5 Big Stars for You Can Run ( A Laurel Snow Thriller#1) by Rebecca Zanetti

 

Suspense, danger, romance, and family drama converge as a rising star profiler strives to stay one step ahead of the criminal mind—and discovers that her own demons may be the hardest to outrun…
 
Laurel Snow wouldn’t call hunting a serial killer a vacation, but with a pile of dead bodies unearthed near her Genesis Valley, WA, hometown, she’ll take what she can get. Yet something about this case stirs her in unexpected ways. Like the startling connection she feels to Dr. Abigail Caine, a fiercely intelligent witness with a disturbing knack for making Laurel feel like she has something on her. Then there’s Laurel’s attraction to Huck Rivers, the fish and wildlife officer guiding her to the crime scene—and into the wilderness…

A former soldier and a trained sniper, Huck’s thirst for blood is rivaled only by his fierce pursuit of Laurel. He’s been burned by love, wounded by the government, and betrayed before, and to say he has trust issues is the ultimate understatement. Plus, he might be closer to this killer than anybody knows…

Once in the heart of darkness with Huck, Laurel must negotiate her distracting desire for him, her complex rapport with Abigail—and her mission to find a serial killer among a growing list of suspects and a danger that’s far too close to home. So close in fact, Laurel fears she will never find her way back to the woman she once was…

“Rebecca Zanetti takes you on a thrill-ride, pitting characters you love against impossible odds.” New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan

 What I thought about You Can Run

Wow! What a ride!  It's been a long time since story had me this engaged and will definitely be on my best of 2022 list. I was hooked right into this story from the opening pages.

FBI Special Agent Laurel Snow is an expert profiler.  When her mother asks her to come home because her uncle is under suspicion of terrible crimes, Laurel finds herself right in the middle of a active serial killer investigation that brings new revelations in her personal life. More about that in a minute.

Huck Rivers wants to live a solitary life as a expert guide and wilderness rescue.  He's not big on peopling but when Laurel comes to town and needs his help to find the serial killer, he is intrigued with the special agent.  There's a whole lot of spark between these two and I especially liked how the relationship between these two developed.  It seemed like things were going in the right direction by the end of this book, so I'm hoping there will be more of Laurel and Huck in future books.  They really leap from the pages when they are working on the case together.

I loved Laurel's journey to understanding more about herself. The creepy Dr. Craine was an interesting part of the story that left other loose ends needing resolutions. I'm not sure if I want to see her again, but I like that all of the characters had a big impact on this reader. 

 So overall, I found everything to be perfect -- the story, the pacing, the characters, the way the it kept me guessing until the very end -- and I can't wait for more.  This is my first title I've read from this author and I am hooked.  I want more Laurel Snow!
