I liked the writing style. Abigail is creepy. My favorite characters are Huck and Huck's dog, Aeneas. I didn't know who the killer was.
I received an arc from NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review.
This is the second in the Laurel Snow series, it can be read as a standalone as far as the mystery is concerned. To understand the characters’ relationships and character development I would start with number one in the series. This was a well written mystery that kept me guessing. I think Laurel is such a great and unique character. If you enjoy trying to solve a good mystery with a little romance mixed in I would definitely recommend this book and this series. Can’t wait to check out the next one.
Another great addition to the series! How two half-sisters can be so different yet look the same..... Abigail is just so twisted and gets even more so in this storyline, yet Laurel can't quite prove what she knows deep down about her half sister. Laurel and Huck's back and forth banter and further developing relationship grows. The reader meets some new characters in the FBI office that Laurel is trying to get set up among these terrorizing murders in the area, that she knows is somehow connected to her sister.
Zanetti brings heat to the snowy town of Genesis Valley, WA ?❄️
Laurel Snow doesn’t get much of a break from crime before she’s on the chase for a new serial Killer in her hometown. You Can Hide is the sequel to You Can Run. Both are based in a small town just outside of Seattle Washington. It’s definitely strange that a small town would be plagued by two sadistic killers in a short span of time. There’s definitely more to this story that is just out of our reach from the very start.
At this point, Laurel still isn’t sure if she will stay in Genesis Valley, or move onto a bigger city’s FBI task force. Her team and field office are still in temporary mode which doesn’t slow them down. Someone is leaving women dead in the snow surrounded by dark flower petals. Who they are, and how they’re left outside is not done by chance. Someone is angry, and they’re on the hunt in Laurel’s town. The search for a serial killer is the obvious story plot, but the greater mystery is what this killing spree has to do with Laurel and her half-sister Abigail.
We need more of Huck and Laurel!
While Zanetti knows her way around a thriller, she’s definitely known for being a steamy romance writer. I appreciate that she sneaks in a romantic storyline for Laurel and Huck. There’s a whole song and dance going on between them while they investigate this case, together. It’s amusing to follow because of Laurel’s inability to read Huck’s social cues. Her beyond-genius brain is very literal and precise. This leads to funny misunderstandings, and several moments were Huck learns to avoid sarcasm at all costs.
You Can Hide by Rebecca Zanetti is a non-stop page turner. We mostly stay in Laurel’s perspective while following through on leads, but we do venture into the mind of the mysterious killer as well. Just when you think you have the killer pinned, Zanetti surprises us all. It’s never an obvious answer with her, and the ending is just not enough. When You Can Hide came to close, I was desperately trying to swipe for more pages. I have so many questions, and yet I’m totally satisfied with this book.
I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me through NetGalley. This book was just absolutely wonderful. It was just so easy to get lost in and I just couldn’t put it down. I just lost myself within this amazing story. I most definitely will read more by this author.
Wow! What an amazing sequel to the series!
I was glued to my Kindle until the very end! You won’t believe what happens! Read the book today!
Laurel Snow is an FBI profiler assigned to her hometown in the Pacific Northwest because the FBI is thinking of putting an office there. But Laurel’s “special set of skills” is requested all over the country helping solve crimes and bringing killers to justice. How you say? Laurel is a child prodigy, graduated high school and college very young. Laurel also has a PhD and can get into the minds of psychopaths, narcissists, crazies and all kinds of weirdos. She’s very successful but sometimes wonders and worries if she isn’t also a psychopath herself because of her abilities and her lack of “appropriate” people skills.
What Laurel really is, is a woman dedicated to her job and getting justice for the victims and their families. She often cares too much but uses logic and reasoning to ground and center herself. Laurel is a complex, multifaceted character and I love watching the dynamics change as she interacts with each and every individual. There’s no subterfuge with Laurel, she says exactly what she means and she means exactly what she says. How refreshing is that?
In You Can Hide, Laurel is barely back in town after consulting on an out-of-state case when there’s a body discovered. She’s working the case again with hunky Fish and Wildlife captain, Huck Rivers. They had a little friends-with-benefits action in the first book and have kept things professional ever since. Huck told Laurel he doesn’t want anything serious and neither does she. He is surprised that Laurel actually meant what she said so their working relationship isn’t awkward. Which is a good thing because it is going to take everything they have to solve the case.
You Can Hide is a full-throttle ride of subterfuge, intrigue and a blow-your-mind mystery that will keep you up late at night! The suspense is palpable. The villain(s) is/are deliciously duplicitous. And the chemistry between Laurel and Huck is a slow-burning flame that will thoroughly consume you. Oh Captain, My Captain indeed!
I highly recommend the series!
This is such an awesome series! I love love it. Action and romance is a great combo! Zanetti is an amazing author who is an expert at creating a world that you can completely immerse yourself in.
F.B.I. Profiler Laurel Snow and Captain Huck Rivers of the Fish and Wildlife department once again have their hands full in Genesis Valley. There is a serial killer running around and everyone is suspect, especially her step-sister Abigail. This story is full of twists and turns. Just when I thought I had figured out who done it, Ms Zanetti throws a monkey wrench in my theory. I love the interaction between all of the characters. The suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
I thought I would really like this series so I requested this one before I had finished the first. Not impressed. Feel like it’s been done before. Maybe just not for me. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this spot for review
I love this new series! This book fits in well with the series and with Ms Zanetti’s book world. I enjoyed reading more into Laurel and will continue with this series.
I think I like this book more than the first one! To me, there was a lot more suspense and just a general who done it type of book. But, it was so good that I was interested from start to finish! Laurel is so smart and just has this way of handling things, that you can't help but like her. I'm still on the fence about Huck, but honestly he is a good character in these books. Laurel's sister is super creepy, but it just adds to the story. This book can absolutely be read as a standalone, but I do recommend the first one just because it is good. I still think that it's romance light, and that's not a bad thing for this series. But, as someone who primarily reads romance-sometimes I miss it! Otherwise, it's a great story and definitely will keep your attention!
You Can Hide is the perfect book in Rebecca Zanetti's Laurel Snow series. Having read her other genres I am beyond happy to add her thriller series to my collection. The suspense is riveting, the characters colorful and the action is fabulous. Can't wait for the next in the series.
I absolutely love any book written by Rebecca Zanetti. Her writing is addictive. I definitely recommend reading this book. While it can be done as a stand alone. I would also read the other books in the series, just because it is a great series. This story has action and romance. I plan on rereading it again.
Rebecca Zanetti does it again! This book had me gasping and desperately needing to talk to others that had read this book to discuss immediately! This book is full of twists and turns and I highly recommend reading the previous book for full appreciation of this one.
Our heroine is a profiler and in her small town there are yet more murders. Murders that once again somehow seem to link with her half sister and draw her further into her web. Our monosyllabic hero (if you can call him that as this book doesn’t have the romance as the main focus) is also drawn into the murders and the two together race against the clock to stop the murders.
While I wish there was more romance I still love these books so I won’t complain.
I can’t wait to see where this series goes next.
I absolutely loved the setting of this book. The premise is great. For me, the characters were a bit flat. The hot lumberjack. The dutiful cop. They seemed a bit too on the nose with their descriptions. Add to that the pacing being a bit slower than I'm used to from Zanetti and this added up to a bit of a flop for me. It could have been that my expectations were sky high, because of my past experiences with her other works. If you are a fan of mid-level spice and fantastic atmospheric elements, you might just love this. It just didn't do it for me.
Always a thrilling read when Rebecca writes her romantic thrillers.
Rebecca's detail to storytelling is always in point. Her characters are written to either give goosebumps or spine tingling fear.
Either or, I'm down for it.
I have been provided with a review copy of You Can Hide from NetGalley for an impartial review. I was just drawn into this wonderful story and I just couldn’t get enough of it. It was just so easy to get lost in this great story. I just didn’t want it to end. I just lost myself in and I just couldn’t get enough of these interesting characters. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.
This is book 2 in a series but the first one I have read. It worked fine as a stand alone but obviously, it reveals what happened in book 1. I am still going to go back and read it though.
To start with I wasn’t sure how I felt about Laurel but she quickly grew on me. I really enjoy her relationship with Huck and seeing how they navigate their feelings. Huck is a lovable character and his dog is adorable. I’m also very intrigued by Abigail and seeing where the story will go next. I can’t wait for the next installment.
It was a bit slow to get going but once the pace picks up I couldn’t put it down. I had no idea who the killer was and I couldn’t even pin down any suspects. The scene setting is also beautifully done. Rebecca Zanetti is a new author to me but I’m now a huge fan and look forward to reading more.
I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
This is an amazing book!! It is so intriguing and really keeps you guessing all the way through which is fun for the reader. I can't get enough!! The characters are so deep and wonderful and I feel like we learn a bit more about them in each book which I really like in a series with ongoing main characters. I love how Laurel and Huck's relationship is going. It makes a lot of sense given their personalities and pasts.
I am so looking forward to the next book in the series and lots more of Laurel and Huck.
Once again another gripping psychological thriller from Rebecca Zanetti. I didn’t think I could like this book more than the first, but I was wrong. “You Can Hide” was fast-paced, gripping and full of twists. With each new chapter it made me question who I thought was the killer.
I can’t wait until the next book in the series comes out! I am really curious on where Laurel’s half-sister, Abigail, story will take us. She is one smart and cunning character.
I want to thank NetGalley, Rebecca Zanetti and Kensington Books, Zebra for the e-ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.
