REVIEW: “Being on the run had taught Annie a great deal about perspective. And mercy. The kindness of strangers. Everyone had problems. Some people were just better equipped to handle them.” Protecting her boys while staying one step ahead of her psycho ex-husband pushed Annie to her limits. Even though Hank’s smile hid his broken soul, it was the bright spot of Annie’s day. Smiles turned to touches, which turned to flames between them. A wonderful story of survival, danger, and love.

"I received this book from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily reviewed this book and this is my honest review."

Out of the mist is a well written fast paced action thriller with an element of romance. It is the first book from Lauren Giordano that I have read but it will definitely not be my last. I really enjoyed the suspenseful storyline which fluctuates between mystery and romance. The characters are well developed making it easy to make a connection with them. You will find yourself hoping Matt will solve the case, prove Juliet innocent and keep her safe. But will digging further into the case prove her innocent or cast more of a shadow of doubt on her innocence?

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.… (mehr)
