Series:
Hudson Sibling Solutions (Book 1)
To save her missing sister
They'll confront a nightmare past…
A mysterious family tree. A man thought long dead. Dahlia
Easton has few solid clues to find her sister, missing for a year. But she's in
danger the moment she reaches Wyoming's backcountry. To protect her, cold case
investigator Grant Hudson must confront his town's unresolved nightmares --
even as an unspeakable threat from the past is fast closing in to silence him
and Dahlia for good…
Terrific start to the series. The Hudson siblings started
their cold case investigation firm, motivated by the disappearance of their
parents without a trace. Each of the six siblings takes turns when a new case
comes in while running the family's successful ranch.
Dahlia came to Wyoming in search of her missing sister,
Rose. She has few solid clues, but what she does have leads her to believe that
Rose is nearby. She meets with Grant Hudson, who promises to investigate but refuses
to believe Dahlia's conclusions.
Grant is still adjusting to being home after his years in
the military. His experiences changed him, and the memories created a distance
between himself and others. Even though he believes Rose won't be found
, he
promises to do his best.
The twists and turns of this case kept me hooked from
start to finish. I ached for Grant as a nightmare from the distant past is
resurrected, and he is forced to face painful memories. Dhalia's determination
to follow her instincts puts her in the crosshairs of a dangerous cult. Finding
Rose creates further complications. I was on the edge of my seat during the
final confrontation as Grant and Dahlia fought for their lives and Rose's. The
resolution was intense and satisfying. I do wonder if there will be any more
about the Hudson's parents' disappearance and if it is somehow linked to the
cult.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Grant
and Dahlia. There is antagonism in the beginning, as Dahlia's belief in cult
involvement butts up against Grant's insistence that it no longer exists. But underneath
the antagonism are sparks of attraction that cannot be denied. Grant is
surprised by the extreme protectiveness he feels for Dahlia and tries to
explain it away. Dahlia, who is usually very independent and self-sufficient,
is unexpectedly willing to lean on Grant for support. I liked seeing the trust
develop between them and seeing them share their fears and pasts. I liked the
ending and seeing them look toward a future together.
I liked getting to know the other Hudson siblings and can't wait to read their stories.
