2,5 stars
Romantic Suspense is a genre I used to read a lot more, so I was excited to see how I got on with this book. While it started okay, the writing got progressively worse as the book went on. The romance was very hot and cold, going from 0 to a 100 and then back to 0. The author tried a bit to hard to make the FMC unique and gave her so many different traits that at one point it started to become annoying. I did appreciate the way FMC was handling adversity at the male-centric job, as well as some female representation that was pretty good and varied. The plot was decent, but I think the ending lacked a punch for me. I think the whole plotline around her father has some plot holes. It had me very confused, so I was very critical of how that impacted the storyline by the end.

Overall, it was an average read for me. But, if you need something light to pass the time and you won't think on too deeply, check it out.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington Books for providing me with this ARC. All opinions are my own.

You Can Run was a fantastic read following an FBI agent as she teams up with a fish and wildlife officer to search for a serial killer in her hometown.

FBI Special Agent Laurel Snow is on her way back to DC when she receives a frantic call from her mother that her uncle has become tangled up in the discovery of several dead bodies near Genesis Valley, WA, her hometown. When Laurel arrives, she finds herself working with Huck Rivers, the fish and wildlife officer assigned to the case. As Laurel and Huck begin their investigation it becomes clear there's more to this case than it initially appeared. With a growing list of suspects, it will take all of Laurel's skills to find this killer.

Laurel is a great main character to follow and I enjoyed her a lot. She's incredibly intelligent and I liked watching her work through the clues and piece things together. Also she's direct and doesn't play games which is a refreshing change of pace from characters that never say what they mean. Huck was a bit standoffish and we do learn a little bit about why he's like that. He does open up a bit as the book goes on but he clearly has room for growth. I thought Huck and Laurel worked well together as they approached the murders from different angles allowing them to explore alternate theories. There isn't a ton of progress on their romance in this one so I'm looking forward to seeing that develop as the series goes on.

The mystery in this one was interesting and the connection to Laurel's family meant she needed to work quickly to find the killer. At the start of the book a couple teenagers accidentally stumble onto a killer's dumping ground which leads to Laurel's involvement in the case. With the location of the bodies discovered, the killer has to switch things up which led to some interesting situations for Laurel and Huck. The ending was well done with the perfect mix of action and suspense to keep you guessing on how things would turn out. During the investigation we meet Dr. Abigail Caine, a woman with a surprising connection to Laurel, and let me just say the author does a great job of making you hate this woman. I could not stand her character and I was kind of hoping she'd be dealt with but it looks like she'll be sticking around for a while in the series.

Overall You Can Run was a great start to the series and I'm looking forward to picking up the next book in the series, You Can Hide, soon.

The first book in a new series featuring FBI profiler Laurel Snow. Rebecca Zanetti is well known for her ability to cross genre within a story line. So YOU CAN RUN is a romance, mystery, family drama, thriller and a little bit more mixed into a great book. I'm a sucker for the first book in any series. I love to see how the author will introduce the characters, community and the over arcing story lines that will make up the bones of a series. Zanetti has done an excellent job building a story line set within a realistic community and populated it with a few quirky characters. Laurel Snow is the central character. She has an eiditic memory, once she sees something, she can't forget it. Her high IQ and low tolerance for anyone who doesn't meet her standards, leads her to work alone the majority of the time. She's a perfect character to build a series around.
Laurel will be assigned to work a series of murders happening in her home town. This will bring her into contact with her family, a fact that doesn't seem to make either side happy. To search the surrounding forest, Laurel will work with a Fish and Wildlife officer who seems to be her match in attitude. The story moves quickly with clues woven into scenes that will keep you changing your prediction of the killer's identity often. There's plenty of tension, a little romance and several clues to an over arcing story that will have readers watching for book #2.

I've tried several books by Rebecca now and her books are just not my cuppa tea. I'm not sure if it's the writing style or what but unfortunately something just isn't clicking. I keep going back but fail. I love her covers and synopsis. They both always draw me in but once I get between the pages it's a wrap, nothing keeps me captivated.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book. I'm sorry I can't provide a review.

DNF @ multiple percentages.

Rating 1 star because NetGalley makes us leave a rating, this is not a reflection on the book itself.

My first and definitely won’t be the last book that I read by Rebecca Zanetti! Talk about a story that kept me on my toes. I loved it!

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

A solid start to a romantic suspense series. I enjoyed many of the POVs in the novel, especially Laurel’s. I think this book would be a great read for fans of the Bones TV show.

You can Run has everything one loves about a mystery thriller.
A crime that leaves the reader wondering who and why.
Characters that you makes you feel that you're right along with them figuring out all the clues.

Suspects.. oh the suspects.
I'm all here for it.

Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books, Zebra that gave me this oppprtunity. Serial killer and the mystery around were reall unique and I wanted to know more and more.

This one was not for me.
Thank you NetGalley for providing a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Many thanks to Tantor Audio and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC of this book.

Zanetti artfully joins the various characters with the action in this serial killer thriller, for a mystery that isn't far removed from the main character's life and personal history as it originally seems.

I love mystery novels, and I HATE romance novels, although it has become popular to “marry” these two genres, much to my frustration and dismay. However, although this author began her career penning 'bodice-rippers" (check her previously published list) this novel contained only one cringe-worthy graphic sex scene that I was desperate to "fast-forward" through.

Although It is almost impossible to find a mystery these days that DOESN’T contain a “romantic” subplot, this novel has well-developed characters and the main character's life is interwoven successfully with the storyline. I found myself engaged and entertained throughout the entire story.

Wowza! The prologue of this book was like a wild, crazy rollercoaster ride on steroids! Lauren Snow is an FBI Special Agent who is hunting a serial killer who has killed multiple women in her hometown of Genesis Valley, WA when she meets Fish and Wildlife Captain Huck Rivers. Huck is very secretive and doesn’t like anything that upsets his and his dog Aeneas’s routine. Lauren needs to trust him to solve this mystery and doesn’t like that she feels an unusual pull toward him.

To complicate matters, the local sheriff has made her uncle, Carl Snow, a person of interest, and Lauren’s mother has asked her to protect him. Lauren was conceived when her teenage mother ran away to Seattle and got pregnant with her. She knows nothing of her father so is very close to her mother’s family. She soon meets the mysterious Dr. Abigail Caine who has a strange interest in her as well as a cast of other suspicious characters.

This was a fast-paced romantic suspense story with a very twisted plot. I was quite surprised at several turns in the book and stunned at the ending. I am highly looking forward to the next installment and recommend this to other readers. I thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest review. I gave it four stars.

A first in a series, this book was a thrilling read. Filled with secrets, twists and turns, it kept me hooked from the start. I will definitely look forward to reading more of this series.

Hmm. This is twisty! That revelation floored me! Fellows, that made a mark! So good!

Cheers to Netgalley for the copy!

This is a new to me author and I have to say I am looking forward to reading more by this author! I loved this book

Good start to a new series. Laurel returns to her hometown and becomes embroiled in a murder mystery. Adding into the mystery are secrets from Laurel's own past coming to light. Slow burn romance starting with Huck. Classic Zanetti mixing suspense and romance.

I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of You Can Run through Net galley . This story is action packed from the start . The story keeps you on the edge of your seat . I could not put it down . It's intense and interesting and so many twists and turns I never seen coming .
It definitely held my interest . The characters are unique and the story is spectacular . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

This book was not a fit for me personally, but I’m sure it will land for others! I think if you like books with law enforcement protagonists, or super genius characters- it will probably be a hit. I do not enjoy those elements, but the author’s writing is solid, so I would definitely try another!

Thank you so much Netgalley & Zebra for the eArc!

Rebecca Zanetti’s books are some of my favourite binge reads in romance/romantic suspense genre!

However, this first book in a series, focusing on Dr. Laurel Snow is a little different from her other series.

Dr. Laurel Snow, FBI’s rising star profiler, is on vacation when a pile of bones is discovered near her hometown. Highly intelligent and socially awkward, this case turns out to hit quite close to home.

Add in the complication of an enigmatic woman, who could be her twin and the (un)welcome attraction to a fellow Fish and Wildlife Officer, Huck Rivers; this serial killer case hits more than close to home.

I usually can only read stand-alone books, even in a series; but with the panache of Rebecca Zanetti’s writing style, I am honestly looking forward to the next mystery for Dr. Laurel to solve.

You Can Run by Rebecca Zanetti is the first book in her Laurel Snow series.

Laurel Snow is a genius, young FBI agent of striking appearance with a particular skill for finding serial killers. Captain Huck Rivers is a loner, an officer, hunter, and tracker with Washington State Fish and Wildlife. Laurel and Huck find each other attractive but know a relationship between them is a bad idea. Laurel has to find the killer while navigating changes in her personal life that may or may not include a romance with a colleague.

Rebecca Zanetti’s new series starts off with a bang! The appropriately steady pace is an attention-keeper, and great twists I didn’t see coming are interestingly spaced, for never a dull moment. Laurel Snow is an interesting and complex new female protagonist. Huck Rivers is the epitome of manly. The character development is compelling and complete. You Can Run is a 5 star read that I highly recommend to all readers of romantic thrillers.

My thanks to Kensington Books, Zebra, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. However, the opinions expressed in this review are 100% mine and mine alone.

I love love love a good thriller but this was a GREAT thriller. I highly recommend book even if thriller's are not your thing you will enjoy this one!!!!
