This was a fantastic read. Tons of action and suspense. My favorite kind of book. It has a good angst factor. We get to see more of Matt and his alpha side. I enjoyed reading this book so much. I was glued to the pages. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Couldn’t wait to read this book and was not disappointed. Although I love the dynamics of the characters and feel like I know them, the suspense and action is what keeps me coming back to this series. Bree Taggert is a force to be reckoned with despite the obstacles thrown at her throughout her life. #netgalley #onherwatch

Another not to be missed book in the Bree Taggert series.

Melinda Leigh is one of my favorites and I am always excited for her next installments with my favorite characters. Bree and Matt are back and trying to solve the next murder mystery to hit their town. I love that these pick right up where the last story ended and continue to bring us into their world and story.

Does Bree have a serial killer on her hands? After three bodies are found in the woods Bree and Matt race to solve the case before the killer can strike again. Melinda Leigh does a good job, as always, of keeping you guessing until the end and mixing in just the right amount of love story.

I love a good thriller. I found this book to have plenty of intrigue, suspense, and great characters. I would definitely read more from Melinda Leigh.

I am so pleased I have found this author and get excited when a new book is released. This is a great chapter of the Bree taggart series but could easily be read as a standalone. More books please!!

5* This tale starts at a pace that doesn't let up until the end. Sooo glad Bree's still around.

Even though the Bree Taggart series has ended, these are practically BT books, just with a few additions and slightly less focus on family, now that Bree has settled a tad more into being both guardian to her nephew and niece, and LEO. Despite her only just being married, there's no time for a honeymoon as as usual, she's involved in a storyline that starts with a bang, and gets more and more complicated.

There's a lot happening with the case, and with Bree's family being threatened (which doesn't slow her down, as Adam's around, as is good old Dana) and the pace doesn't let up. There's enough red herrings that I totally missed the baddie getting a mention, and said mention was low key enough that nothing twigged. Thankfully there's more BT tales to come in 2024 and 2025, with all available on pre-order. I just one-clicked all.

oh how I love this series! it just get better and better. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy.

We start with most of her department out with the flu. She is on a domestic call when it is reported that 2 hikers found a body. Bree and Matt head to that scene and discover not 1 body, but 2 and the bones of another.
From here it is a race to stop what appears to be a serial killer. This was very well written and I really liked seeing more of Matt's parents, and his sister.
I really enjoy the way Ms. Leigh has written Bree. Strong and sure of herself, but not afraid to let others in. The partnership between Bree and Matt is great, both working and personal.
I hope we see Bree for a long time and I will be ready to read each and every one.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this series just keeps getting better and better with each book. On Her Watch is book number 8 in the series from Sheriff Bree Taggert and Investigator Matt Flynn. When hikers discover the body of a young woman in the woods, Bree brings in the canine unit to secure the area only to discover two more bodies. During their investigation, one of the victim’s friend goes missing and another young woman disappears leaving Bree and Matt stretched thin to find them alive and hunt down a serial killer.

Bree and Matt are perfect together and I love the family unit they’ve created with Bree’s niece and nephew. They all continue to grow and heal individually and together and their futures are promising.

Thank you @melindaleigh1 @amazonpublishing and @netgalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Melinda Leigh does it again. An absolute home run. This is jam packed with suspense and horror, combined with the family and friends we have come to know and love. This sucks you in and keeps your heart pounding throughout. Full of twists and turns and heart stopping moments. Bree and her family are some of my favourite literary characters and this author has brought them to life.
This book is a must read. It is absolutely thrilling from cover to cover

On Her Watch by Melinda Leigh Book 8 in the Bree Taggert Series which keeps getting better and better. A fast paced police procedural with some very creepy and nasty murders and an total evil serial killer. The core group of characters including the lovely dogs, are still evolving with their connection to each other and the deputies in Bree's office. Awaiting another installment of this entertaining and well written series.
Thank you to Melinda Leigh, NetGalley, and Montlake Publishing for the opportunity to preview the book.

Bree is back baby and how!! Whoop whoop…. The moment I received the ARC I made a little happy dance as I love the Bree Taggert series. This is book 8 in the series. The books in the series can be read as stand-alone, but to get more of the background stories I recommend reading the whole series and I’m (almost) sure you won't regret it.

I have some weird love for Melinda Leigh her books. The plot is always predictable for me (probably for seasoned Thriller and Crime/Mystery readers as well), but…her character-building is just sublime. Not only do you feel connected to the very strong FMC sheriff Bree Taggert but you also develop a deep love for the other characters. The chemistry between Bree and Matt is flying off the pages and the kids are just aaaww and you feel for them. I think that Melinda nailed the feeling for a woman to juggle family life and work. Even tho Bree has to go to work, she feels bad leaving her kids while they need her as well. Although the plot was a bit predictable for me, the well-built tension, suspense, the twists and turns gripped me and made me turn the pages. The story touched on some real-life issues and I think that is what makes you invested in the story as you can easily relate and feel for the characters. A must-read for any crime/mystery fan who also enjoys a romantic subplot. A 4.5-star book for me rounded up on good reads.

This is the 8th book in the Bree Taggert series and I think the books keep getting better and better! The author has an amazing ability to keep the reader on the edge of the seat and guessing who the culprit is. These books are nearly impossible to put down until you’re at the end. In this book the sheriff’s office is short staffed because of an influenza outbreak, and when several bodies are found in the woods wrapped in tarps the few officers who are well are called on to find who killed them. This book could be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading the series from the beginning. I received an arc of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own.

Another brilliant instalment of the Bree Taggert series by Melinda Leigh. I enjoyed the premise of this one, and I have enjoyed Bree's personal character development throughout the series, although it can get a bit repetitive at times.

This is book eight in the Author's Sheriff Bree Taggart series and can in my opinion be read as a standalone

Hikers find a tarp wrapped body near a hiking trail . Soon more are found nearby and Bree and her team find themselves in a race against time when a young woman with links to one of the victims is found to be missing.
Bree is willing to utilise all resources to find the girl especially the skills of her partner , Investigator Matt Flynn
What is the link between the victims , can they find the missing girl alive ? Matters are escalating at a pace ........ now the perpetrator is threatening Bree's family , can she keep them safe whilst continuing with the
investigation ?

This is the latest book featuring Bree , her family and colleagues - I love how she struggles to look after her family whilst nurturing her relationship with Matt and still managing a full time difficult job , with all it entails

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

It’s no secret I love these series. I mean what’s not to love; The love and respect between Bree, Matt, Kayla, Luke and Dana (not to mention, the rest of the awesome cast of regular characters). The suspenseful criminal investigation story line. And of course the side order of romance. What else can you ask for in a series?

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC. #Netgalley #OnHerWatch

Bree and Matt are called out, going up into the woods, they find more than just one.
The newspeople are busy with the headlines, people are concerned
Bree is now a mother of her sister's children, and they are being targeted.
Bree is determind to protect them, solve the case, for she will not lose them
