Meh. Nothing stuck out to me 😂

Lettura veloce e abbastanza piacevole, solamente non mi sembra che i cattivi siano puniti come meritano e questo mi ha deluso un po'.

Exciting start to the new series. The story is told with a mix of current action and flashbacks to flesh out the history of the unfolding events. I started reading and couldn't put it down until I finished.
Zach is a relative newcomer to Eagle Mountain. Four years earlier, his sister was murdered, and his grief caused him to lose focus for a while. Since arriving in town, he has had a steady job with the mining company and volunteers with the Search and Rescue group. As the book opens, he and the others are on a call to evacuate some campers caught in a flood. When they find the body of a dead woman, Zach is stunned to discover it is the sister he thought was dead.
Shelby is an FBI agent who was one of Camille's contacts. Camille was in WITSEC after she witnessed a murder, but it wasn't enough to convict the perps. Camille disappeared from her new life, and Shelby was looking for her. Shelby believes Camille was looking for Zach to warn him about something, but she doesn't know what.
The suspense of the story kept me glued to the pages. Zach doesn't believe he is in danger, while Shelby is sure he knows something that puts a target on his back. I liked the persistence she showed in getting him to open up. The twists of their investigation kept me wondering who was behind it. The final confrontation took me by surprise and wasn't what I expected.
I enjoyed watching the relationship develop between Zach and Shelby. The sparks were there from the start, but Zach's grief and anger over Camille's death overrode them initially. The more time they spent together, the more they connected. I loved seeing them together and how Shelby helped Zach through his grief. There are some obstacles, including Shelby's job, but the biggest one comes at the end. That was a twist I didn't see coming.

Zach has had a rough life. Losing two sisters.
It turns out one of his sisters that he thought had been dead for four years was not til her body is found where he is doing a search and rescue mission.
What happens next is a whirlwind ride. I had to keep turning the pages to see what happened next. A good book. I had not read Cindi Myers for a while but she made me remember why I loved reading her books.

This is the start of another Eagle Mountain series. Since I enjoyed the previous series, I assumed this one would be just as good. It was ok but not great. I didn’t think there was much chemistry between Zach and Shelby. I also thought it was strange that Zach wasn’t taking Shelby’s warning seriously. The story was ok and I wasn’t exactly sure who the bad guy was so bonus points for that. I still plan on reading the rest of the series.

Murdered now, not then.
In the Colorado mountains, search and rescue team member Zach Gregory assists in a campground evacuation. All goes well until they find a fatality—his sister who was murdered four years previous.
Ms. Myers packs action into this romantic suspense. Information of the justice system and witness protection program is sprinkled among mountain rescue and attraction between Zach and Special Agent Shelby Dryden who is sent to investigate who killed his sister at the campground.

This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the first book in the Eagle Mountain: Criminal History series. This book pulled me into the story from the first page. There was action and suspense from the beginning to the end. This is a fast paced action packed suspenseful with a little romance read which I really enjoyed. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Good listen. Could see it coming but not as intensely as it did.

Quick easy read. The mystery was not easy to figure out; I really didn't know who did it. I did not enjoy when the story jumped to the past though.

This author never disappoints. I love how she puts the mystery into her books.
