This book was a page turner for me. I really liked Whitney and Leo. She is such a young woman who has so much to deal with: face blindness, student loan debt, living away from her Dad after her Mom died, no place to live, watching a murder take place right in front of her, and someone then trying to kill her. I also learned about cryptocurrency which I try to understand but still can not get the notion of it. It was such a fast paced novel and very well written. The ending was a bit predictable but that was OK, it was still a great read.

Thanks to #ThomasNelsonFiction & #Netgalley & #SiriMitchell for allowing me and ARC of this great book

Whitney has face blindness so she can't identify the man who killed the customer she just served at her coffee bar. He doesn't know that. She's dealing with a lot in her life- she's studying for the bar, keeping herself safe from an abusive ex, and working two jobs. Luckily, she's got a friend in Detective Leio Baroni but even he can't help when the bad guy stalks her. How does cryptocurrency fit in? Well, this is set in Washington DC and its suburbs so you know there's going to be more to the story. No spoilers from me. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A. good read.

I really enjoyed Siri Mitchell's last suspense novel, State of Lies, and after reading this one, I am officially a fan of her work! This book was deeply layered in so many ways, from the plot to the characters to the suspense. It feels ripped from the headlines, dealing with subjects like cryptocurrency and China’s quest for power.

Although her rare condition of face blindness makes her unique, Whitney is a relatable character as she struggles with getting a job, getting out of debt, and moving past the pain her ex-boyfriend caused her. Leo really helped make the story for me too! His care for Whitney, and the way he would do anything to protect her, added him to my list of favorite fictional heroes. The suspense and tension ran high throughout the book, with twists and turns around every corner. The story struck just the right balance of compelling characters and an engaging plot that makes you think and keeps you guessing. Everywhere to Hide is an excellent suspense novel - one that I think fans of Rachel Dylan, Carrie Stuart Parks, and Sibella Giorello will especially enjoy!

What if you saw a murder, but you didn't really "see" the victim/killer? That's what this book endeavors to investigate... pun very much intended.

This story did a great job balancing the struggle of our young protagonist through her turbulent life, as well as the mystery of why someone seemingly random was killed. And to think that not being able to see faces is the least of her problems.

All of the plotlines truly come together at the end and it is quite a thrilling ride. Intriguing, fast paced, and well written, I highly recommend this one.

Thanks to NetGalley and PICT for an ARC. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this book. I learned about a lot of things I had never heard of before, like face-blindness. It was fascinating seeing how so many things were affected by it, such as not recognizing your own face in a mirror. It raised so many questions for me. It made things all the more complicated when Whitney “witnessed” a murder but couldn’t describe much about the killer.
There was a lot of information on crypto-currency. At times it was a little much but Mitchell did a great job of showing how helpful and dangerous such a thing is. I hope wise minds are working on keeping it safe.
I liked Leo and how kind he was. He believed Whitney and defended her.
I enjoyed the mystery and would highly recommend this book. Thanks to Thomas Nelson for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

The story line was great. Whitney has a handicap that I had never heard of. It’s called face blindness. I looked it up to see if it even exists. Sure enough it does. This makes her unable to identify the killer. The killer doesn’t know this about her so they come after her trying to tie up loose ends. The is a good mystery and kept me reading.

The cons: It seemed like the author was trying to push the cyber currency and went into great detail about it. She went into detail several times during the book. I skimmed that part. Another thing I didn’t like was the reference to Whitney and her ex-boyfriend moving in together. There was also the part where she wanted Leo to sleep with her. Although, they did nothing but sleep. I found this quite disturbing as this book was from Thomas Nelson Publishing. They are a Christian Publishing House. To me this gives people the impression that since a Christian publisher is publishing the book it must be ok. I’m very disappointed in Thomas Nelson. For this reason I would not recommend this book.

I was given this book by Thomas Nelson Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in anyway.

I absolutely loved this book! It was not only an intense mystery/thriller, but it was also educational and extremely timely. To begin, the star of the novel is Whitney. She's a law school grad who's holding down two jobs while she studies for the bar exam and interviews with law firms.. Aside from being a truly interesting, empathetic character, Whitney suffers from face blindness, which she's had since birth. I kept imagining how difficult her life would be when she spends her day not recognizing anyone with whom she's interacting. That includes her abusive ex-boyfriend, her customers at the cafe where she's a barista, or the students she tutors for their SAT/ACT exams. Her face blindness is particularly inconvenient when she leaves work by the back door one day and discovers a man who has been shot and gets a glimpse of his killer. Fortunately, the detective assigned to the case, Leo, readily grasps her condition and stays at her side throughout to protect her from retaliation from the killer.

Along with the top-line mystery, Everywhere to Hide is about cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin) and global politics. I was fascinated by the power of cryptocurrency, especially as it pertains to third world nations and as a currency standard. I still don't fully understand cryptocurrency, but I have a much better grasp of the subject now. There's also a lot of information about China's quest for power and the fallout of trade wars. This novel gave me an entirely new perspective on how recent actions by the US to fight China, while at the same time alienating our allies (France, Canada, the UK, Germany, etc.) has had the opposite result of actually increasing China's position of power in the world. To be clear, Everywhere to Hide is a crisp thriller/mystery; it was just a happy byproduct that I learned so much.

The author is a wonderful writer and beautifully develops her characters. This was a fast-paced book, with the action starting early on and not letting up until the final page. My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for introducing me to Siri Mitchell with this fantastic novel. Opinions are my own.

I have read and enjoyed many suspense books through the years. But I have to give author Siri Mitchell tremendous props for her brilliant backstory/neurological condition that she gives her main character. Although certain parts of revealed in the book cover, I do not want to say too much and ruin the storyline.

Throughout the book, the main character, Whitney Garrison is vulnerable in unexpected ways. This not only caused me to want to see her to succeed, but this also results in the reader feeling a bit on edge throughout the story. Whitney has had to overcome tough challenges, yet she continues to try to find the truth and to find the answers as to why she is suddenly having strangers following her. I wondered about certain characters' connections, but once what was happening was revealed, there were parts that I did not anticipate.

Whitney grows as a person throughout the book. Originally she had closed herself off due to an unfortunate situation that she was involved with. She does learn how to move on. Faith is an element to the story, but I would not say that it is a driving force. This is almost more of a clean read.

One unexpected bonus for me was the frequent comments made about scholastic testing. Whitney is a tutor, so she is constantly reassuring students that their worth is more than their test score number. I actually have a senior who just took his first ACT test due to delays from the pandemic. These reminders were needed, and I will continue to pass on the words of encouragement to my son to remind him that he is valuable no matter his number.

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy plot twists, strong female protagonists and strong storylines. Thank you to Thomas Nelson and to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book before it was published. All opinions about the book are my own.

This book grabs you on the first page and doesn't let go. It deals with a condition that I've never heard of face blindness. This book will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. You don't want to miss this book. Thank you Thomas Nelson--FICTION via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a fascinating book about Whitney, a young woman who witnesses a murder but can't identify anyone because she has a condition called "face blindness," I've heard of it but never read about it so this was really interesting to see (literally) through her eyes what she can and can't perceive. Working as a barista, she hopes to pass the bar exam and be an attorney when the unthinkable happens and she's drawn into a web of craziness with the police, the FBI, and her abusive ex-boyfriend. Who is stalking her, breaking into her basement home, and terrorizing her? Her protector, detective Leo is the only stable influence in her life. It's a whirlwind of a novel that gives you a glimpse into what it must be like to live with this disorder and find ways to make peace with your surroundings and the people in it!

Fascinating thriller seen through the eyes of Whitney, a young law school graduate who has the little known disorder of face blindness. After witnessing a murder, Whitney may be the key to finding the killer and saving a market collapse due to the Chinese. Lots of technical terms about cryptocurrency but the author does a great job explaining the concept. This is a very realistic novel that parallels with some of today's cyber attacks. I loved learning about face blindness and the ways people cope with the disorder. I loved that Whitney helped students prepare for tests and encouraged them. I loved that Leo saw past Whitney's disorder to the wonderful intelligent person she was. Highly recommended!

This story has the makings of a good murder mystery, and I did not figure out the bad guy prematurely.
It was a learning curve to become acquainted with a condition called facial blindness where a person’s brain cannot visualize or recall the features of anyone’s face.
It was difficult to wade through economics and a concept called cryptocurrency. A lot of the story is filled with details which were in layman’s terms, but bogged me down at times trying to understand it all.
Be prepared for a more mentally involved murdered mystery in lieu of an easy read.

Everywhere to Hide by Siri Mitchell is a suspense story about a law school graduate and a murder.
The story is told in the first point of view, it's well written with a good structure. There are many great detailing descriptions that
highlight the right parts to maximize the mystery.

The plot is unique and enthralling. It starts by explaining the main character's current situation and then slowly delves into the murder
and the mystery behind it. It gets quite intense as the story progresses especially towards the end where it ends with a bang.
We get so much helpful information the right time that makes it easy to follow up with the storyline even though it gets a bit confusing
if you aren't familiar with the subject (like me). The author touches subtlety some serious topics which as she explains later they are based on real events.

The main character is incredible and relatable on many levels mostly because of her misfortunes. She is such a courageous person, a real
fighter, also she is so polite and caring. With a few words, she is admirable.

Apart from the story what I liked was the author's note in the end. She explains how she wrote the book and she let us know a few things
about the prosopagnosia and the scandal that her story is based on.

In conclusion, Everywhere to Hide is one of the best suspense books of 2020. I loved it, I highly recommend it and my rating will be 5
bright stars!!!

PS. I chose not to describe the plot myself because the blurb of the book is very accurate and I didn't want to repeat the same thing or
accidentally reveal something important.

This was so good, you really have to read it! From the very beginning, you are dropped straight into the action. Someone has been murdered, and from that first page, I was pulled into the plot of the story and I did not want to leave. Whitney Garrison was a character that I could and did connect with. She was real, vulnerable, and compassionate towards others. Because of her ex-boyfriend who was abusive towards her, she struggled with the trust of others. Her condition of face blindness was something that I have never heard of, and I thought the author worked it into the storyline seamlessly. Whitney is trying to get by, working two jobs, living in a basement apt, and studying to pass the bar exam. She’s afraid of being hurt like she was before, and I felt that it was accurately portrayed in her actions and what she doesn’t do. I didn’t want to leave this fictional world, it was so real for me. It was fantastic. I cannot wait for Ms. Mitchell’s next suspense book!

What an exciting mystery/thriller! I had never heard of “face blindness” – the condition Whitney suffers from. The story delves into her feelings and how difficult it is to live with never seeing a face. Whitney sees a murderer but cannot identify him. But the murderer knows who she is. The story also touches on the fate of so many young people who stress out over the unrealistic expectations of their parents and the problem of tremendous student debt. Whitney is working two jobs while she studies for the bar exam. Her goal is to pass it so she can work 100 hours a week and make enough money to pay off her student debt. Then she thinks she’ll be able to start living. Leo, the detective, enters her life when she witnesses the murder. He is a strong yet gentle man who is attracted to Whitney. I caught the clue to the bad guy’s identity that Mitchell wove into the story, so I wasn’t totally surprised by the ending. Four stars!!

I really enjoyed this book. First, I didn’t realize that there was such a thing as facial blindness until I read this book. I looked it up Google and found that Siri’s description was spot on. She also did her homework on the China hacks and on cryptocurrency.

I liked that the book didn’t reveal the murderer too soon in the story. I thought that any of the characters could be a suspect based on the subtle hints but the author definitely kept me guessing. This was a very interesting book, keeping me on edge and wondering what was going to happen next.

Rating: 5 out of 5

I received this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for a review.

Preorder this book today! You won’t regret it. Especially if you love suspense with intriguing characters and problems.

Whitney Garrison keeps just wants to get by. Swamped in debt from attending a prestigious university, graduate school, and then law school, she works three jobs and studies for the bar exam in every spare minute. When she passes (if she passes) she knows she’ll find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow—a lucrative job with a big law firm in Washington D.C.

Her only problem? Her ex-boyfriend. She’s taken out a restraining order, but the fear never really goes away. And then she walks out the back door of the coffee shop where she works and sees a dead man lying in the ally. Glancing up, she sees the killer before he disappears from sight.

The killer saw her, too. Only the killer doesn’t know her secret. While he might pick her out from millions of other faces, she has no idea what he looks like. Even though she looked right at him.

When she explains why she can’t identify the dead man, nor the killer to Detective Leo Baroni, he doesn’t believe her. After all, who can’t identify faces? But Whitney suffers from a rare neurological condition that renders human faces as unrecognizable blurs.

Whitney fears for her safety, and at first, no one believes the killer will come after her. But strange things start happening. She convinces Detective Baroni that she needs help, and he becomes the one person she can trust as events spiral out of control.

Will they find the killer before it’s too late?

Who Will Love This Book

I love Siri Mitchell’s books, and this one ranks right up there with State of Lies. The taut action keeps the reader guessing and flipping through pages at a furious rate. Above all, Mitchell helps us understand that the entire world doesn’t see the same way. In order to get along, we have to learn to trust each other and not betray the trust given to us.

EVERYWHERE TO HIDE...by Siri Mitchell
A good description and story around facial blindness, cryptocurrency and China. Good use of real life situations and happenings she has woven into the plot. A touch of romance with Leo showing his protectiveness with Whitney yet, not over powering her. A good clean story to enjoy.
Given ARC by Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for my voluntary
review and my honest opinion.

Whitney Garrison is a law student who is studying for the bar exam, coaching kids for their SAT / ACT test and working in a coffee shop to survive and pay her college debt until she passes the exam and secures a job with a prestigious law firm. To make matters worse she is trying to avoid her ex-boyfriend, a congressman’s son and rich elite who she has a restraining order against. Someone is murdered in the alley by the coffeeshop right as she is clocking out to go to her tutoring gig. The problem is Whitney is face blind. Her mind doesn’t map the faces of individuals so she doesn’t recognize anyone by their face only by their other features and manner of dress and their hair. She is therefore unable to describe the shooter or recognize the victim. Detective Leo Baroni is on the case and once he finds out about her face blindness he is determined to look out for her and keep her safe. There is a killer on the loose and a stalking ex-boyfriend and she is definitely in danger.

I loved how this played out and I learned a lot about the issue of face blindness. This is full of Chinese espionage, corrupt government officials and partner abuse. All of it is intermingled and makes for a very good story that keeps you guessing. I definitely had to stay up till I finished it in the wee hours.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Merry-go-Round of Danger!

Whitney is a hard-working young woman with two jobs, and trying to pass the bar. She is terrorized when cryptocurrency and murder become part of her life. As she tries to unravel what is going on, she is impaired by a disability known as face blindness—a condition that makes her unable to recognize faces.

She is also weighed down by fear of her ex-boyfriend, mountains of debt, lack of friends, grief, poor communication with her dad, homelessness, killers, pressure to pass the bar and the panic of getting a good job. Although the story’s tale of intrigue is fascinating with lots of action and twists, some of it gets upstaged by all the things going on in Whitney’s life. A good portion of the narrative focuses on her unhappiness with her accumulated school debt, and her defeatist attitude toward life.

This is a clean tale (although Whitney had been okay with living with her boyfriend in the past), but it is not a Christian story. That is too bad, because if ever there was a character that needed spiritual help, it is Whitney.

I am a fan of the author, but this story never took off for me. There was so much piled onto Whitney’s character, that believability was stretched to a breaking point. Additionally, questions about her father were left unanswered, leaving me hanging. I recommend this 4-star book to fans of thrillers.
