Review
I wanted to love this book. I read and totally enjoyed her recent Life Flight and hoped to like this one just as much. But … I didn’t. The pacing was up and down. I could put this book down for hours rather than being pulled back into it. Identifying the protagonist was too easy. I did like the characters but I wasn’t compelled to keep reading to make sure they survived.
Maybe a factor is that each book of this series is written by a different author. Perhaps it’s just harder to write a #5 book in a series when you haven’t written the previous four and lived with those characters for a while.
However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t recommend the book. It’s a nice read. Good happy ending. Nice assortment of characters. Scarlett is nicely depicted on the cover. She is a wonderful search & rescue dog. One of the things I liked most was when she was *not* doing S&R — Scarlett became just a loving, caring “puppy dog” to Lacey.
I hope others like Following the Trail more than I did. But I’m still an #LynetteEasonFollower.
I received a complimentary e-ARC copy of Following the Trail from the publisher, HARLEQUIN – Romance (U.S. & Canada), Love Inspired Suspense, via NetGalley. A positive review was not required; the opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
