friend out of a horrible situation. The quote I chose for Teagan is: “Can I call my family, Agent Clinton?”

This is a wonderful anthology for charity with so many wonderful stories with love, laughter and heartbreaking moments from fantastic authors. I am reviewing 3 of the stories…but they are all wonderful!

Clara’s Story by C.A. King — this story can hit home to anyone…heartbreaking in so many parts but there was also moments that tug at my heartstrings. Clara is a devoted mother and wife but she also has these moments of worry, especially when raising her daughter, Kristen. Raising a teenager is never easy, but when your world comes crashing down with a flash…..Clara does everything to be there for Kristen. This story really tug at me, and seemed so real. Wonderful story of heartbreak, sorry but also there is light at then end of that dark tunnel.

Rock Star Lawyer by Rose Bak – this is a romance story full of sizzle when two different people come to work together on a benefit concert….but fall in love. Jayden Oliver was part of a rock band with his brothers and had quite a fan base. When it was time to move on, Jayden became a lawyer to help people and keep a low profile. Alona Pavlenko is smart, a bit of sass and all about keep the task at hand to work with Jayden on this benefit concert strictly professional. Little did she know the Oliver family loves hard and forever.

After the Rein by JA Lafrance — this is all about standing up for yourself when you are put down by your own family and husband. Rein Brooks was totally heartbroken when her husband up and leaves her…leaving her feeling down, degraded and out. When Rein steps on Paddy Nickels foot by accident this is when the story takes off. Paddy is nothing like Rein’s ex, Mack. Paddy see’s all the good in Rein…..but at first doesnt know how to be what she needs in his life, except to hear her.
