Book Review- Run, Run, Seek (A Hunting Grounds Short) - Nichole Severn

 reason why amphibians are so sensitive to environmental change?

A detective barely hanging onto her career.
A partner who refuses to walk away.
A deadly game of hide and seek neither of them see coming.


Detective Samia Lane has had it with getting involved with cops. Her ex-husband—and former captain—was a criminal and a liar who took advantage of the entire department. But when an avid hiker goes missing, she never expects her partner of three years to become anything more than a friend.

Banks Everette isn’t looking to stay in the shadows of Samia’s life. He wants more. He won’t let his feelings for her get in the way of the investigation, but just as they uncover answers, the game turns personal. One they didn’t realize they were playing.

Can Banks convince the detective he’s always loved to trust him with her broken heart when a killer is out to end their lives?
5 STARS
The story starts out good with Samia's point of view doing the speaking.  I was thinking, "aren't we going to hear Banks point of view as well?  I hope so. But even if we don't I am still enjoying it."   Chapter 4 is when we get to "hear" some of his side of things.  Yay!  
The emotions in this story and the partnership between Samia and Banks kept things moving. Both such good main characters. He is so into Samia both on the job and off.  And she has her shields up even while letting him in more than she has anyone else.  She is so afraid to trust another cop romantically after her ex's massive betrayal.  But I could see that Banks wasn't hiding behind a mas like her ex had.  What she saw was who he was.  Good guy. Both on the job and off.  They really did make a good team.
This book might be shorter but it is jam packed and kept my interest throughout.  A surprise twist towards the end makes it even better.   And there is also hope for the future.
 
I received a free copy of this story and this is my honest thoughts on it.
