About this listen

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot.

When an eleven-year-old is abducted on her way to school, the FBI doesn’t waste a moment, sending agents to scour the area and embedding Special Agent Ava McLane with the distraught family. In the eye of the storm is local detective Mason Callahan, whose life is crumbling to pieces - he’s related to the victim, and his longtime confidential informant has just been murdered.

Both he and Agent McLane hole up in the victim’s family home. Every second counts in a kidnapping case, and the stakes keep rising the longer the girl is missing. As Ava and Mason struggle to hold the family together in their darkest hour, the two investigators find themselves drawn to each other.

good story

Both of these narrators are good on their own, but it doesn't work together. They have different voices for the same characters and they don't match. Each swap over just annoys.

dual narrators don't work

I love listening to Kendra's work especially when it is combined with Amy and Nick's narration.

I enjoy the mix of thrilling suspense and red hot romance.

The story is an intelligent thriller with a flawed but lovable hero and one hell of a strong female lead.

I thoroughly recommend this book to readers who love a good mystery with a side helping of steamy romance. I'm off to listen to book two.

Mason Callahan, a Detective with the Oregon State Police, is working with the FBI’s Special Agent Ava McLane in a chilling case of child abduction. The child in question is the step daughter of Mason’s ex wife. It was very interesting to learn how the FBI react to and treat child abduction. It’s given top priority and their CARD (Child Abduction Rapid Deployment) Team are immediately sent out to assist the local police force with their expertise in this most emotional and terrifying crime.

Running alongside and interwoven is the brutal murder of Josie, Mason’s confidential informant. Those two combined factors make this mystery/thriller lean more towards the psychological and as Mason’s life quickly spirals out of control he realises someone has it in for him…but he doesn’t know who or why.

Mason and Ava are both dedicated and committed to their respective jobs and I like that their personal story doesn’t overshadow and take over the main focus of the story. There’s quite a large cast of characters who are all given enough consideration to make them real and substantial. Mason and Ava have depth and the character development is so good, it’s impossible not to like, and be drawn to, them. Mason intrigued me with his cowboy hat and boots and the emotions he kept in well in check.

'Under that ‘by the book’ cowboy was a gentleman with a big heart'

The suspense and tensions are played out skillfully, an intricate, involved and very conceivable storyline kept me absorbed and entertained throughout. The writing expresses perfectly the drama, sadness and feelings of utter helplessness and the emotional content is powerful. The past and present are interwoven culminating in a tense and moving finale. I couldn’t help but be a little sorry for the culprit and his sad life.

A solid, well researched story. I look forward to Mason Callahan #2

So this series has crossover characters from the BONES SECRETS series and although there is a romantic element this is a plot-driven book. A young girl is abd*cted and Agent Ava McLane is sent in to help with searching for her. Mason Callahan is a local detective and the girl who’s missing is part of his wider family. He’s suddenly sucked into this and did not see this outcome as being where things would go for his family.

This is a fast-paced story with action, intrigue, flashbacks, family dynamics, tension, and all the things that make for a thrilling read. I loved delving into the ins and outs of the investigation. It was interesting that Callahan was suddenly on the other side of things and we really felt how torn he was through Nick’s performance. Detective versus Family Member. I love Amy’s work and she hits that fine line for Ava between professional and human so well. We feel Ava’s frustrations and her attraction to Callahan.

Once again Kendra pulls a twist out of the bag. I had a hint from the bits of the book that were from the abductor’s POV but I definitely didn’t guess it all.

This is a great start to what is sure to be another fantastic series.

This one is intense.
