[Michelle (Adventure in Bookland) · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Lane Chronicles is a box set of three small stories, that read as one full story.

Roxy's sister was involved in a hit and run, and she will do anything to bring the man who did it down. The detective on the case wants to help as much as he can but when the man responsible is someone of privilege, it may be harder than he though. It take all that he has to stop Roxy from going after the guy herself.

I thought these books would have a bit more of a mystery to them. I really enjoyed the concept of the book and thought that it had so much potential. I think it was missing something and I think that thing was the fact that because these stories are so short that it all felt a bit rushed. I wasn't able to connect to each character because of the length of the story.

I do however love the concept and was able to read the stories one after another, I never became bored while reading. Even though the Epilogue was perfect, I still want to know who the dragon is and what is going to happen Roxy and Nate now that they stuck their noses somewhere they shouldn't be.

I would recommend this book to any one who love a bit of suspense and mystery but to keep some of my comments in mind. Overall this was a great book.

This serial had a lot of promise, but I just couldn't connect with the characters at all.

Roxy's sister has been involved in a hit and run and she is determined to find and punish the asshole who did it. I did like Roxy and Zee and seeing what they were going to get into, however I just wish I could have felt more of a connection to Roxy. I will say the fact that all three books were able to be read in one setting was nice. Since each story ended abruptly. I really think it should have just been written as one book, not three.

Nate was an okay character. I felt at times that I was going to really like him but then something was lacking. I think it is because it was all maybe rushed. I still feel even with the Epilogue that there were a lot of unanswered questions.

All in all, it was a quick read with a little suspense. I think that had the book been developed a little more it would be a 4 star read for me. I just needed more depth and relationship building all around!
