Everywhere to Hide by Siri Mitchell



Title: Everywhere to Hide

Author: Siri Mitchell

Pages: 352

Year: 2020

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Format: eBook (also available in paperback)

Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, through NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.


About the book:


     How does a woman protect herself from an enemy she can’t see?


     Law school graduate Whitney Garrison is a survivor. She admirable deals with her mother’s death, mounting student debt, dwindling job opportunities, an abusive boyfriend, and a rare neurological condition that prevents her from recognizing human faces.


     But witnessing a murder might be the crisis she can’t overcome.


     The killer has every advantage. Though Whitney saw him, she has no idea what he looks like. He knows where she lives and works. He anticipates her every move. Worst of all, he’s hiding in plain sight and believes she has information he needs. Information worth killing for. Again.


     As the hunter drives his prey into a net of terror and international intrigue, Whitney’s only ally, Detective Leo Baroni, is taken off the case. Stripped of all semblance of safety, Whitney must suspect everyone and trust no one—and fight to come out alive.


My review:


     This is an incredible romantic suspense novel!


     The idea that the witness to the murder couldn’t recognize faces terrified me. I can’t even imagine how frightening that was for her. The author did an amazing job of describing her fear. I really liked both Whitney and Leo. The fact that Whitney was able to trust Leo to help her and protect her was wonderful.


     The plot of the story was great. It kept me guessing right up to the end about who the murderer was. There were lots of people that were suspects at least for a short time. The fact that the witness couldn’t give the police a description made the whole process much more difficult.


     I was fascinated by the information that was included about face blindness and the problems that people with this condition deal with. A lot of the information included about cryptocurrency completely confused me. 


     I’m giving this marvelous book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.

State of Lies by Siri Mitchell


 







Title: State of Lies

Author: Siri Mitchell

Pages: 368

Year: 2019

Genre: Domestic Suspense (official) / Psychological Thriller (mine)

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Format: eBook (also available in paperback)

Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, through NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.


About the book:


     One woman is forced to question everything she knows in this domestic suspense novel from award-winning author Siri Mitchell.


     Georgie Brennan may be a world-class quantum physicist, but she grapples with life as a single mother after her husband is killed. When she receives a message from beyond the grave, it leads her to question the details of her husband’s death.


     As she follows the clues he left behind, her discoveries increasingly implicate those closest to her. When her father is nominated as the new United States Secretary of Defense, she must uncover the truth before his confirmation hearing—even as the same people who killed her husband are now after her. Nothing is as it seems. Lies are truth; enemies are friends. Even her child is at risk. As every possibility but one disappears, Georgie may find herself to be the antithesis of everything she’s thought herself to be.


My review:


     A masterfully written domestic suspense novel!


     I love the main character! Georgia Brennan is totally bombarded with heart stopping, terrifying information. I don’t know how she managed to hold it all together. As the story progresses and each tidbit is revealed it only brings up more questions about what is true, and who can be trusted.


     I was completely sucked in and stayed up way later than I should have for two nights in a row. I don’t know how much of this book should be considered suspense and how much is psychological thriller. It is completely filled with incredibly well crafted twists and turns.


     I have to give this wonderful book at least a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
