J.D. Robb discussion

Our buddy read continues with the 5th & last book in the Bone Secrets Series - Known.

After a brutal snowstorm in the Cascade Mountains, Chris Jacobs discovers two things he never expected to see: the charred shell of a cabin, and Gianna Trask and her sixteen-year-old daughter huddled in an SUV, having barely escaped from their burning vacation rental.

Still scarred from a childhood ordeal, Chris knows there’s something sinister about the scene—it’s the stench of burned flesh.

Forced to wait out the blizzard in their rescuer’s retreat, medical examiner Gianna Trask wonders if her hidden past has finally caught up with her. When a body is found in the destroyed cabin’s ashes and a forest ranger is brutally murdered, both Gianna and Chris must confront their secrets if they want to escape the violent threat lurking outside.

In the fifth book in the Bone Secrets series, Kendra Elliot leads readers on a dangerous, twisting journey of two lives forever changed by a fiery snowstorm in the mountains.

I'm in for sure!

I am in

I love this series, can't wait.

Looking forward to this one!

I finished! Anyone else ready to discuss?

I'm still here Sandra.. but I haven't read it yet. I'll probably get to it next week.

I just finished too. I'm ready to discuss.

You guys go ahead and discuss. I'll join in next week when I've read it.

almost done will join in discussion when finished

takes me a while to remember the characters that were from all the other books

Well this one is sure twisted! lol Honestly, I felt like it was a bit over-the-top, but that's just me. To those of you who are finished, what did you think? What did you like? Not like?

I did like getting Chris's story. I thought he was an interesting character and I always love seeing a reclusive character pulled out of his/her shell.

I was kinda disappointed because we had heard Chris's story in Buried and I don't feel that there was much added to it in this book. This story did show that he still had struggles, but he was healing and his relationship with Gianna showed he was moving on with his life.

I was sorry there was no Mason in this one. I missed him.

I agree, Anita. My main purpose in reading this series was to get more Mason. No appearance in this one. But...we're moving forward to Vanished and that means more Mason! :)

I enjoyed meeting Chris again and seeing how he was adjusting.
Also getting glimpses of others we knew like Michael and Lacy was fun. I was completely surprised about the one big reveal but we pretty much knew who was behind the attacks - with one additional twist. I am enjoying this series a lot and hope the next one everyone is looking forward to is as great.

I read Vanished several year ago, actually, after I had read all the other books in that series! It's a great book. I kinda read Kendra Elliot all out of order. So I'm getting it in the right order this time around.

I've read it too and loved it. Been looking forward to moving ahead with the C&M series!

I read and enjoyed this book. A 4-star read for me.

Glad you enjoyed it, Charlene. I'm looking forward to moving ahead with Vanished (Callahan & McLane book 1). :)

Finally finished this one and agree with all that you have been saying. I gave it a 3.5, I didn't mind it and was glad that Chris/Daniel was able to have a HEA with a woman who seemed a good fit. But the mystery/storyline wasn't my favourite in the series.

Yes, bring on more Mason Callahan.

That's how I felt. Now I'm ready for more Mason! :)
