You Can
Run by Rebecca Zanetti is a fast-paced suspense novel that will keep you on the
edge of your seat! The story centres around Laurel Snow an FBI Special Agent
and child prodigy who is a little quirky, finds it difficult to relate to
people and is brilliant at her job! When dead bodies are found in her hometown
of Genesis Valley, WA. She is called home to investigate. Back home under the
care of her anxious mother she meets Huck Rivers, a Fish and Wildlife Officer
who becomes part of the investigation, rather reluctantly. He also has his own
story and even though he is attracted to the quirky Laurel, he is careful to
set up boundaries…rather grumpily! Together they both must work against the
clock and others within the community to stop the killer before his kill list
gets bigger.
This was
a thrilling book with some great characters! Laurel is strong but also
vulnerable as she tries to relate to the people around her as well as decipher her
feelings about Huck. She has a lot of questioning thoughts throughout the story
which was relatable, and I loved that she had to keep wearing her mother’s
clothes (a light-hearted moment within the book). The chemistry between her and
Huck was great, and I enjoyed finding out more about the characters as the book
went on. Huck is gruff but with his background you understand why he is the way
he is. He also lives alone with his dog and seems to be a little bit ostracised
from the community he is in, even though he is brilliant at his job. As the
book moves along, he becomes more human, especially when it comes to how he
feels for Laurel and how he desperately wants to catch the killer!
The suspense
in this story was killer. I had no idea what we were going to get at the end. I
will say that Abigail Caine is pure crazy, and it will be interesting to see
where she ends up in future books as well as finding out other things she has
done for her narcissistic self.
Overall,
a brilliant, suspenseful book with a little bit of romance thrown in. This story
will definitely have you hooked from the first to the last page!
