Review: First Sign of Danger

First Sign of Danger by Kelley Armstrong
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's sad to hear, but this is the next-to-last book in this series. The last book will be released in autumn 2027. At least that is what the ARC claims!

I can see why this is the next-to-last book, since we finally have a major reveal about what is going on with their neighbors, the so-called miners.

Much of the book was spent running after trials trying to find out how a hiker died (was murdered )and what happened to the hiker's wife. It was interesting to find that there is a traitor in the 'town'. Of course, there are other dead bodies and some excitement with Lilith, although that is never discussed again during this book.

I was a little bored trying to keep all the characters straight, with all of the care the baby needed and who she was with, and the aimless running around chasing scents (the dog). But it was all worth it when you get to the last half of the book.

I liked this book, not loved it like I did past books, but I sure will be sorry to see this series end!

Summary: "Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are entering a new chapter of life as parents to their six-month-old baby. Their family is hidden away in the sanctuary town of Haven's Rock where they can live safe and private lives. But when they encounter hikers too close to the borders of Haven's Rock, they realize they're in danger of being exposed.

When they find one of the hikers dead the next day, they realize that their paranoia was justified, but they're no closer to finding out who these people were and what they were doing in the vicinity of Haven's Rock. Only by tracing the hikers' movements, as well as examining the recent behavior of their closest neighbors, the workers of a secretive mining camp, will they be able to figure out where the threat is coming from and shut it down. Otherwise, the lives of everyone in Haven's Rock--and their safe, secure new existence--are at risk.
