Review: You Can Hide (Laurel Snow #2) by Rebecca Zanetti

 

About the Book

What do you do when a sociopath loves you? Rising star FBI profiler Laurel Snow is about to find out …

Calling Laurel Snow’s relationship with her newly discovered half-sister challenging is an understatement. Not only does Laurel suspect Abigail is behind the mysterious disappearance of their father, but her erratic behavior also makes life in Laurel’s small hometown interesting, to say the least. Still, when Abigail claims someone is now out to kill her, Laurel’s instinct to protect her sister goes into overdrive. Then things get even more dicey as dead bodies start turning up in the icy waters of the Sauk River and there’s only one connection among them: Abigail . . .

Having Fish and Wildlife Captain Huck Rivers bringing in those bodies with his dive team only complicates matters. Huck is as impulsive and fiery as Laurel is coolly analytical, which makes their alliance risky at best. But standing up to such a demonically brilliant killer is going to take all the help Laurel can get. Because Laurel’s attempt to save her troubled sister’s life might cost her own . . .

My Thoughts

Wow! What an amazing sequel to the series! 

I was glued to my Kindle until the very end! You won’t believe what happens! Read the book today!

Laurel Snow is an FBI profiler assigned to her hometown in the Pacific Northwest because the FBI is thinking of putting an office there. But Laurel’s “special set of skills” is requested all over the country helping solve crimes and bringing killers to justice. How you say? Laurel is a child prodigy, graduated high school and college very young. Laurel also has a PhD and can get into the minds of psychopaths, narcissists, crazies and all kinds of weirdos. She’s very successful but sometimes wonders and worries if she isn’t also a psychopath herself because of her abilities and her lack of “appropriate” people skills. 

What Laurel really is, is a woman dedicated to her job and getting justice for the victims and their families. She often cares too much but uses logic and reasoning to ground and center herself. Laurel is a complex, multifaceted character and I love watching the dynamics change as she interacts with each and every individual. There’s no subterfuge with Laurel, she says exactly what she means and she means exactly what she says. How refreshing is that?

In You Can Hide, Laurel is barely back in town after consulting on an out-of-state case when there’s a body discovered. She’s working the case again with hunky Fish and Wildlife captain, Huck Rivers. They had a little friends-with-benefits action in the first book and have kept things professional ever since. Huck told Laurel he doesn’t want anything serious and neither does she. He is surprised that Laurel actually meant what she said so their working relationship isn’t awkward. Which is a good thing because it is going to take everything they have to solve the case. 

You Can Hide is a full-throttle ride of subterfuge, intrigue and a blow-your-mind mystery that will keep you up late at night! The suspense is palpable. The villain(s) is/are deliciously duplicitous. And the chemistry between Laurel and Huck is a slow-burning flame that will thoroughly consume you. Oh Captain, My Captain indeed!

I highly recommend the series!
