North Star K-9 Unit #3
Vanish: A North Star K-9 Unit Book 3
She reads surfaces. He reads threats. The dog reads them both.
When Harper Kessler's sister vanishes from a lake beach, she doesn't wait for answers. She walks into the Minneapolis ATF field office with evidence of something bigger—and ATF K-9 handler Declan Reed is about to discover she's right.
A credential trafficking pipeline. Stolen federal identities funneled to cartel operatives. And Emma isn't just missing—she's caught in the middle.
Declan's investigation into fraud collides with Harper's desperation to find her sister, and neither of them can afford to be wrong. His rescue husky Iris breaks protocol to trust her. His hand stops shaking when she's near. But they have ten days to dismantle a criminal operation run by a man named Webb, track down the fugitive Frazier, and answer the question that terrifies them
If they can't stop this pipeline in time, who else will disappear?
A taut, high-stakes investigation where competence is irresistible and trust is dangerous.

Confusing story structure
The paragraphs jumped around. For example The end of one sentence both characters are in an office building. The start of the next paragraph the female character is suddenly by herself in an apartment building. Some major findings in the investigation are even discovered they're treated like knowledge they all suddenly have. A K9 laying next to the female characters bed. Then suddenly laying next to the partners chair on a porch. Both characters mentioning not seeing each other. Lots of weird jumping around. Also the description of Vanish at the end of the previous book in the series is a completely different story and characters.

Not as good as 1st 2
I very much enjoyed the first 2 books in this series, Tracks and Hunt. Both were fast paced and hard to put down. Not only did this one seem to drag, but there was a big discrepancy near the end. Iris was with Harper and her sister Emma, then she is suddenly back with Declan. No explanation of how she got there, then when Declan goes to Emma's house, it says Iris has never been there. I found this book a disappointment after the first 2. Also, Iris is supposedly a Husky, but the picture on the front is a German Shepherd.

Book 3 in the North Star K9 Series. The story is good, solid and the plot is interesting. I liked the couple and enjoyed going on their HEA story. Sometimes this author goes into such detail about whatever the bad guys have planned it takes me a bit to catch up. However, this is a well written story, great characters and I definitely love the dog’s character.
Another hit for Kate Voss to add to this really great series.

Ok, you might enjoy this story.
Maybe I wasn't in the mood to read this book. The story line was great but it was how it was written that did not engage me like normal. It was boxy if that makes any sense. It didn't flow smooth like I like it love.
I'll try again when I am in a better mood.

I really enjoyed this book even though the characters were a bit different. They were very focused and showed little emotion but I connected with them anyway and would like a future peek into their lives.

Very slow for me
There was so much that felt unbelievable and the pace of the book was very slow.
Then, at the end the dog was at Emma’s and in the next chapter she was at the ranch. Where was the editor?

Too many issues. The author needs a better editor to address the continuity issues.

This book is well written, but so much of the subject matter felt just too dark and heavy for me. It does have a happy ending.
