In Places Hidden

Book description:  "Camrianne Coulter's brother Caleb is a successful San Francisco attorney. But when three months go by without a word from the usually communicative Caleb, Camri boards a train to the booming West Coast city to find out for herself why he hasn't written. When she arrives at his home, nobody seems to know where he is, or what has become of him.

Camri's search for her brother leads her deep into the political corruption of the city--and into the acquaintance of Patrick Murdock, who Caleb successfully defended from a false murder charge. Getting to know this handsome Irish contractor challenges all of Camri's privileged beliefs, but Patrick is unshakably loyal to her brother, and he seems to know more about what happened to Caleb than anyone else. As the two edge closer to the truth behind Caleb's disappearance, they risk angering the powerful forces that control the city. Can Camri trust Patrick to protect her from the dangers that lie hidden in San Francisco's backstreets?"

My review:  As with all of Tracie Peterson's books, I enjoyed reading In Places Hidden. There were a couple of times the story line was a little confusing with some of the details of the mystery, but overall, it was an intriguing story that kept me turning pages. I enjoyed Camri's story as well as her two friends, and hopefully their stories will continue in the next books in this series. I felt that Camri and Patrick's relationship was a little rushed under the circumstances, but that did not take away from the story. Mrs. Peterson has a great start to her next series. I look forward to reading them. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

If I Live

Book description:  "Casey Cox is still on the run after being indicted for murder. The hunt that began with her bloody footprints escalates, and she’s running out of places to hide. Her face is all over the news, and her disguises are no longer enough. It’s only a matter of time before someone recognizes her.
Dylan Roberts, the investigator who once hunted her, is now her only hope. Terrifying attempts on Dylan’s life could force Casey out of hiding. The clock is ticking on both their lives, but exposing the real killers is more complicated than they knew. Amassing the evidence to convict their enemies draws Dylan and Casey together, but their relationship has consequences. Will one life have to be sacrificed to protect the other?"
My review:  What a great ending to a great series! A page-turner for sure! From the first words of the first book in this series, I was hooked. Waiting for the second and third books to be released was agony. I read this final book in the series in one sitting. I couldn't put it down! Casey was one of those characters that felt so real I thought I would see her story in the news. Terri Blackstock is an amazing suspense author and this is my favorite series of hers. I'm usually not a fan of multiple points of view, but with this series I didn't care. If you love suspense, this is a series you don't want to miss. Just make sure you have all three. You will kick yourself if you don't. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
