Willow Grace FBI Thriller #2
Condition of Grace
Amy Carter, a devoted volunteer at a local homeless shelter, vanishes into thin air. The Seattle Police Department spearheads the search for the missing woman, unearthing chilling evidence that suggests a sinister abduction. Amy's father, the mastermind behind Axon Integrated Solutions—a multi-billion-dollar titan responsible for groundbreaking pharmaceutical advancements—finds his company's latest game-changing addiction recovery breakthrough imperiled by the terrifying ordeal. The FBI is called into action, with Agent Paxton Holt at the helm of the investigation.
As a harrowing ransom video surfaces, Holt turns to the one woman he's come to trust—a woman whose staggering intellect is steeped in years of scholarly research and sharpened by personal experience. Willow Grace, the enigmatic Professor of Psychology at Conifer College in the Pacific Northwest, is enlisted to help Holt decipher Amy's cryptic message and unearth the vital clue that could lead them to her.
Defying Holt's counsel, Amy's father capitulates to the kidnappers' demands. But when the exchange goes disastrously awry, Holt and his local detective ally are thrust back to square one. Willow must rejoin the pursuit, tapping into her unparalleled expertise in captor conditioning techniques to unravel the sinister grip on Amy's psyche. Their chilling discoveries expose the dire threat looming over Amy, and the race to rescue her intensifies.
As Willow and Holt unravel the twisted investigation, they realize the stakes are higher than ever imagined. Uncovering the truth behind Amy's disappearance could lay bare a devastating secret that some are willing to kill to protect. In their relentless quest for justice, Willow and Holt must navigate the treacherous maze of deception and intrigue while evading the lethal dangers lurking around every turn.
In this pulse-pounding sequel in the Willow Grace series, fans and newcomers alike will be captivated by the relentless suspense and hair-raising twists. Delving into the dark recesses of the human mind, Conditioning emerges as a perilous weapon—deadly in the hands of a cunning adversary. Willow's uncanny abilities make her an invaluable asset, but also paint a target on her back.
Embark on the second electrifying adventure with Willow Grace and FBI Agent Paxton Holt as they navigate the labyrinth of the mind, all the while dodging the brutal reality of the perils that lie in wait. This heart-stopping thriller is the perfect fix for enthusiasts of Mary Stone, Lisa Regan, Elle Gray, and AJ Rivers.

Abrupt ending left me hanging
I expected more at the end. I can't explain without spoiling but it was rather abrupt and ends at 90%. I like this series and the story was fine. Its about brain washing and Stockholm syndrome and I somehow missed,when that happened. It seemed to me she just got the truth right about her Father but I don't know. Carl is a dichotomy and I felt sorry for him believe it or not. Maybe I have it. Lol. Also there is a story coming about the young man who wanted the heroine. I can feel it. And I don't trust Malcolm.

Good story but it is so short- read on KU
This us a good story, but there isn't much mystery and the story is so short. I like the characters, except for Malcolm, who I assume will become an issue at some point.
There were inconsistencies between this book and the first book that were minor but still noticeable and a little annoying. There is also one inside the book that is similar. At one point, she says she has to teach a class the next afternoon. Later, she says it is in the morning.

Can't wait to read book 3
Willow Grace, teacher, ex cult member, FBI consultant, and psychologist. Where do her talents end? I hope to see her relationship with FBI agent Holt continue to grow.

A terrific series
This was an intense and heartbreaking story that will hook you from beginning to end. In line with the old cliché, there are good people who can do bad things as well as bad people who can do good things, it really makes it difficult to understand when you can sympathize with those who have done wrong for the right reasons. It's certainly not a story to be missed.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and author.

Good Story
The story itself is very interesting but you are kept in the dark to long.
I read the second book just to find out what happened to her. She repeatedly tells how paranoid she is but no clue why.
Just to much of the same information repeated.
