I've enjoyed this series so much, especially being able to watch Evelyn and Amarok's relationship grow with each one. Once I start, I'm typically on the edge of my seat until the end and devour it all one day.

I question my own sanity however, whenever I find myself enjoying the villain POV. In this case, it was delightfully disturbing to hear his thoughts, and there were points in the story where I would've thrown the book, but thankfully I was listening to the audiobook.

There are some graphic points in this story, but from someone that's squeamish, it wasn't too much for my taste. The entire story revolves around Evelyn being abducted by someone from her past. I was surprised to find myself liking one of the villains, so that speaks highly to the authors writing.

Definitely read the books in this series in order! While this could be read as a stand alone, there are spoilers for events and characters from previous stories, so read at your own risk.

Another intense and nerve-wracking installment in the Evelyn Talbot series is in my hands, and I devoured it in hours. Amarok races as against time itself, to save the woman he loves and their unborn child from unknown horrors, with no leads and an unforgiving country with unlimited hiding places. Pushing himself beyond exhaustion and defeatism he does everything in his power to find her. Evelyn has never been one to go down without a fight, especially to protect her unborn daughter, so thata exactly what she does. She watches, and waits, determined to save herself, though things have never seemed scarier and time is definitely of the essence. When she discovers who truly is behind her abduction, she takes matters into her own hands, terrified of a fate worse than death could ever be. Will their love make them stronger as one does everything in her power to stay alive and the other breaks every rule he has to find her? You do not want to miss the latest installment!

description

Blind Spot is a fast-paced and very suspenseful addition to The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles. It picks up directly where the previous book left off, and the race against the clock starts. Evelyn is kidnapped and Amarok doesn't know where to start with his search. This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The author did an incredible job in making the reader feel the urgency of the situation. The multiple POVs was great and told the story from different perspectives, including the villains, and it added an extra layer to the story. I always love to get a insight into the minds of these psychopaths. It was interesting that Jasper added important insights in regards to the kidnapping case. I was intrigued by why he was inserting himself in the situation, so I was glad that his POV was included in this book as well.

Evelyn has grown so much in this series, and you can really see the growth in this book. She has come a long way, and she is a very strong woman that will fight 'til the end. She doesn't give up and will do anything to save her unborn child and herself. There were a couple of incidents that could've moved the case along faster, but it felt like not everyone was working very well together. In my opinion it sometimes took them too long to figure things out, which annoyed me a bit. I also missed seeing Evelyn and Amarok together. I really love their dynamic so I felt disappointed when I didn't get the opportunity to see a lot of them together. Hopefully, we will get more of that in the next book. Blind Spot was overall a great addition to this series, and I am still very invested in the characters, including the bad guys. This book added some extra insight into the interaction between prisoners at the Hanover House.

As good as the others.

While my gripe stays, that she fills too many pages with backstory... I still enjoyed the novel. Some of the instances made me roll my eyes, but I am aware that this was only a story. If you like suspense. Give it a go.

❤️ this series

Hard to put down this book once I started reading it because I wanted to know what was going to happen. On the other hand, tried to read slowly so the series would not end.

The entire series was masterful in the writing, plot and characters. I spent a lot of reading time on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was happening.

The characters are so real that I will miss them as I begin "Hanover House" withdrawal.

I highly recommend this book series and have learned a lot.
