The Search
Eve Duncan #3
by Iris Johansen
Genre: Mystery
My Review
I’ve been reading and loving Iris Johansen’s Eve Duncan series for years. I was excited for Sarah to have her own story, since I met her in a previous book and loved the bond between her and her dog, Monty.
This book is all about bonds. The tight bond between Sarah and Monty, her K-9 Search and Rescue dog. They seem to be able to read each other’s minds. It’s fun how the author conveys their thoughts.
The bond between Sarah and Logan. It starts as enemies. Then turns to friends. And then maybe to lovers. I hoped so. They are so much alike.
The bond between Monty and a wolf called Maggie. Sarah and Monty rescue a wolf caught in a trap. Monty quickly falls for the female. It could be tough as wolves mate for life and she’ll heal and go back to the wilderness. Monty thinks she’s beautiful. Maggie says she’ll eat you up. Another fun thought portrayal from Johansen.
There’s also a bond between Maggie and Logan’s go to guy, Galen. I could see it. Both are wild, unpredictable with a softness hidden behind that gruff exterior.
And the bond between Logan and Rudzak, the man hell bent on making all of them disappear from the planet. It goes back many years. Rudzak’s revenge is maniacal and he’ll keep setting his deadly traps until the bond is finally severed forever.
This isn’t my first time reading this book and won’t be my last. It’s so good and I love these characters.

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – He strikes without warning. He kills without mercy. He’s only just begun.
As part of an elite K-9 search and rescue team, Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, have a gift for finding what no one else can. But their latest assignment is not like the others. This time Sarah is being forced to take part in a deadly mission . . . by a man who knows enough about her past to ensure her cooperation.
Billionaire John Logan’s top-secret venture has been sabotaged, its facilities destroyed, and its handpicked staff massacred. The sole survivor is being held for ransom. Logan knows that the only way to save the man–and the secrets he holds–is to find him as soon as possible.
Sarah is furious when she is strong-armed into joining Logan on his search. And once she takes the perilous assignment, not even Logan’s promises that she and Monty will be safe may be enough to protect them. Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance . . . and he may soon find use for Sarah.

Paranormal Cozy Mystery
7th in Series
Publisher: Camel Press (August 11, 2020)
Number of Pages 211 pages

A Jane Doe jogger homicide near the swamp mystifies Dreamwalker Baxley Powell. The petite woman carried no ID, and no one recognizes her. Worse, a shadow passes from the body to a deputy, rendering him unconscious. The deputy and the corpse are dispatched to the hospital and morgue, respectively.
With summer heat and pending childbirth on her mind, Baxley’s dreamwalks into the spirit world fail to yield leads, frustrating Baxley and her deputy husband, Native American Sam Mayes. Days later, Jane Doe’s description matches a missing Mississippi woman. Turns out, her new husband is missing too. Jane’s sketchy brother-in-law and her aunt arrive, full of secrets. At Jane’s campsite, the team encounters a terrifying anomaly, nullifying Baxley’s senses. With such danger present, they must protect their unborn child. No more dreamwalks will occur until Baxley gives birth.
When her friend Bubba Paxton vanishes, Baxley sights him in a mirror, trapped between worlds with other souls.
Meanwhile, the shadow invades other hosts, demanding to see Baxley. Mayes and Baxley ignore the shadow as they rescue Bubba, untangle the Jane Doe case, and handle missing persons reports.
To free the trapped people, Baxley must outwit a powerful foe. Can she stop this super villain before he steals her soul?
In this 7th Dreamwalker Mystery, female sleuth and psychic crime consultant Baxley Powell works a homicide case that leads straight to an evil force in the spirit world. The stakes? Her soul, her unborn child, and humanity’s freedom.

In The Blue Hour
by Elizabeth Hall
Genre: Mystery / Thriller
From page 56 in the paperback.
My mother gave them to me when I was fifteen. I didn’t want them, and she knew it. Back then, all I wanted was to get away from her, to get away from cards and readings and all that crazy spirit stuff. I hated it, growing up with all that. I wanted to get away from spirits and messages and the never-ending line of people with questions about the future, questions about the departed. But she put them in my hands and told me to save them – that there would come a day when I would need those cards to survive.

Synopsis
From the bestselling author of Miramont’s Ghost. Can a grieving widow unravel a message from the spirit world?
Elise Brooks dreams of a car accident on an icy road. Weeks later, her beloved husband, Michael, is killed in just such a crash. Now, overcome with grief and uncertainty, Elise believes his spirit may be following her in the form of a raven, trying to tell her something from beyond the grave.
Desperate to understand the signs, Elise embraces both the Native American wisdom she grew up with and the world of psychics and seers. So when a tarot-card reader suggests she take a journey to the mysterious address found in Michael’s old jacket, she embarks on a cross-country trek to follow the clues.
Accompanied by Tom Dugan, an engineer, and scientist who does not believe in psychics, mediums, or the hoodoo “conjure woman” they encounter on the road, Elise navigates the rituals and omens of the spirit world in an attempt to unravel the mystery of her husband’s message.

.
What started out as a promising relationship with adventurer and tycoon Alec Zavos has fizzled into an uncertain future for antiquities expert Annalisse Drury.

About the Author
Candace Carrabus writes from the Lincoln County, Missouri farm she shares with her husband and daughter. A scoliosis diagnosis at age 11 changed her life. A horse lover from a young age, she signed up for riding lessons and learned much more than posting trot. With quiet power, horses provided comfort and a sympathetic ear, never judging or poking fun at her cumbersome back brace. Those years, though often difficult, taught Candace the value of persistence, the healing power of believing in oneself, and how strength can be gained through kindness. Her stories are imbued with the irresistible wonder, mystery, and solace her equine friends have provided.
