Morgan is starting over, again…
Back in Tampa after two years in WITSEC, former detective Morgan Foster is trying desperately to adjust to her new life, when a new friend asks for her help.
Paul’s granddaughter, Katrina DeLuca, is in a coma. The doctors don’t know what to do for her and they are ready to take her off life support.
The doctors say Katrina tried to kill herself.
Paul doesn’t believe that for a second.
The local police – former colleagues of Morgan’s – think the cases are cold, that is, until the next body drops.
As Morgan tries to unravel the mystery, she has to face a past she’d rather forget. Can she figure out what happened to Katrina before someone else dies?

Number 2 in the Detective Morgan Foster Vigilante Justice Thriller series, Blister is an awesome story. It will stand-alone, but is so much richer in sequence with #1, West End Justice. Either way, it is an intriguing mystery, a family drama, and a sort-of-police procedural. In number 1, the Fosters experienced their first winter in the mountains of West Virginia and they were not pleased. When they went into witness protection with the US Marshall's service two years ago after Detective Morgan Foster testified in the trials of several members of the motorcycle gang who killed both her husband and her Tampa Police Department partner, they were rocky, grieving, and clueless.
In Blister, with the death of the biker who had put the price on her head, Morgan opts to leave witness protection and return to Tampa. And it is sweet, to have the surf and the sun and to use their own names again, see friends and family and try to make a life they are more comfortable with.
But all is not sweetness and light. Danny is a senior at Palm Coast High School and his female classmates are committing suicide. Or are they? Morgan, still unemployed, and her best pal Detective Amber D'Amico are pulled into an outside investigation when the third high school girl, the only one found alive, is admitted to the hospital pediatric intensive care unit in a coma, on life support, and again diagnosed as a drug overdose/possible attempted suicide. The first two girls are already buried, without autopsies ordered. Three or more suicides in a short period of time are termed a 'cluster' by the CDC. There is not a term for four or more - but Morgan and Amber call it 'serial killer'. Now they have to prove it.

I’m talking edge of your seat…
This second book in the Morgan Foster series had me clutching my Kindle in a white-knuckled death grip while I flipped pages as fast as I could read them. It is one of those stories that immediately grabs your imagination and firmly holds your attention until you have finished the very last page. In this story the former detective, Morgan Foster, and her son, Danny, have left witness protection and returned to Florida to try and cobble together some semblance of a normal life in the wake of devastating tragedy. A “normal life”, however, proves elusive when a string of deaths occurs in Danny’s high school. The deaths are initially suspected to be suicides but that conclusion soon proves to be false. Morgan may not be officially employed by the police department any longer but she and a former colleague, Detective Amber D’Amico, become a formidable team as they undertake the investigation of this rash of student fatalities. Nail-biting tension, great characters, and a horrifying premise combine to make this story a perfect “down time” indulgence. I read the first book in this series and I think it definitely adds to the experience but I do believe that you could absolutely enjoy this story on its own. Can’t wait for more!

Detective Morgan Foster and her son, Danny, is back in Tampa, Florida after their two years in West End, West Virginia, while in WITSEC. To find out how and why they left witness protection, you will need to read West End Justice, book 1 in this adrenaline fueled, page urning series. There isn’t a prequel to this series, but West End Justice gives enough backstory for the reader to understand what turned Detective Morgan Foster into the crusading vigilante detective that she has become.
Morgan's goal for herself and her upon returning to Tampa was to resume their old lives, but that wasn’t in the cards for them. That all ended when she agreed to help a friend find out what really happened to his granddaughter, who was in the hospital in a coma. Everyone said that she had tried to kill herself, but he knew she didn’t and asked Morgan's help in proving it. It didn’t matter that Morgan was no longer officially on the job, she took the case, and....Well, you’ll need to read Blister to find out what really happened to Katrina and a handful of other girls who were thought to have committed suicide.

Not sure this qualifies as an "edge of your seat" read as another review described it. Morgan Foster, previously Dectective Foster leaves witness protection after the threat is nullified. She heads for home, son in tow and finds a mystery of deaths classified as suicides, one of which is a friend's granddaughter. Something doesn't sit right and she investigates and pretty quickly the reader is let in on the perp- so we follow the story along with Morgan to the truth.
I much prefer my mysteries to be a surprise instead of knowing all along who it was.

Suspicions
A detective and her teenage son leave witness protection and return home to Florida. Conflicted about returning to the force Morgan begins to investigate the deaths of high school girls. Dismissed as suicides by the police the deaths trigger Morgan's suspicions. This will lead her to an unlikely killer and personal danger.
This was an engaging book though Morgan's nebulous status with the department was annoying and unbelievable. The killer was interesting though the drug company CEO was over the top. Overall a worthwhile read.

Morgan does not work with the Police but she sees herself involved in a strange case of high school girls who apparently committed suicide. One of these girls is her friend's granddaughter and he is adamant she was not suicidal. Morgan's PTSD flares as she finds no clues or leads and she also fears for her son, Jake, who she has involved in the investigation as the IT expert together with a friend. There's a lot of action and it shows how poor family interactions and lack of love may hinder one's personality. Good entertainment!

Scary thoughts
After reading this book, then comparing it to real life I have to wonder what is scarier. Exceedingly troubled teens or internet apps. Think it might be a tie. As for the series I like that Morgan is fighting for justice, skirting the proper but slow channels of police work and hopefully this series won't be cut short because of that. But I like where it's going.

Who and what is killing smart young women?
Morgan is no longer a officer of the law, however that doesn't stop het when the young female students in her son's school seem to be dying from an unknown drug over dose. A fast moving drama that will keep you staying up until you finish.

Slow Start!
This book started slowly but ended with a big bang! I loved Morgan and how she couldn't seem to leave the situation with the victims alone.
I wish I could find another author who Interests me, but I am off to the bookstore to search for more titles!!
A real page turner. Great for someone who doesn't want to fall asleep at night!

Outstanding!!!
I learned a lot about teen counseling, Florida weather, and never knew any brilliant people like Justin or Megan as mentioned in chapter 21. Life must be challenging for them. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

Awesome
This thriller was engaging with a deadline to catch the serial killer before it's too late to help the girls that have been dosed. Exciting story that kept me reading till the end.

good read
I liked this book by KJ, but it wasn’t as good as the first book in this series. I do love this series but I wonder why the heroines in her books have such emotional issues.

Hated the Lead Character
What a train wreck!!! I got so annoyed reading about her freaking out and falling apart..... Definitely not a strong lead character. I promise I won't read any more books with Morgan Foster as the lead character.

4.5 rounded down because it dragged a bit in the middle. Very exciting at the end!

Puzzling that 2 high school girls are dead ... Killers motivation a bit weak in this sad story of death. Purchased this item on October 12, 2023, from Amazon for free.

Why are there girls dying that attend the same high school as Danny? Some left notes, some didn't. Katrina, the granddaughter of a friend, left no note. There was nothing in her car, purse, or in her system so why is she in a coma? But there is something interesting on her computer, that is IF they can find a way to open the application. Danny and Brantley are working on the mysterious application. Later it is discovered only some girls from the high school have this application. What is the connection? Are they all doomed to die? I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I thought this was very interesting. Too many suicides has a name? That is just wrong. This is a wonderful suspenseful story with some twists. I need to go and read the first book. This was an interesting story that kept me engaged. I liked how the rules were bent, and how she was just looking to find justice. The characters were wonderful and the story flowed and was interesting. This is a great story.
