About the Book:

Three Novellas from Bestselling Authors
In Dee Henderson's "Missing," a Wyoming sheriff is called to Chicago when his elderly mother goes missing. Paired with a savvy Chicago cop, the two realize her disappearance is no accident, and a race against the clock begins.

Dani Pettrey returns to Alaska with "Shadowed," introducing readers to the parents of her beloved McKenna clan. Adventure, romance, and danger collide when a young fisherman nets the body of an open-water swimming competitor who may actually be a possible Russian defector.

Lynette Eason's "Blackout" delivers the story of a woman once implicated in a robbery gone wrong. The loot has never been found--but her memory of that night has always been unreliable. Can she remember enough to find her way to safety when the true culprit comes after her?

 

My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Missing by Dee Henderson - I very quickly got invested wondering what happened to John's mother. I enjoyed how Sharon respected his training and his ability to separate his emotions in the moment to allow him to work with her while she was leading the search. I was frustrated with the mother near the end, but I understood her actions as things began to wrap up at the end. I enjoyed the interactions between Sharon and John.

Shadowed by Dani Pettrey - I wasn't a fan of this one. I am not a fan of Russian bad guys in books, so the storyline turned me off. I did like the characters of Ben and Libby and how honest they were with each other from their first meeting, but the romance was too instant for me.

Blackout by Lynette Eason - my favourite of the collection. I got invested in the happenings very quickly and wondered how the past connected to the current events. I did guess who the villain was, but I couldn't figure out their motive until it was explained. I liked that Chad and Macey were friends before the story began, so the development to more didn't feel rushed.
