Decent story with questionable plot choices

Overall, I like this series. The main characters are developing and growing.

But why would Birdie not involve the police, the FBI? Why do they always forget that they are carrying weapons? If they are taking self-defense classes and are as good as they are supposedly are in the little training scene with Dominic why didn’t they use any of those defense moves when black lantern was attempting to kidnap them in the park?

Some of these plot choices make no sense .

the search for Birdie’s sister grinds on

An anonymous hand delivered letter intimates that Birdie’s sister might be in a small town not far away.

Birdie’s investigation takes her - and Maisey - into danger.

A roller-coaster of a story!

This story has all the things that make it a fantastic read. Lots of suspense and action, all the happy/sad/funny stuff, and a bit of romance. I couldn't put it down till it was finished. We'll done! Looking forward to the next one...

This book is really, really good

It's different from the previous ones in the series. I think it is my favorite one. Because the books seem to get better and better, I'm looking forward to #5.

A continuation of the Serenity Springs mystery series. Birdie's sister is still missing. Birdie continues to search for her.

This book was an ARC that I received. This is my honest and unsolicited review.

Great

As much as you know Birdie will prevail, I was still on the edge of my seat. I'm looking forward to book 5, and am hoping to hear that Ada is okay!
