Netgalley eARC Review- You Can Run (Laurel Snow #1) by Rebecca Zanetti!

 You Can Run (Laurel Snow #1)


BLURB:

“Be prepared to stay up all night . . .”*

Suspense, danger, romance, and family drama converge as a rising star profiler strives to stay one step ahead of the criminal mind—and discovers that her own demons may be the hardest to outrun...


Laurel Snow wouldn’t call hunting a serial killer a vacation, but with a pile of dead bodies unearthed near her Genesis Valley, WA, hometown, she’ll take what she can get. Yet something about this case stirs her in unexpected ways. Like the startling connection she feels to Dr. Abigail Caine, a fiercely intelligent witness with a disturbing knack for making Laurel feel like she has something on her. Then there’s Laurel’s attraction to Huck Rivers, the fish and wildlife officer guiding her to the crime scene—and into the wilderness . . .

A former soldier and a trained sniper, Huck’s thirst for blood is rivaled only by his fierce pursuit of Laurel. He’s been burned by love, wounded by the government, and betrayed before, and to say he has trust issues is the ultimate understatement . Plus, he might be closer to this killer than anybody knows…

Once in the heart of darkness with Huck, Laurel must negotiate her distracting desire for him, her complex rapport with Abigail—and her mission to find a serial killer among a growing list of suspects and a danger that’s far too close to home. So close in fact, Laurel fears she will never find her way back to the woman she once was . . .

*“Rebecca Zanetti takes you on a thrill-ride, pitting characters you love against impossible odds.”
—New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan*
 


MY REVIEW:

You Can Run is like watching an incredible thriller on TV...its vivid, breathtaking, edge of your seat exciting and impossible to keep your eyes off the pages!

This review was one of the hardest for me to write. Its not because the book was awful but because of the opposite. It was one of the most thrilling reads of 2021! It was loaded to the MAX with twists you don't see coming and with a slow tantalizing romance that grips your heart and has you wondering how the next book will turn out. I loved the way this book was written. Rebecca Zanetti wrote this book in a way that urges the reader to play detective throughout the story and help the heroine figure out who the killer really is. At least for me it felt that way and I really enjoyed it 100%. 

Now lets talk a bit about Laurel and Huck. I really loved these two. Like a WHOOOOOOLE lot and I am already anxious to see where things go for them in the next book. Laurel is seriously a genius. Super intelligent, kind and isn't easily controlled by emotion, I found her to be a really endearing heroine. She is a beautiful heroine inside and out and I rooted for her from the moment I started reading. The way her mind works is fascinating and really amazing. Now Huck is a broody, borderline rude hero who quite honestly dug himself in my heart straight away. He is bold, sexy, prefers his amazing dog over most people and knows his way around the outdoors and mountains. I loved watching Huck and Laurel interact with each other and with other people during their investigations. They had such awesome chemistry and they worked great as a team. I think Huck is a perfect match for Laurel in every way. Their chemistry is a slow, steady burn that I feel a reader can sense right through the pages. I can't wait for more of these two!

You Can Run was a never ending, thrilling roller coaster ride with lots of spectacular twists and turns and will keep a reader engaged and guessing until the very end. This was well written GOLD!
