From the time I checked out the last paragraph in Amy Shojai’s debut thriller, lost as well as Found, I might not wait on a sequel. I was thrilled (pun intended) when Amy sent me a evaluation copy of hide as well as Seek, as well as I might not wait to get started – however I likewise understood from reading the very first book that I much better set aside a great chunk of uninterrupted time first, since I couldn’t put the very first one down when I started.
In this second book, animal behaviorist September Day, her pet dog shadow as well as feline Macy are trying to unravel a secret including a mysterious contagious health problem that impacts both family pets as well as humans, a truth TV show about wild pigs, as well as September’s dark past.
From the publisher:
Eight years ago, animal behaviorist September Day escaped a sadistic captor who left her ashamed, terrified, as well as having a hard time with PTSD. She trusts no one—except her feline Macy as well as service pet dog Shadow. shadow likewise struggles with trust. A German Shepherd autism service pet dog who rescued his kid partner only to lose his-boy forever, Shadow’s crippling concern of abandonment shakes his belief in humans.
They are each others’ only possibility to make it through the stalker’s vicious payback, however have only 24 hours to discover the reality about Macy’s mysterious health problem or pay the deadly consequences. When September learns to depend on again, as well as a good-dog takes a possibility on love, together they discover hope in the midst of despair–and find what household truly means.
The sequel lived as much as my expectations as well as then some – as well as not just since Macy the feline played a a lot more famous function in this book. While the story line is a bit darker than what I normally like to read, the story is so well-crafted as well as Shojai’s composing style such a pleasure to read, I still suggest this even to visitors who normally like a lighter fare.
The story covers some intense topics, including the frightening situation of contaminated meat triggering dementia or Alzheimer’s like symptoms in family pets as well as humans, as well as September’s struggle with trying to emerge from traumatic experiences in her past.
Shojai does a masterful task building the tension of the story, however it’s when she composes about the animals that she truly shines. parts of the book are written from Shadow’s point of view, as well as they’re so well done as well as vivid, I truly felt like I was seeing the world with the eyes of this dog. The passages about shadow as well as Macy showcase the author’s substantial understanding of animal habits as well as animal emotions. Macy the feline is all cat, as well as becomes a vital aspect to solving the secret as well as rescuing September out a precarious circumstance – however you’ll have to checked out the book to discover out more.
If you’re a fan of medical thrillers by the likes of Robin cook or Michael Palmer, you will absolutely like this book. If you take pleasure in a well-written secret featuring a great deal of animals, you will likewise like it. just don’t plan on choosing it up unless you have some additional complimentary time.
