I was very lucky to get an ARC of this book, Thank you, Netgalley! Honestly, this series is perfection. It had me hooked from page 1. No surprise really, every book that Rebecca writes is an instant 5 stars for me. I consider myself to be her 1 fan....Fan girling aside, this book was fast paced, and had me on the edge of my seat up until the end. I almost screamed and repeatedly said oh fuck oh fuck.... ask my mum. Anyway, I highly hugly recommend this series and book. Cant wait to see what happens to the gang next!!!

This series keeps getting better & better. Laurel and Huck team up to solve multiple murders, while trying to keep a safe distance from Laurel’s half-sister, Abigail, a dangerous sociopath and her narcissistic egomaniac father.

Laurel & Huck's chemistry continues to grow and at the same time Abigail obsession with forming a relationship with Laurel grows scarier & scarier.

I could not put this book down & now have to wait for the next installment. If you like dark, psycho thrillers this series is for you.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

How can Laurel possibly remain this good when half of her family tree is…not? Oh, that’s right. The other half more than makes up for it. And this time around, she’s getting closer to truths that truly don’t want to be told. In the process, someone or something is getting closer to permanently changing how Laurel and Huck move forward in their relationship and life in general. Add in someone who is far too…obsessed? Intent? Completely cracked? I’m not sure. But that person is determined to be Laurel’s best and only support.

I honestly can’t believe the twists this author whips us through in getting to the heart of the danger and the mystery, but I loved every second of it. Laurel and Huck are on the right track, but they’re also in danger. They’re so close, but so far. And once it all comes crashing down, I’m left wanting so much more right now. Is a certain agent finally realizing he’s been duped? Is an opportunistic mean girl going to quit trying to destroy someone just to get ahead? And when do I get more?

I really can’t wait because I’m sure whatever comes next, it’ll be just as tipsy turvy in the danger and mystery departments as this one was!

Murders and twists and turns, oh my! I loved every single moment in this newest installment of this amazing and thrilling series. Laurel Snow and Huck Rivers are quite the couple. She is brilliant and he has all the street smarts as well as being a swoony protective boyfriend. I love them together so much! And they make a great team working together as do their FBI and Fish & Wildlife teams. But trouble sure has its way of surrounding them. Things get quite dicey for Huck in this one but Laurel knows and trusts him so her faith in him never waivers. As always her sister Abigail’s behavior is very disturbing maybe even more than usual, and now their father Zeke is back and boy is he your typical narcissistic egomaniac. Regardless of them, I truly enjoyed this book so much! I am pretty sure there will be more since this one seems to end but not really. I look forward to more of Laurel and Huck!

This book will make you sleep with the lights on! Our beloved FBI Laurel Snow and Fish and Wildlife Office Huck Rivers find themselves in a fight for their lives trying to catch a killer or is it killers? This story is face paced and will keep you guessing til the end.

I can't get enough of this series, I simply enjoy everything about it. The chemistry between Lauren and Huck and how well he completely gets her quirks. The way she drives into a murder and completely pulls it apart step by step makes the story even more interesting. Even the how the friends and family all play into it make build even more. Great thriller until the very end and hope we get more to come.

I keep saying this series needs to end, and I thought this would be the final book. Zanetti has a way of keeping readers enticed, so I stuck with it.

However, how often do we need to know that spring is late in coming (I stopped counting) or that Agent Walter Smudgeon had lost weight? (He went on vacation, otherwise, it would have probably been mentioned at least a half-dozen times more.

But, back to the story. This was a page-turner and if not for the fact that she's dragged this series too long it would likely be my favorite of the books. And though this book "ends" she's left it open for another installment, which I now hope will happen. Nothing infuriates me more than reading a book or series left open-ended. Now, I'm hoping there will be a fifth (and final) installment.

I love this series. The characters are so good and vivid in her writing I can picture them in my head like a movie as I read.

Laurel and Huck have to protect each from people trying hurt them from all directions. Are they up to the task or will they fail?

Five stars for the newest Laurel Snow book! You Can Kill has everything you want in a romantic thriller. Intrigue and mystery, twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the book. It was nicely balanced with the strong chemistry and growing relationship between FBI Agent Laurel Snow and her beau, Captain Huck Rivers, Fish and Wildlife. They are surrounded by so many characters during their investigation, it becomes hard to distinguish friend from foe. For a while things do not look good for either one of them. Rebecca Zanetti always delivers, wrapping up loose ends and providing an unexpected resolution to the investigation.

This is the fourth book in an excellent romantic thriller series and I’d recommend reading the first three books in the series first.

Book 4 does not disappoint. Lauren and shuck make a great team. Even better are a few of the twists. Fast paced; could t put it down. Can’t wait for book 5.

Another stellar addition to the Laura Snow series! These characters are so fascinating to me and I honestly could read this series over and over...which I already have. Laurel is such a unique character and I love everything about her. Huck is the grumpy, protective, alpha hero that I also absolutely love. When he starts accepting his love for Laurel, he's a pretty swoon worthy hero. Laurel's sister and father are majorly disturbing and part of why I'm fascinated with what's going on in this series. I loved it and I want more!

I love this series , i think i have mentioned before I like to get HEA for a couple in each book but this series is so good and each book their relationship makes progress .
The mystery in this book is interesting because you are not sure if there are 1 or 2 killers .
The relationship between Laurel and her sister is becoming interesting and I am looking forward to the end of the series to see how Ms zanetti resolves it

Another amazing story in the Laurel Snow series. I love these characters so much and I always look forward to sending a whole day with them. Just when you think things might settle down a little bit for Huck and Laurel they don’t. It seems like their little small town is the hub for evil people. While they are trying to solve more murders, things start to happen that will finally give some hope for the future. There will be a great loss but also a chance for healing. I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first read in the series. But I was still able to easily follow the story and the characters.

I love a good police procedural with a great whodunnit and well developed characters. Laurel and Huck were great together. They really complimented one another.

I also enjoyed the side characters as well. I look forward to reading the other books in the series.

I’ve read several of this series and Ms. Zanetti is favorite of mine for weaving suspense and romance into propulsive thrillers. The frigid temps in the Pacific Northwest are foreign to this Texan and I enjoy the different setting. FBI Special Agent Laurel Snow has family drama that makes TV reality shows seem tame. There’s Abigail, Laurel’s crazy, ruthless half sister. She’s dating another member of the FBI which complicates an already volatile family dynamic. Then there’s the father, Zeke, a pastor whose past is very suspicious and ungodlike. Her Mom is the only reliable thing in Laurel’s world other than the deepening relationship with Huck. He’s with Fish and Wildlife, has a great dog and their cases can overlap. The diabolic, evil forces surrounding Laurel collide in this plot with emotional and devastating consequences. The body count escalates as a killer hits very close to home. It was another case that had me scrambling for clues and guessing possibilities. I can’t wait to see what happens next with Laurel and Huck.

Love the FBI Laurel Snow series and the fourth book did not disappoint! As Fish and Rescue Captain Huck Rivers and Agent Snow work hard to solve crimes, it is one chilling experience after another. Fast paced and plenty of twists and turns to keep you engrossed! Definitely a 5 Star!

Absolutely fantasic it had so many twists and turns in the storyline that it kept you guessing the whole time. The story had you playing the guessing game with some of the new characters that were introduced in this book and I enjoyed the characters from the previous books, the characters are strong, smart, and some of them very calculating which makes for a good story and I honestly love Huck and Laurels relationship it is evolving and changing all through the series I love it. Definitely worth the read I'm looking forward to the next book.

Laurel Snow #4 – This is one of my favorite series. Zanetti has really built her three main characters, (Laurel, Huck and Abigail) that you want to find out what they have been up to every time you pick up a new book. Zanetti has really built a wonderful villain in Abigail, Laurel’s half-sister, and in each book, Abigail gets more twisted and eviler. This series has plenty of suspense, twists and romance and much more. I read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Since Laurel arrived in Genesis Valley, Washington there have been more serial killers working in the area. Laurel is an FBI Special Agent who works alongside her boyfriend, Huck Rivers, who is a Wildlife Captain. Jason Abbot, the Witch Creek Killer, has escaped from the hospital and has threaten both Laurel and Abigail because they were the ones to catch him. Laurel now racing against the clock to find Jason before he starts to kill again. I highly recommend this series which gets better and better with each book. Thank you, Netgalley and Mass Market Paperback for providing me with an advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

FBI Special Agent Laurel Snow and Captain Huck Rivers of Fish and Wildlife are once again deep in the thick of a series of gruesome murders that seem to haunt this small rural Washington town. Laura has already had to deal with several personal issues including her super creepy sociopath half-sister who seems obsessed with her and a narcissistic, seriously evil father, Zeke Caine.

The first target and subsequent women who become victims have ties to Laurel and her family. To complicate matters, Laurel and Huck are still working a case from a previous serial killer who may also be back in action. There is no shortage of suspects with Laurel’s crazy family in the mix. And a further complication is Laurel’s early-stage pregnancy which she would like to keep secret as long as possible.

Someone has targeted Laurel’s associates at work as well so she must keep protecting them along with other family while she and Huck try to solve the crime before more people pay the ultimate price. Huck is involved in more than a professional way as well besides his relationship with Laurel and their unborn child.

Laurel can barely catch a break between late season snow and rain storms, victims continually popping up, office staff in danger, and her own changing biology. As the fourth book in the Laurel Snow series, readers will know what to expect from her high intellect and problem-solving capabilities at work for the FBI. That this case skews to the highly personal makes everything more intense.

While I enjoy this series quite a bit and look forward to the next installment, it is beginning to seem a somewhat bizarre that so many evil murderers and nutjobs live in this very rustic area of Washington State. This story in particular, because of the familial connections to Laurel, has even more heart wrenching elements so readers be warned. Ms. Zanetti is taking her fans through an angst ridden hard ride with this book.
