The Vanishing Season

3.5* Good story, great suspense and even if some details are a quite a stretch to make the story believable, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief in order to get to know Ellery and Reed a bit more. The characters are likable enough that I'm about to begin #2 in the series, No Mercy, and am excited that their stories seem to go on for a few more books after that.

Ellery is a survivor and although she's in law enforcement now, she's still got her trauma and her triggers to deal with, and I always enjoy reading about a flawed hero that is doing their best. Just enough suspense to be interesting, but not send my heart racing too much, so I can read/listen before bed and still fall asleep without issue.

Excited to continue the journey...
