While having not read the previous book in this series, I believe this was good as a standalone. Some brutal murders happen in the Pacific Northwest cause FBI agent Laurel Snow to become involved. Laurel is a great character and she and Huck have great chemistry. I'd like to read the others in the series to get more back story.

Another Laurel Snow in the books and this series just keeps pulling me in further. I wish I could just read the whole thing now! I HAVE to know what is going on with Abigail. She is legit crazy and You Can Kill she is up to her usual schemes trying to get close to Laurel. Abigail is by far the most fascinating character in this world but all the characters are delightful. I love Laurel and Huck together, just trying to figure life out one little step at a time. It can be easy to relate to Laurel’s feelings of awkwardness around others and what a difference having your circle of people around you can truly make. On the case this time, there are some familiar faces…particularly of the antagonist persuasion that really keep Laurel (and the reader) guessing throughout the whole book, trying to figure out what the heck is going on and what is going to happen next. I didn’t want to put this one down and I definitely didn’t want it to end. I already can’t wait for the next one!

Amazing! You Can Kill is the fourth book in the Laurel Snow series. Each book gets better. The dynamics between Laurel and Huck are off the charts. Huck is so supportive of Laurel and the sexual tension between them is off the charts. I don't want to give too much of the plot away. Let's just say a serial killer, a crazy half-sister, and Laurel's creepy father make for a nail-biting on-the-edge of the seat of your pants story. I could not put it down! I can't wait to read the next book in this awesome series. I received an arc copy for an honest review. Thank you Rebecca Zanetti, Netgally and Kensington Publishing. #YouCanKill #NetGalley

I loved the main character, FBI profiler Laurel Snow and her game warden husband Huck. The plotting was engaging and suspenseful. I started reading the series here as this was my first Rebecca Zanetti, and I will be going back to read the first three books. Thankfully, I don't think too much of the experience in the other books was spoiled by reading this one with the separate cases in each storyline. I highly recommend this book for fans of romantic crime thrillers.

This is part of a series, and while it can be read as a stand alone-I think it is better if read in order. I have read the others-so I may be a bit biased. I truly enjoy the characters-well except for Abigail-who we are supposed to not like and I really don't care for her character. Laurel and Huck are expecting a baby. But, very few know yet. As the bodies appear, the murders are providing scant evidence. It is becoming apparent that a Huck is being set up to take the blame. This one has Laurel stumped. She knows Abigail and Zeke Caine are involved but she can’t get the pieces to fall into place. This one had a slow start for me but overall I enjoyed it, and really liked the ending. Thank you to netgalley, the author and publisher. 3.5 stars

Laurel Snow continues to hunt down the bad guys, dodge her psych sister's constant involvement and treads into a relationship with Captain Huck Rivers.

The fourth installment of this series is awesome. I can't get enough of the story lines. I continue to adore Laurel in all of her brilliant quirkiness. She is such an amazing character. Huck is a fav as well. He loves Laurel just the way she is.

I never want this series to end!!

This is the fourth book in the Laurel Snow series. Laurel works for the FBI, and has a close relationship with Huck, who works as a Fish and Wildlife captain. Each book includes having to consider if Laurel's narcissistic father or homicidal genius sister are involved in the mystery - or both. In this book, Laurel is pregnant and Huck is nervous about Laurel possibly getting hurt. Both of them have dangerous jobs. .

This time, add in the serial killer from the previous book who has escaped from the hospital where he was being treated. This story kept me guessing until the very end as more bodies pile up, suspects are eliminated, and Laurel and Huck are also in danger.

I received an e-arc from Kensington Publishing/Zebra, and voluntarily read and reviewed it.

You Can Kill kept me on my toes I have so much love in my heart for Laurel and Huck, and they were taken through the wringer in this installment. It was fairly fast paced in most places, and between the tender moments they were able to have, danger was lurking everywhere!

A great book full of action and excitement. It constantly keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing. I love this series and hope to read more.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing/Zebra for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is part of a series, and while it can be read as a stand alone-I think it is better if read in order. I have read the others-so I may be a bit biased. I truly enjoy the characters-well except for Abigail-who we are supposed to not like and I really don't like her. So that shows some awesome writing skills. This one had a slow strt for me but overall I enjoyed it, and really liked the ending. 3.5 stars

I love this series! This installment was twisty and fabulous. I enjoyed reuniting with the characters and following their newest case. This was fast paced and full of suspense!

4.5 Stars. This series continues to be a page turner with every book cranking up the suspense. Laurel's family continues to be a thorn in everyone's side except this time her father is involved. Whew... and he's as bad as you thought. Laurel and Huck continue to build their relationship and with a baby on the way.. No spoilers but I'm cheering for Abigail dealing with a certain problem. Can't wait for the next.

Rebecca Zanetti can do no wrong as an author. She is a “Must Read” and I mean, “Read NOW”. I love this series. It has family dysfunction in spades, mystery, just enough romance to keep it even more interesting, and a the characters ooze chemistry.

Sometimes with a series, I worry that I’m going to have trouble finding the reader magic again…if I can’t remember it enough to read it without being lost. That does not happen with this series (or any of Zanetti’s books) because she is just. that. good.

Read this. Read the other books. You’ll thank me!

A pulse pounding game of cat and mouse that will leave you breathless.

Laurel Snow's first problem, having escaped from custody, serial killer Jason Abbott is on the loose again. Her second problem is the body found on the ice beside the river. When her two worlds collide, things start to get personal. Now its a race against time to find some answers.

Laurel will need all her all her wits about her as she goes head to head with her estranged father and her sociopathic sister.

The suspense is intense in this latest Laurel Snow thriller. Each turn of the page leads to another unwelcome surprise, barreling toward a harrowing ending that kept me on the edge of my seat. This latest entry in the Laurel Snow series is a fast moving rollercoaster of nerve wracking suspense and gut wrenching emotion. But to fully appreciate the anger, the vehemence, the rage and agitation, read the the first three Laurel Snow books before diving into to this adventure.

Once again Rebecca Zanetti has her readers on the edge of their seats as FBI Special Agent in Charge Laurel Snow works to get into the twisted mind of an sadistic killer in the fourth installment of the Laurel Snow Thriller series. With cleverly crafted twists and turns, and a fascinating red herring, the story has you guessing literally up until the final pages. This is another of Ms Zanetti’s books that you’d be hard pressed to put down until you’ve turned the final page.

This ARC book was complimentary…provided by NetGalley and the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I always like to preface my reviews from this series by saying that I am not generally interested in reading romance. No shade to people who do, it’s just not my cup of tea. When I first started reading this series, I had no idea it was romantic suspense. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the suspense aspect of it far outweighs the romance aspect, while still giving incredibly detailed relationships between the characters. It’s been really neat to see the relationship between Laurel and Huck develop. And although not everything in this book worked out the way we wanted it to, a lot of it did. Some things were so satisfying! If you’ve been following this series from the start, I can guarantee this book will answer at least a few of your prayers. It was such an engaging story and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I can only imagine what’s next for Laurel and Huck, but I’ll be there to read it when it happens!

Huge thanks to Kensington Publishing Zebra and NetGalley for sending me this ARC for review! All of my reviews are given honestly!

I CAN'T WAIT for the next book. Each of th we just keeps me wanting the next in the series!

I don't want to say much about it to not ruin it for anyone but I highly recommend this series. I need to know how it all plays out.

The fourth book in the Laurel Snow series, YOU CAN KILL, delivers another intriguing story but highlights some recurring strengths and weaknesses in the series as a whole. Each book features a standalone mystery while building on an overarching narrative involving Laurel’s estranged family: her manipulative half-sister, Abigail, and their toxic biological father, Pastor Zeke.
Individually, each book is engaging, thanks to its solid plotting and unique characters. Laurel and Huck stand out as multidimensional romantic leads, rather than interchangeable cut-outs too common in romance. However, the series struggles with its broader narrative arc. Abigail and Zeke are underdeveloped, leaving gaps in their motivations and behaviors that weaken the story’s overall logic. This lack of depth makes it harder for readers to connect with the stakes tied to these characters.

What sets YOU CAN KILL apart is the development of Laurel and Huck’s relationship. Their romance, which had previously felt like “will they/won’t they" cliche, has evolved into a stable partnership. Both characters, once doubtful of their ability to commit, now openly acknowledge their desire for a future together. This shift adds depth to their dynamic and balances the story’s darker elements without veering into melodrama.

Additionally, the central case once again hits close to home, raising personal stakes for both Laurel and Huck. This installment feels like it’s moving the series toward some ultimate resolution, which begs the question as to how many more books Zanetti has planned.

While the first book, YOU CAN RUN, remains the strongest due to its tightly woven plot and memorable antagonist, YOU CAN KILL holds its own with its strong pacing, compelling mystery, and strong character development. Despite its flaws, the series continues to be an intriguing mix of psychological tension and romance, and I look forward to seeing how the story unfolds.

Recommendation: 4 Stars
YOU CAN KILL is another strong installment in the series. Engaging and well-paced, it’s a satisfying read for both longtime fans and newcomers to Rebecca Zanetti’s work. I’m excited to see where Laurel, Huck, and the overarching story will go from here.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing | Zebra for providing this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

When the killings hit too close to home, it puts special FBI agent Laurel Snow on edge. Well as on edge as Laurel can get. Murderer is on the loose, and the bodies are starting to pile up. Each of the mysterious deaths can be tied to something of a past case of either Laurel or fish and wildlife captain Huck. With almost all of her team on the sidelines and Huck being pulled off the case and local reporter and podcaster stirring the pot so much that she brings attention to herself, Laurel is determined to get this case solved.

You Can Kill is the thrilling, page turning, newest installment of the Laurel Snow series. I feel we see Laurel, more vulnerable in this particular story than we have throughout the rest of the series. As the murders of the story hit very close to home, we see Laurel trying to protect those. She loves most while, still taking her job very seriously. As she feels, she knows who’s behind this particular set of crimes. There’s some around her that don’t want their secrets revealed. Laurel and Huck have a tremendous amount of growth within their relationship, and I love seeing how they are as a couple. Rebecca Zanetti has created a very intricate world within this series. Laurel is not your typical lead lady, but even with all of her quirks and intricacies she has been one of my favorite female characters.

YOU CAN KILL will have you on the edge of your seat as you do a bit of nail-biting as the danger comes closer and closer to an unexpected (or maybe it is expected) finale.
