LOVED it!!! I absolutely love the Bree Taggert Series and the books never disappoint. So many twists and turns, surprises around every corner. I couldn't put this book down. Bree, Kayla and Luke have come so far since Erin's death. It's hard to believe how much crime takes place where they live. The murder rate must be pretty high in Grey's Hollow. I still love Vader. He's constantly plotting on how to get hairballs inside Matt's boots. Claire arrives home from work to discover both of her parents dead in their bed. Her whole life is about to change. There were so many secrets surrounding the Masons. I'm sure there were numerous people who wanted to kill them. I had no idea who could be behind everything. Naturally, Liam was on the top of my suspect list. Then there was Simon. He was simply scary and extremely mentally ill. I was shocked when the truth about everything was finally revealed. I did not see any of it coming, especially who ended up being involved. I can't forget about all the exotic animals. Mountain lion fur and wolf pups. Do these people not realize these animals are dangerous? Did the drunk guy really see an alligator swimming in the lake? Not only does Bree need to hunt down killers, now she's on the lookout for alligators. I felt like the ending might have been missing something, especially pertaining to Claire. Was she telling the truth about everything. I'm glad Chunk ended up in a loving home.

Definitely recommend the book and all the previous ones in the series. I can't wait to see what's next for Bree and Matt. I definitely see a wedding and a baby in the future. Maybe there will be a new K-9 on the police force with Greta. Loved the characters, story and writing style. Look forward to reading more books by the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Montlake through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Melinda Leigh did it again. I'm a sucker for her books, especially the Bree Taggert series. Book 10 was just as thrilling & I was hooked from page 1. I really like these characters, Bree, Matt & the kids. The supporting characters really add to the series, and it was nice to see a different side to Madeline Jager. The ending was great, I liked the twist, and the cougar! Having the cougar loose added to the excitement of tracking down Denver. I was worried about the cougar at each flip of the page.

Well done!

I really enjoyed going along with Sheriff Bree to find the killers! Along with Matt and a very talented K-9, they searched for answers. Protecting Claire, the daughter of the couple who was murdered, became quite a challenge. I was very surprised to find out who the killer was! I love this series!!!

Crimes involving children have been a weak spot for Sheriff Bree Taggert based on her own experiences. So when a 17 year old girl loses both her parents in a horrific murder, Bree and her team work tirelessly to solve the crime.

I enjoyed this story. There are a couple of side stories woven in to keep things interesting and keep the reader guessing. Bree and her boyfriend/investigator work well together both personally and professionally, they really have each other’s backs. I also like that Bree is a great leader and her team respects her. Looking forward to the next book in this series!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

This is such a great series. I love Bree and her family and how much they've all grown together. I didn't realise I had missed a book, a collab with Kendra Elliot, that introduced a new character but it didn't take away from the story. She's a great addition and I look forward to getting to know her more. There are so many great characters. As with all of Melinda's books, there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked and I definitely hadn't guessed the end.

The ninth Bree Taggert mystery starts with an alligator sighting which is quite unusual for upstate New York. Bree dismisses it since the man who reported it had a bit too much alcohol, but a previous case did involve trafficking exotic animals.

The main case in this one is the murder of two people in their beds which was discovered by their daughter Claire Mason, a schoolmate of Bree's nephew. As Bree, Matt, and her deputies investigate, they soon learn that the Masons were leading a secret life. Instead of being lawyers, they were scammers who made a good living by bilking small amounts of money from numerous people.

But the real bombshell comes when it is learned that Claire is not their daughter. She was kidnapped at a five-year-old complete with prints on file. And it looks like someone is targeting Claire for some reason. Then, more secrets are discovered including the source of the alligator.

This was another exciting entry into the Bree Taggert series.

Loved this book! This book started me back in to ready romantic suspense. I immediately download several others written by the author.

Once again Melinda Leigh can do no wrong - I devoured this latest installment. Brought up questions about what makes a family and what is someone willing to do to make their family whole.

Another fast-paced story that builds to a climax, inciting more suspense with each twist. Just when you think there couldn’t be more, another twist hits you. It's a domino effect, one incident triggering ongoing impacts until it reaches a gruesome crescendo, 12years in the making.

In the latest book in this series, the crime hits close to home for Sheriff Bree Taggart when a teenager discovers the bodies of her parents.

All the beloved key characters feature prominently, and we get to know more about the new recruit, Renata Zucco. Is there a potential new romance on the horizon?

Fans of the series won't be disappointed!

So many secrets. Bree has to keep an open mind while investigating a double homicide that leaves a teen an orphan. The secrets uncovered will shock even Bree. This entry into the series is a twisted series of curious events that lead to a shocking finale. A fantastic addition to the series.

Claire Mason arrives home from work one night to find her parents murdered in their bed. Sheriff Bree Taggart begins the investigation and is determined to keep Claire and the rest of the town safe and find the murderer. When someone attempts to abduct Claire from the park and the lives of murdered couple come under scrutiny, the police soon realize there were a lot of lies and deception and the sheriff's list of suspects expand.

This was a really easy-to-read murder mystery. With only 315 pages, I was pleasantly surprised how many twists and turns the plot took and kept me guessing about the killer up until the very end. The characters were fun and made me want to go read the other Bree Taggart books to get to know the origin of their backstories.

*** I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ***

What a story, it had my heart rate going with its intense intrigue and thrilling factor. It was a race that I didn’t expect the outcome, although, I had my suspicion. Melinda Leigh never fails to entertain. Bree and Max got hoodwinked, I never thought I would see that happen, but they prevailed.

This is another enjoyable chapter in the Bree Taggert Series! Reading these books has become like visiting with old friends, and we enjoy seeing the characters grow and develop. This one had two twists I didn't see coming, one with a returning character and the other in the story. 4.5 stars

I received an ARC for free and gave my honest opinion voluntarily.

I absolutely love Melinda Leigh's books. They keep you in suspense until the very end. The characters in this series are so relatable especially if you are in a law enforcement family. Highly recommend her entire series of books.

This book was addictive. As a fan of this series, I had a really good time with this one. We continue on this journey with Bree as she works to solve a crime that affects one of her nephews classmates. This story has so many twists and turns and kept me on my toes constantly. I never wanted to put this book down, but when I did, I was counting down the moments until I could pick it back up. I loved the addition to the main cast of characters and how they contributed to the story as a whole. I highly recommend reading this series if you have not already started it.

Another amazing read in my top favorite series!

I am not really a fan of book series but Melinda Leigh, via Bree Taggert, has pulled me in and keeps me coming back for more. I am always fascinated by the storyline and the journey to solve the mystery. And I never win at the guessing game because this author always throws in a twist or two that I didn’t see coming. When you add in the creation of characters that feel real, think real, and act real, which Bree, Matt and their family and cohorts do, I’m not going anywhere.

'Track Her Down' is another great addition to the Bree Taggert series that keeps you hooked from the beginning. Melinda Leigh does a great job of building tension, although some of the plot twists are a bit predictable if you're familiar with her work, but the story is still engaging. The characters have emotional depth, which makes it a good read. If you like action and drama, this one's worth checking out.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy.

It’s no secret that I love Melinda Leigh’s Bree Taggert series. I will always jump at the chance to read the next book early, and I’m so glad I caught this one. It was another great addition to the series.

Bree and Matt are on the case of a double homicide with a litany of plausible suspects. Oh, and there are also reports of number of exotic animals popping up around town to keep things interesting. It’s a race against time again for Bree and her team to find their killer before someone else gets caught in the crossfire. Full of twists and turns and feeling like no one can be trusted, the team works together — and gets some assists from an unlikely source — to take down the threat.

The book kept me guessing as usual and entertained on the ride. I can’t share the part that I couldn’t fully get behind without it being a spoiler, but overall this was another hit for Melinda Leigh.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Claire comes home from her job to find her parents brutally killed in their bed. Inspecting the house, Sheriff Bree Taggert and her partner find go bags in the attic. Claire appears to have no friends or relatives so placing her in a foster home is necessary until someone is chasing her and she needs protection also. Great characters and lots of twists and turns which make for a wonderful and suspenseful story.

A big thank you to Net Galley for sending me an arc of this story. I always enjoy reading about Bree Taggert, her adopted family, her boyfriend, her helpful deputies and a good dollop of suspense.

I am not sure why this story did not grab me from the get-go. Or keep me on the edge of my chair as I read it. I had to wait until the end to discover the motive, but I knew the killer once the person was introduced.

I was hoping for more between Bree and K-9 handler Matt Flynn, but their relationship just puttered along. It seemed as though Dana, Kayla and Luke were placed on the back burner. And the actual crime was just strange.

I hope this is a problem with me and when I revisit Bree in future stories, the pacing and action will be back to normal.

Barely 3 stars.
