The Lovely and the Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is phenomenal. I need the second book because if that twist is true then the reunion is going to be interesting because that person has been presumed dead for the past 18 to 20 years. Oh, how to talk about this book without much spoilers. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book because it is like the book to read if you are in a slump. I cannot stop singing praises about this book it needs to be on any mystery/thriller fanatics shelf.
Kira, Cady, Jude, Mac (sweet, sweet Mac and his K9... his cadaver dog), Gabriel, Free, Cady's father, all of the characters work so well together and I cried when Silver died. This is not a spoiler, it becomes obvious the dog will die at some point because she is like 13 years old. it is just how the dog died... nope, when the dog died that had me doing ugly silently crying unless I want my family to wonder why I'm blubbering over a fictional dog, but Silver is not just a fictional dog.
Ugh, it is too fantastic to put into words. It felt so real like everything that was happening to Kira was happening to you as well. The setting is spectacular and have you seen that cover? It is one of those books that I cannot wait for the rest of the books to come out (if there are any more?) and have no regrets reading this book.
I learned a lot about search and rescue and dogs roles in them. Also, the twists in this book are killer like finding out who Jude's father is and who rescued Kira from a hunter's trap has me on the edge of my seat.
As Oliver Twist would say "Please, sir, I want some more" (Charles Dickens 30).
5 out of 5 stars.
