I read this book as a standalone book but I enjoyed it so much I think I need to invest in the series. The plot was good, descriptive writing captured the scenes and the characters well written. It was hard to guess the twists, but the plot was easy to follow

This was a great story! I was captivated by the story and was hooked until the end. When I realized it was the 6th book in a series, I got nervous. Then I realized they are all standalone but it did have me wanting to go back and read the other stories!

I couldn’t put this one down. So much suspense and I was really hoping for a good outcome. This is the 6th book in the series & I hadn’t read the others but was able to keep up just fine with the characters. I look forward to the next installment!

Avery Jennings is a last-year college student on vacation with her friends in Mexico. When she disappears at the end of her trip, her friends and family fear she was abducted.

FBI Special Agent Victoria Heslin is asked to assist in the search. Avery’s aunt is a fellow FBI agent and the Mexican Federales are allowing the FBI to assist at the resort that Avery was last seen.

As they search for Avery, secrets are exposed that could put her life in danger. Will the FBI be able to locate Avery in a foreign county before it’s too late.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

While this book was part of a series I’ve never read, I didn’t feel confused or like I missing any important details. I really enough it! I’ll be looking for more books by this author.

I read this book in 24 hours! I enjoyed everything about this book -- from the plot to the characters to the moving and grooving style of writing. This is the first book by Jenifer Ruff that I've read and plan to read more of them now.

Three sorority girls are on a luxury spring break vacation in Mexico. Avery tests positive for Covid so she has to stay and be in isolation. When she disappears FBI agent Victoria Heslin and her partner are invited to help the Mexican police because Avery is the niece of a prominent FBI division head. Turns out no one is telling everything they know and Agent Heslin must wade through leads to figure out what happened to Avery. This was a crackling good crime thriller and I liked the setting. Being in a foreign country lends an extra air of uncertainty of local customs, culture and crime and a feeling of lawlessness.

This is my first time reading book by this Author, Jenifer Ruff.

All I can say is I really enjoyed the book! It had me hooked after few pages. I can't help but I feel like I also part of the investigation. that's alone everyone should know how good this book can pull me in.

The story itself isn't something too new if I have to say but it has a very good storytelling. All the characters has a good proportion of their backstory, very fast paced but you don't really find something has missing in, very relevant information.

The tense, thrill, suspense all into one story. this is totally page turner that make you engaged in one sit. As this is a book series and despite this is my first book, I definitely will read her other series as I could say this is a worthy series you can continue!

You are not only presented with a story but also a lesson that you can learn, wherever you are stay alert because the act of crime doesn't see who you are.

Thank you for NetGalley and Publisher for providing ARC in exchange for honest review.

This was a great book! I would love to read more by this author. It was captivating and held my attention soooo good! Highly recommend it!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book to read and give an honest review.

Avery is on holiday in Mexico with her two friends. When her covid test comes back as positive she is forced to stay in isolation rather than return home. That is the last anyone heard from her.

FBI agent Victoria is sent to investigate by cooperating with the Mexican police.

First off I didn’t realise that this was a series. I haven’t read any others but it didn’t spoil this story for me. In fact I want to now go back and read the rest and follow Victoria’s story.

I enjoyed this. Typical thriller with red herrings throughout. It was easy to read, and was a relaxing way to spend some time.

Highly recommend.

This was just my idea of a perfect thriller! There were so many twists and turns and the setting and foreign police was a really unique spin on it. This is literally the 1st thriller about someone missing abroad where it has referenced the local culture and local processes so I liked that. It also keeps a good pace throughout and keeps you guessing the whole way through. I'm away to download the authors back catalogue ad we speak! Must read for those who like thrillers or police procedural books

Another terrific Victoria Heslin, FBI thriller. Victoria heads down to Mexico to look for FBI Division Head Payton Manning's missing niece, Avery Jennings. Avery vanished on the last night of her vacation with friends and Payton manages to pull strings and get the FBI inserted into the investigation, as helpers to the federales working the disappearance. Victoria works the case with fellow Agent Diego Rivera and together they follow the leads as the mystery deepens with very few leads to go by.
Great story line with in depth character portrayal and twists that I never saw coming.

Fun holiday on a very expensive Mexican resort goes horribly wrong for one of the sorority girls - she disappears. FBI Agent Victoria Heslin is on the case albeit through a family link and with very limited jurisdiction. Drug cartels are involved and there are some very unpleasant bad guys before Victoria wins through. Characters are well-drawn but mostly not that likeable, Victoria is a strong character although puts herself in unwise situations with apparent little forethought. Still, a good enough read to keep one entertained. I don't feel that I missed anything by not having read previous stories in the series. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
FINALLY!!! A book that I couldn't put down!!

This is the first time I've heard of Jenifer Ruff and after reading this I immediately went to the Kindle store and brought the first 5 books in this series.

An easy read crime thriller with a few twists along the way. I read this book as a stand alone without having read any of the other books in the series and still felt like I had a good sense of the background of the detective. The story was simple, but also kept me engaged as a reader.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from BooksGoSocial and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own..

A nice read that’s perfectly paced. Quite enjoyable, likable characters and an entertaining read.

Exciting book. Great plot. Very different to other books I’ve read. It was fast paced. Kept me on the edge of my seat. The book was very well written

I was hooked and couldnt stop reading. This was a good one. I liked it and will read more books like this. Must read. Go and get it now.

Great fast paced summer read for any mystery lover!! The storyline was interesting and relatable, and the author did very well at keeping the story engaging.

I really enjoyed getting to tag along with FBI Agent Victoria Heslin. She is a strong and independent lead character!

This was my first read by Jenifer Ruff. I knew it was part of a standalone series going in, and planned to read the others if I liked it. I am happy to report, I will definitely be reading the other books in this series!

[I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.]

Vanished on Vacation was a wonderful thriller/mystery that kept me on my toes throughout the story. The descriptions were great and I really felt like I was on location in Mexico. I couldn’t put the book down and couldn’t wait to find out the ending. A great, entertaining read!

I did not realize when I went into this book that it was part of a series, which is my bad. So I did feel like I was missing part of what was happening in this book, again that was totally my fault.

However, I did enjoy this book, but think that it would have been better if I would have had that background of it being part of a series. This is book #6.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me an early e-arc of the book!
