Enjoying the series so far. Part of me is wondering how big Bridgettes arm is and that perhaps I’ve envisioned her tattoo on the wrong scale seeing as she’s got space for so many words inside a ring? Lol. Either way. In one of my other reviews for a previous book in the series, I mentioned that Bridgette needed a holiday. This is not what I meant ! 😂 lol. Roll on the next book!

Thrilling and enjoyable
A great series, hoping more will be added continuing Bridgette detective work and her life. Dying to know if she and Levi get together.

Awful..
I've read the first four books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed them. By the fourth one it was getting a little predictable but just a chapter or two in on this one you could see everything that was going to unfold. I found myself saying out loud of course that's what happened. Because of what the bad guy and the good guy did you could see the whole thing play out. I tried to struggle through and got halfway through but was just so disappointed.
If authors are going to do a series of books they need to not just crank them out, they should be developing the characters better in each book so that we feel like we know them and we get a broader look than what we already know about them. Same with a bad guys, when one carries over from the book before in this book is just same old same old.

Book 5 was a good read of this series. I enjoyed the plot and characters in this book. We saw the continuation of a storyline and we saw Bridgette really start to relax before everything happened. I enjoyed the descriptions of the island where she was staying. Monica and Amy were interesting characters who were so brave under the circumstances they found themselves in. We saw Bridgette go through more than ever before but I was so happy to see everything come to a conclusion. I loved seeing Bridgette and Levi really partnering up and trusting each other, working together to get stuff done and saving each other. I’m excited to see what’s next for Bridgette.

Out in the Cold delivers a tense and engaging mystery that keeps you hooked from the beginning. The story builds steadily, drawing you deeper into its chilling atmosphere. There’s a sense of isolation and quiet suspense that runs throughout, making the narrative feel more intense. Trevor Douglas does a great job balancing plot progression with mood, creating a read that’s both gripping and immersive.

Yuck
Stop at book 4. This book should not have been written. Trevor Douglas should have made book 4 150 pages longer and and put in the ending he did in book 5. Book 5 is a waist of time period.

A little bit Cape Fear meets Patriot Games. For me this second part when on a bit too long. Still enjoyable but perhaps the weakest of those to date.

Another good detective thriller from the author, but not quite to the same standard as he previous 4 books, IMO.

This was a very disappointing book. I was reading the series in sequence, and really enjoying it. But the quality of writing in this one was mediocre at best. Many phrases were used repeatedly, and it was very noticeable. I couldn't even finish reading it.

Good suspense. A few plot inconsistencies, but easily overlooked.
