Reading my first book in the Regan Merritt series. It has been amazing from page 1. I hate those mysteries that start off slow. Allison Brennan’d books always start with a bang. I read Seven Girls Gone previously. Did not see that ending coming.
I love every book I listen too
I can only do audible so it is a bit frustrating when I miss parts of a story line or when I can’t listen to all of the authors books written
My First Allison Brennan book, “You’ll Never Find Me”
I throughly enjoyed this book. I have read all of Luanne Rice books. I have been looking for a new mystery author. I believe I found one.
