3 1/2 stars

Glad I didn’t read this right when it came out, with that ending lol. But have the next 2 books already so know the outcome is not too bad. Starting book 15 now. Cause no way I can put it off. Have to find out what the heck happened and is going on.

I liked this book. I like all of them. But have to say I like it when the team was going after the normal run of the mill killers. Too many Ukrainian villains to remember from past books to keep track of for me.

But keep writing cause I will never tire of reading about Miranda and Parker.

Wow

Would give this series. 10 star if I could.

This series needs to be read in order for the full impact. Even as a stand alone Predator was amazing.

Mackenzie falls for an online guy that turns out to be an evil man.... the Boston man . Parker,Miranda and the team head to Boston to find Mackenzie. Miranda is very emotional since Mackenzie is Miranda’s daughter. The man from Boston has been the one behind the child slave trade, the mind bending drugs, the Russian Warriors that has been involved with many of Parker and Miranda s past cases. The Boston Man has been the mastermind and the time has come to lure the PI,s in and destroy them. How better than with Miranda’s daughter.

Suspenseful, fast moving and keeps you on the edge of your seat! What a story! Enjoy!

So intense can't wait to read the next one!!

This is my second time reading this and it was still intense . I'll admit the first time I read it i had tears running down my face I just couldn't take it. Is that silly or am I so invested in it i could feel the loss from the team? Then I read a little further and felt relief but still heartbroken over how they were grieving . I'm eager to start the next one!

Waiting for the new book

Never have I ever read an entire series in one week! I started with Miranda’s rights and got sucked into the magical world of Miranda and Parker! Lindsey is no doubt one of the best story weavers of our time! Waiting for the next book with baited breath! How is Miranda going to get Parker and catch the elusive MIB.... love love LOVE this series

I can't believe this ending!!!

Really!!!! After faithfully following you through ALL these books, you leave its like this???Parker is alive, but when will we know that in a book?? Too many unanswered questions and no "next book" to answer them??? Bad bad writing practice. I leave you after all this time. Disappointed and heart heavy. Shame on you!!!!

The team needs time to recover!

Great read. Parker and Steele are at it again. Full boar ahead to recover Steele's daughter. Getting the FBI to assist helps but Santana has too much pull. Steele is wounded, Parker is presumed dead. Steele is to take over the Agency. Next book is going to be interesting.

This is a great book. It was sooo hard to put down and get some work done. Each chapter left you looking forward to the next one. When I finished the book I wanted to start Number 15 like yesterday.

Santana's Strategy

This story has really taken a toll. Is Parker dead? How is Miranda going to handle the Agency? She lives and breathes Parker. Reading this episode has been heartwrenching.

Review of Predator

Iwas in shock at the end.But as usual you added that last few paragraphs.You really know how to amp up a person's blood pressure. You are truly an exceptional writer. Please write more books about these two. I know that you have it in you. Love your books.

No words for how I feel after reading this ending. So many emotion throughout from the first page to the last. Good thing I started this series late in the game so I can jump right into the next book. Linsey Lanier writes such terrific stories I get so caught up in the cases and loose so much sleep. Thankfully I'm retired and the only thing impacted is my husband lol.

No words.

This was the most nerve-wracking Parker and Miranda book yet. I want to know how any of the people will survive. Will Wesson and Simon get back together? Will Parker make it? Will Miranda be able to survive without Parker?

Crazy turns and twists

This series is getting really hard to think through. As soon as I finish these "too-close-to-ugly-reality" functions, I'm going to need funny, belly laughing fiction!

Predator

I can't believe this is the last book in the series and the way it ended. This has been a ten star series and I hope you put an ending to this series . Hopefully soon.

Predator

Not sure if Santana even knows who Parker is but I'm sure he doesn't care, but he will. Miranda will seek revenge
