I read this book in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down. Laurel Snow is an FBI consultant profiler who gets pulled into a serial killer case when her mom asks her to look into it. The authorities think her Uncle Carl might be the killer, but Laurel knows that's not true. To prove that, she needs to solve the crime and is directed to work with the Fish and Wildlife Captain, Huck Rivers, who has experience in the difficult terrain near the crime scene. Huck is grumpy and not thrilled to be working with a fed but Laurel grows on him. Together they work through a series of clues while the killer seems to be one step ahead of them. Secrets from Laurel's past come into play as the killer targets her. I highly recommended this romantic suspense thriller.

I just finished You Can Run, which I believe is the first book in a new series. Rebeca Zanetti is one of my go-to authors for romantic suspense and PNR. This story follows Laurel Snow, FBI Agent, as she travels home to work on a serial killer case in her home area. While working the case, she gets paired with Huck Rivers, a wildlife officer. Before she figures out the ultimate guy, she learns a lot about her background. There is a lot of suspense and a lot of potential bad buys. There is also a lot of action. Laurel and Huck definitely have a connection. While this story wraps up without a cliffhanger, there are a lot of questions about Laurel's personal life and the town. Looking forward to this new series!

Excellent book it has alot of fantastic twists in the plot and the characters are so real that you get ivested in them even though you aren't sure who the bad guy is. It's a good pace for the storyline you don't want to put it down and i love Laurel her attitude is just awesome and i love how smart she is. Definitely worth the read and hope there is going to be more from this group.

I am a pretty faithful Zanetti fan but this really felt like something very different! Laurel Snow is wonderfully nuanced and fascinating - brilliant and also aware of her flaws. (Her own mysterious past is a great storyline in itself!) I also really like Huck Rivers though! He is a growly, grumpy, loner with his own issues that he freely admits and is very clear about his needs in a relationship - lord I love some good communication!

I am fascinated where this found family series goes with the ongoing mysteries and character arcs! I don't usually settle for HFN and series that follow one couple for more than one book but I am very hooked and can't wait to see what happens next.

I received this ARC by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Once again Zanetti has created a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Well written, fast paced and plenty of action, so that you wouldn’t put it down. We are introduced to Laurel Snow a consultant profiler for the FBI. She is just going home to DC after doing a workshop when her mother calls to say that her Uncle Carl is in trouble and that the sheriff thinks he could be a serial killer. Laurel changes her plans and heads home to find out what kind of trouble her uncle is in and what she can do to solve the crime. While trying to solve this case, she meets Huck Rivers the fish and wildlife officer that guides her to the crime scene and then runs the joint team to catch this serial killer. Also, in interviewing possible witness we meet Dr. Abigail Caine who Laurel from the beginning feels distrust and something disturbing about this doctor. Read to see if Laurel solves this case and catches the serial killer; How does Dr. Abigail Caine fit into the picture? Grab a copy and find a warm, snuggly place to read and enjoy!

I loved this book immensely and cannot wait for the next one to come out! Every time I thought I had it figured out there was new information that changed everything. I was really hoping that Huck would stop being so stubborn, but I understand that is setting it up for future books. Laurel was a mix of naive and competent which I was very glad for the multiple points of view in order to fully see it.

Fast paced romantic suspense at its best!!! I couldn't put it down and stayed up half the night to finish reading this book. The characters were interesting and engaging and I quickly found myself immersed in their story. The author kept me guessing right up until the end - every time I thought I'd figured something out, she'd add a twist to surprise me.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this novel and want to put it at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

An FBI profiler, Laurel, gets drawn into an investigation in her hometown which somehow connects to the sister she didn’t know she had. What follows is cat and mouse game that exposes the sisters as two sides of the same coin—one dark, and one light. Then there’s Laurel’s attraction to Huck Rivers, the fish and wildlife officer guiding her to the crime scene—and into the wilderness . .

Great suspense.... lots of action, twists and turns..... slow building romance with lots of tension... A great start to a new series and I look forward to reading more in the series. Readers who love JD Robb will love this series...

Thanks to the publisher for providing an arc.

If you're looking for a book that will keep you on your feet, this is it. It was really good. It was filled with a lot of suspense and a really great ending. I enjoyed it. I am grateful that netgalley let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

This book is definitely in my top five favorite books this year! And I read so so much! Lol thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Laurel is a profiler for the FBI. She is extremely smart, different color eyes, and beautiful dark and red hair. Her mother calls her to tell her the cops think her uncle killed a bunch of women and dumped them off a cliff. Huck was a sniper in the military and now works for Fish and Wildlife. He does search and rescue along with his dog. He is a loner until he meets Laurel. Bodies just keep piling up and it’s a race to find the killer before he kills again. One leads them to a doctor Abigail who has become fixated on Laurel.

I know this is short but dang it I didn’t know what to write without giving anything away. 😫😫😫😫 Let me tell you, you will not be able to put it down. Action, secrets, and a wild ride. This is the first book in a new series and you really don’t want to miss it. If you read only one book this year..read this one.

* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

What a great start to a new series from Rebecca Zanetti. I loved the plot, story line and fell in love with Huck, I am looking forward to more in this series. 📖📖📖

Ohhh such a good book and one I will follow for more with the main character in it.

I like those interesting twists and turns in the books by this author and this book took me places I didn't see going.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This wasn't my usual type of read - but I do love Rebecaa Zanetti - so I gave it a shot! It is more on the mystery side of things - with a strong romantic element throughout. I think most readers who were alive in the 90s will get some <i>serious</i> Single White Female vibes from parts of this book.

Laurel is a genius - literally - she was a child prodigy and has grown up to be a profiler and special agent for the FBI. When her mother calls her to ask her to help with a situation with her uncle and a possible serial killer, Laurel drops everything to head home and help. I loved Laurel's character - she was fascinating in so many ways. Plus her even temperament really worked for the story. Especially amidst the chaos of what was happening.

Huck is a tracker and captain with the forestry and wildlife bureau. He has his own painful history that he is trying to live through - and his history definitely casts a broad shadow across the whole book.

I liked the pacing of the book and the overall mystery. The bad guys were not a surprise - but the way we get to the final scenes was still gripping. I didn't like all the unanswered questions and the lack of resolution of many things - I only figured out towards the end of the book that this was the start of a series similar to JD Robb or Janet Evanovich. It drove me INSANE that Laurel never really asked her mother or her uncle or the sheriff or anyone why they immediately put pressure on him for the murders. Like before the crime scene was even finished being investigated. I know why he was a suspect later - but its the beginning that I still question. Why? Sometimes they were asking really good questions as investigators - and other times I felt like they were not asking the obvious stuff.

Overall - it was a promising start to a series - especially if you love JD Robb-like books!

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

Laurel Snow is an FBI profiler called home when her uncle is a suspect in a murder. Bodies have been found on a snowy mountain, and Laurel will have to work with Fish & Wildlife Officer Huck Rivers to solve the case. Of course, as the case heats up so does her relationship with Huck. This book starts out slow with character introductions and eventually picks up speed and some steaminess in the middle. But ultimately, the story line was so unbelievable and frivolous. Much of the first half of the book details Laurel hiring an assistant whom she had just met and obsessing over the fact that her office had no furniture. There was also the introduction of a character who, like Laurel, was a child prodigy, and the two of them pretentiously use big words to prove their intelligence; they’re even called out on it by another character. The characters were flat, and there was very little back story to get the readers to care about them until near the end. This book was both too much (too many side story lines to build up to a series) and not enough (the use of Laurel’s uncle was just a device to get her there as he was barely a suspect, and the book was lacking in detail about both the case at hand and a build to a romantic relationship.)

A great start to a new series. Agent Laurel Snow is a FBI agent that hasn't got the best people skills she finds it easier to catch the worst of the worst instead of playing nice. When her Mother calls her to say that her uncle Carl is a suspect in a series of murders but Laurel knows that he just hasn't it in him to hurt others. She knows that she needs to go home to find out the truth. Her boss agrees that she can go home and to see what she can find out.
She needs to find Captain Huck Rivers of the Washington Fish & Wildlife to take her up to the murder site. He isn't what she was expecting and he is surprised by Laurel as well.
Can they work together to find the killer?
The sexual tension is very much around them but both of them know that this isn't the right time for a relationship. But can they work together without giving in to their needs?
When Laurel finds out the truth about why she looks so different and that she has a sister that she can't trust as she could be the killer. The more the team digs the stranger things become as the suspect pools keeps on growing.
Will they be able to find the killer before more women are killed?
A great read full of action and suspense. I can't wait to see what happens in future books.
I was lucky enough to receive a copy via Netgalley & the publishing house in exchange for my honest review.

This is the first book in a new series featuring FBI agent Laurel Snow. I found the main characters interesting and would read more books featuring them. I don't know how I feel about one of the supporting characters as she was a little too much.

Rebecca Zanetti's books have always been wildly hit-or-miss for me. I wanted to give YOU CAN'T RUN a fair try, mainly because it's the beginning of a new RS series. Zanetti did a fair job with the storyline; and a really good job with the characters, turning them from two-dimensional stereotypes to realistic people who leap off the page. The supporting cast and the list of suspects is every bit as rich. I especially enjoyed Aeneas, an exceptionally trained Karelian Bear Dog who had a unique personality.

The brutal winter climate and punishing terrain add to the tension in the story, to the point that the setting becomes a character itself. It was the perfect backdrop for this escalating serial killer thriller. And the subplots weaved into the main plot seamlessly, providing a satisfying conclusion. There are enough dangling threads and remaining characters to easily continue this series.

As long as the quality holds, this new series looks to be a winner.

This is the first book in a new series and I know there will be more books in this series as there were unanswered questions at the end. I loved everything about this book. The story line caught me from the start and there were surprising revelations that I was not expecting. I also loved the relationships and the secondary characters. Highly recommended

A Chilling Thriller and a Steamy Budding Romance

I’ve been reading a ton of my preferred genre (mystery/suspense/thriller) lately, and thought I might soften things up just a bit by reading a romantic suspense/romantic thriller novel. When I saw the comps for Rebecca Zanetti’s YOU CAN RUN (The Blacklist, The Profiler, fans of J.D. Robb), I was hooked. And I wasn’t disappointed.

A serial killer is loose in Washington. The bodies found are on the boundary of federal and state land. Normally, an overworked FBI agent wouldn’t seek out such a case. But when a family member is a suspect, how can she not?

Laurel Snow is not a heroine many people could relate to. She has an eidetic memory, multiple degrees, and a high-profile job with the FBI as a profiler. Laurel is young to be so accomplished—she went to college as a child—and that, combined with a complicated family life, has left her awkward in social situations. She’s excellent at reading people but can’t crack one-on-one relationships.

To solve this mystery, she’s paired with Huck Rivers, a reclusive captain from the Washington Fish and Wildlife Agency. He’s got hard edges. A cool exterior with something volatile simmering underneath. And a past that haunts him. One that might prove dangerous. One that might point to him as the killer.

Zanetti crafts these characters with deft skill. The subtle nuances she gives each breathes life into them, turning them from two-dimensional stereotypes to realistic people who leap off the page or screen. The supporting cast and the list of suspects is every bit as rich. And I absolutely fell in love with Aeneas, an exceptionally trained Karelian Bear Dog that never leaves Huck’s side.

The brutal winter climate and punishing terrain add to the tension in the story, to the point that the setting becomes a character itself. It was the perfect backdrop for this escalating serial killer thriller. And the subplots weaved into the main plot seamlessly, providing a satisfying conclusion.

There are enough dangling threads and remaining characters to easily continue this series. I’m really hoping to see an epic rivalry develop between two specific characters that might someday be compared to Sherlock and Moriarty. But even if that doesn’t happen, I’ll eagerly continue with this saga.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a gratis copy of the book in exchange for my unbiased opinion.
