Jayne Ann Krentz has been an insta-read for me for MANY years, and this newest addition did not disappoint! It was fun, had delightful banter, an angsty hero, and a fun finale to the mystery of our podcast trio's lost night!

I definitely recommend this book to any mystery fan. I can be read as a stand-alone, but it's so much more enjoyable if you've read the other two in the trilogy, and even more so if you've read the Fogg Lake trilogy as well!

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy!

Shattering dawn is an absolute blast of a read! It mixes suspense and romance in the most engaging way. The writing shines with engaging dialogue and a captivating plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The mystery is the main focus, but the lighter moments and the unique quirks of the characters add a fun layer to the story. Overall, this was fun. I would eagerly be anticipating the next instalment.

This is the third book in the Lost Night Files series about three woman who were strangers and woke up strapped to gurneys at the Lucent Springs Hotel in the middle of an earthquake and fire with no memory of how they got there! The three women started a podcast about their lost night called The Lost Night Files. It has romance, suspense and psychic powers and I think this is my favorite book in the series!

Amelia Rivers is being stalked and is afraid someone is trying to kidnap her and so she calls Gideon Sweetwater, a private investigator, to discover who is after her. Gideon is recovering from a gunshot wound in his leg that he got on his last case when he gets Amelia’s call. He is intrigued by her case and together they come up with suspects and new clues. The suspects include her ex-therapist who has been trying to meet up with her, a podcast fan or someone related to her lost night at the hotel.

This felt more lighthearted than some of Krentz’s other books. Amelia loves photography (one of her psychic talents) but it’s hard for her to have a steady income with it and there’s humor around that. Gideon has a psychic talent as an investor, so he is very wealthy. He can also induce nightmares. He has an elder uncle that shows up to help with the case who is quirky in a fun way. There’s even a sweet side to one of the villains.

This story’s main focus is on the mystery and I would have loved a little more romance, maybe a date that’s not totally focused on their mystery. But I enjoyed both Amelia and Gideon and I hope we get to see Phoebe’s story next! Thank you to Jayne Ann Krentz, Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC of the book.

What a great third book. I hope it continues even if they solved the original storyline. I love how she always has a yin and yang for her couples. Once I started it I could not put it down.
