Laurel Snow is a prodigy who better understands serial killers than she does everyday people, which is why she doesn’t understand why the FBI keeps sending her out on recruitment assignments. While waiting for her flight from her latest recruitment disaster, Laurel gets a frantic call from her mother begging her to come home. Multiple bodies have been discovered at a local mountain in her hometown of Genesis Valley, WA, and the sheriff wants to arrest Laurel’s uncle.

Needing to review the scene as soon as she lands, Laurel makes her way to Wildlife and Fisheries officer Capt. Huck Rivers’ home. Though Huck is a gruff loner, their attraction intensifies the more they work together, as does their investigation. Things get more complicated when they meet Dr. Abigail Cane, a witness who intrigues Laurel as much as she terrifies her. When things start hitting a little too close to home for Laurel, she’ll have to use all her expertise to catch the killer before it’s too late.

Every so often a really gripping thriller comes along that you can’t put down. The first in Rebecca Zanetti’s captivating new Laurel Snow series, YOU CAN RUN is a slow-burn romance in a high octane thriller with enough twists to keep you guessing almost to the end. Laurel is such an intriguing character. A child prodigy who knits to relieve stress, she’s one of the most fascinating characters I’ve come across in a very long time. Both Laurel and Huck are these awkward characters that you don’t typically find together in a romance, making them a very refreshing lead pair. Then there’s Dr. Abigail Cane. She’s one of those characters where your feelings for her flip-flop a lot but she does bring a lot of crazy to the party, thus keeping things very interesting. I look forward to all the mischief she’s bound to create in future installments. Thankfully YOU CAN RUN doesn’t end on a cliff-hanger but there are plenty of things left unresolved to keep you anticipating the next book.
