❤️ 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.

Dr. Evelyn Talbot has met her match this time, and as much as Amarok tries, will it be enough? There’s only so much a body can take, and in her compromising condition, the future is a blur.
Love this series!
Love this series!

I loved the entire Evelyn Talbot series and liked the way it was all tied up.
If you like suspenseful romance than this is for you.

When I started reading this, I didn't realize Blind Spot was the fourth book in a series...
Regardless, the author did a great job with the backstory/flashbacks. I felt like I caught up quickly and understood the characters and what was going on. Blind Spot is an even paced book, which makes wanting to read it and reading it easy. There were parts where I was so into it, that I couldn't put the book down.
Now that I've finished reading the fourth book, I think I may go back and read the first three in this series. I enjoyed it that much.

I am really hoping this is not in fact the last in this series. You open this book with Evelyn having been kidnapped. She should be planning her wedding but instead she is trying to save her life. She doesn't know who took her or where she is. Amarok her fiance is desperate to find her, finding small clues that learn him on a wild chase to save her.
This was fast paced and leads you to so many possibilities. I feel like some of the story was wrapped up in the end but I still want to know more!!! Hopefully this can continue!

Dr. Evelyn Talbot, psychiatrist and founder of Hanover House, can finally breathe and live her life to the fullest. When Evelyn was sixteen, Jasper Moore kidnapped her and nearly killed her after viciously tormenting her. It has taken years, with Jasper close on her tail, and managing to finally grab her, but Jasper has finally been caught and is in prison. Although Evelyn works with the psychopaths who are in her facility, she finally feels safe. Evelyn is now engaged to Alaska State Trooper Amarok, and they are expecting their first child.
After heading home from work one day, Evelyn is kidnapped. Now that she is far along in her pregnancy, it is all Evelyn can do to stay alive and to keep her baby safe. Amarok is beside himself because it seems like Evelyn disappeared into thin air. Evelyn doesn't know who has taken her, and what his ultimate motive is. So, Evelyn does all she can to escape.
I have followed this series from the very first novella, Hanover House, and am just as impressed with this as I have been with every other book in this series. When I finished the last book, Face Off, I really felt that Evelyn and Amarok could lead normal lives.
When it comes to the kidnapper, prepare to be surprised. While this book could do okay s a standalone, this story, and what happens to Evelyn definitely ties back to a previous title. I think readers will be as pleased as I was if they were to read the entire series.
I really hope that this series continues, and just as as I read this book months ahead of the release date, no doubt I will do the very same thing again. Brenda Novak's books are not the type of books to sit on one's TBR for too long.
Many thanks to St. Martin's and to Edelweiss for this ARC to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

This series has a continuing story arc and I recommend you read the books in order for maximum enjoyment.
Who knew that after the end of the last book Evelyn would face more perils? With Jasper safely stashed away, I thought Dr. Evelyn Talbot, head psychiatrist at Hanover House, the maximum security prison in Alaska, could finally relax and devote her time to researching serial killers at this facility she designed and developed for this purpose. When she’s abducted as she arrives home (this is disclosed in the opening pages), it’s not only a question of why but by whom. She’s six-months along in her high risk pregnancy and preparing to marry Sergeant Benjamin (Amarok) Murphy in a few days. No one knows where she is and Amarok races against the clock to try to find and save her.
At first, I was disappointed to learn Evelyn was abducted once again but this story soon took on different dimensions from the past. It took a minute to figure out the who, then the how and finally if some very bad things would happen before she was found (even that wasn’t guaranteed). We got several points of view throughout the book, which really made this even more interesting. I opted for the audiobook for the first time and now I’m committed to this format because Thérèse Plummer was just outstanding in every aspect of her performance. When things got really tense, she adjusted her cadence, pace and tone to match, making my heart race and consistently delivering a 5-star narration!
It takes a while for the story to build up and Amarok is going to drive you nuts with his frenzied investigation. But the payoff is huge as I didn’t want to stop listening, especially during the last 30% of the book. It was very good up to that point but impossible to put down once I reached it. This is a unique series and continues to bring the chills. It, yet again, surpassed my expectations.
