Great suspense!! Kept you hanging on in wonder for the identity of the kidnapper of the ten year old Riley.
. First time reading this author/ really enjoyed her writing, the characters and plot line. I requested Her 1st Sawyer book for the library but the pandemic happened. I will be backtracking and read Don't make a sound which is #1. Highly recommend! Thanks to Thomas & Mercer & NetGalley for a copy of Out of Her Mind.

I must admit, I'm a sucker for T.R. Ragan. All of her books are addictive no matter how far fetched. I've yet to be let down by her and she always helps me out of my reading funks. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.

Gritty thriller,thoroughly enjoyable. Really like the characters and the main story was excellent. Not at all sure that the vigilante storyline is necessary.

I love TR Ragan books and this was no exception. Super fast paced and not afraid to delve into the darkest corners of humanity.
This book has simultaneous story lines, the main story line follows Sawyer, a crime reporter, as she investigates cold case crimes in her old home town. A home town that does not have many happy memories for her, her brutal upbringing is a source of trauma to this very day. Sawyer doesn’t bargain for just how close to home these crimes will take her.
A second story line flows in the undercurrent with promise of follow up in the next book. A series of vigilante revenge kidnap/killings on perpetrators of rapes.
Dive into this dark novel
If you dare. It will keep you up at night.

This book was not as good as other T.R. Ragan books I have read in the past. The story was mildly interesting but it didn't have the twists and turns that I was hoping to find along the way. Sawyer Brooks is a tragic character who wants to move past her childhood traumas and find her footing at her newspaper job. She becomes obsessed with solving a missing child case. The more she digs the more children she connects to the person she believes kidnapped Riley Addison. I wouldn't recommend this book to people looking for a thrilling read but it is a mildly interesting mystery.

I would love to see the author write a spin-off book featuring Paige as the main character. I really liked her in this storyline. I enjoyed this book and the mystery and characters. I've read a few on this author's other books, but I hadn't read the first book in this series. I'm never disappointed, though, in T. R. Ragan's books.

I love the fact this book was set in Sacramento as I'm from California and love reading books that describe areas I'm familiar with.

A few storylines were happening at once, but they all read well and didn't distract from the main storyline. I love the author wrote strong female characters, and their actions were realistic.
Out of Her Mind is a perfect mystery and crime drama book. I will definitely read more from this author.

A crime reporter with a terrible childhood becomes obsessed with solving the cases of unearthed bones and the disappearance of a 12 year old girl. (minor spoilers!)

Wow - this book was a wild ride with so many fantastic elements. Things I really enjoyed:

1. The multiple story lines, that are connected but are great stand alone stories
2. That it is a crime reporter battling against the clock to find a missing girl, rather than being from the perspective of the Police which is always the case with similar books
3. That the kidnapper was female. This never ever happens in books. It was great to get a female point of view, and I guess understand the different reasons why she would commit such crimes
4. The element of "revenge" was fascinating to read and added a great layer to an already great book
5. The underlying psychological aspects. We get a good understanding of why the things that are happening, happen and aren't left with many questions
6. Strong female characters - both Sawyer and the young girl are very strong woman

I honestly don't have any criticisms of this book, it is one of my top reads of the year. So well written, engaging and a great thriller. I had not read the first book in the series, but found I didn't need to and it made perfect sense as a standalone book.

Really enjoyed this book, I am a big fan of this author and the book didn’t disappoint. It kept my interest right the way through, had some twists that kept me guessing and gave me a couple of wow moments. Looking forward to the next one in the series!

The second installment in the Sawyer Brooks series is just as riveting as the first. Sawyer is determined to find a missing girl. What she unravels is shocking. All while dealing with her horrifying past. T.R. Ragan has created yet another must read series!

*ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review.

I liked the first book in the series well enough, but I have to say I liked this one more. I'm not sure why, exactly. I guess maybe the mystery was more compelling. You could kind of guess how it was going to go in the first one, but in this one, the motives and outcome were more hidden. Anyway, looking forward to more adventures of Sawyer Brooks.

Eeeeeks!! I was so excited when I saw this was up for review! I read the first book in this series on primes free book of the month and fell in love with t.r.'s writing. I was so happy to jot have to wait months to find out what happened! Although now i find myself waiting for book 3. My only complaint with this book is that the Derek thing wasnt resolved or even worked on that much. Cant wait for book 3!!

Out of Her Mind by T.R. Ragan is the second thrilling book in the Sawyer Brooks series. Sawyer follows her hunches and clues to find a kidnapper. Sawyer had a horribly abusive childhood and has tried to make a normal life for herself. She still has issues, but along with her sisters, Harper and Aria, she is slowly making a difference in her quality of life after the sexual abuse she suffered as a child.
Sawyer works as an investigative crime reporter for the Sacramento Independent and has become focused on finding answers and clues to several missing girls from her area over the past years. When Riley Addison goes missing after her music lesson, Sawyer is convinced there is something sinister happening.
It appears there is a female vigilante group in the Sacramento area! Women wearing what appears to be black wigs have been captured on video at a couple of scenes relating to violence against men accused of committing sexual crimes. Oh-Oh! the "Black Wigs" may include someone we know close to Sawyer. The crew members have vowed to get even with the rapists and abusers in their lives. Psycho, Cleo, Lily, and Bug are working together to get justice. How far will they go?
Sawyer works hard to search every clue to find Riley Addison before it is too late. I won't post spoilers, but the treatment of little Riley by her kidnapper is heartbreaking. Once you start reading you will want to continue non-stop until the ending!
