I love this series, and thought No living Soul was a good addition. I wish that the Lexi books were released more frequently, but I understand why it takes time to bring a quality book to readers.

Each story builds amazing relationships where readers become invested. in each character. There are some hilarious moments in the first chapters, before another adventure starts brewing. When it comes to personal or emotional feelings she is still on a very steep learning curve! You have to love her. And then there is her boyfriend Slash who is mysterious, capable in love with Lexi and also has to learn to open up and given in to his emotions.

Personally for me when authors create a series by book 9 the stories are the same and the characters are turning in circles. Not with Julie Moffett the Lexi Carmichael series keeps moving forward expanding the world Julie Moffett has created and I can't get enough of this series. Each story builds amazing relationships where readers become invested. They cry when the characters cry, they cheer where characters cheer and they laugh at all the hi-jinks Lexi gets into.
No Living Soul had me laughing out loud.
I can't wait for the next in the series.
Thank you Netgalley for giving me the chance to find and read this amazing series.

This is a great book; this is the ninth book in the Lexi Carmichael Mystery series written by Julie Moffett. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

This series is still going strong, book 9 now and it continues to be a model of consistency in terms of how much I enjoy each one. I know I sing Lexi’s praises in each book but she is quite refreshing. Yep she’s socially clueless (and sometimes some of these moments are a bit OTT) but she’s so competent at her job that I really enjoy that whole aspect of it. She has great intuition and she rarely needs help. She’s no damsel in distress.

The books alternate action close to home with ones that are set overseas and this is one of the latter with much of the action taking place in Egypt. Apart from a bit of skepticism about Slash getting the okay from his FBI minders to even do this trip (Egypt is not exactly described as the safest of foreign locations for tourists, let alone ones that the American government like to keep their eye on) I was able to sink into this story pretty easily. I found the introduction of the Zimmerman twins’ father really interesting as there’s still quite a lot we don’t know about them, despite both of them being so close to Lexi. Particularly Elvis, who plays rather a large role in this story.

Her relationship with Slash continues to evolve (the two are about to begin living together) and although Lexi has a couple of moments of insecurity in Egypt she kind of still just gets on with things instead of allowing it to dictate her every thought and action. The thing with these two is there’s still a lot of delayed communication which can be a bit frustrating and Lexi has a tendency to kind of jump the gun and think the worse, probably because this is her first real proper relationship. There are times when she is bluntly honest with Slash and yet other times she sits on things when getting them out into the open would’ve been much better.

I find these books just really easy…..something that I can pick up and know that I’ll enjoy it, find the story something that holds my interest. I can also go back and reread most of them, which I’ve done several times to relive the evolution of her relationship with Slash which has been a really fun ride. He’s the one that I’ve liked the best from the 2nd or 3rd book.

Bring on book 10.
