While this suspenseful and twisted labyrinth starts to unfold, we also get to see Detective Tony, Mari’s romantic interest who is not always the best at expressing his feelings. You could feel the chemistry between these two and I loved watching their story grow deeper!

With plenty of lovable side characters like Orlando, Matt (aka Gift From God ha!) Izzy and more, this book has got it all! I love a thriller that keeps the twists and turns coming and thoroughly enjoyed this read. I didn’t want to put it down!

Mari Alvarez is back -- and she's the victim now of a serial killer who is after revenge. She learns what it means to be stalked and must rely on her detective friend Tony to help her. There's also another law enforcement officer that could just shake up Tony and Mari's relationship.

I liked most of this. There's plenty of action, but there were also some slower parts that I found myself skimming over. It was all about the revenge plot and what would happen there, and this did leave the reader with the door open for more. Overall, an entertaining crime drama with elements of romance.

Fantastic sequel and thrilling page turner! I love the unnerving use of AI and technology. You can read this alone and get the gist of the story, but reading the previous two books will enrich the suspense.

This was a very interesting book. I was t sure if I was going to enjoy it but I really did! Put this on your list as soon as possible

Thank you to Entangled Amara for the ARC! We at The Pulse have been buzzing about “All the Captive Girls”! Our FMC, Mari, gets sucked into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse by a killer that everyone thought was dead. She must play by his rules or risk losing everyone she loves.

Action-packed and with great twists, “All the Captive Girls” is fast-paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. It can definitely be read by itself, but now I want to go back and read the other books in this series!

”All the Captive Girls” is out NOW! This review will be shared to my instagram blog (@books_by_the_bottle) shortly :)

This book started out already catching my attention from the get go. It was one plot twist after another. I really couldn’t put it down, Marisol was captivating! She was so bold and brave to go through all of that. And still come out on top.

I really wish we knew more about what happened with other characters afterward. it leaves room for another story line for other characters which I’d love to see as well!

The third and final book in a series is everything I hoped it would be. I read this book first and now need to read books 1 & 2 because they sound so good! I didn’t have any trouble jumping into this book first though. The book opens at a pirate parade in Florida with Mari (rhymes with sorry) searching the crowd for a killer and thinking a parade where everyone is dressed up is the perfect place to commit a crime.

I listened to several interviews the author gave about this book and loved hearing the background and inspiration for the book. Grab this book if you love a good manhunt mixed with a little bit of a love triangle!

Thank you, for a digital copy of this book. The opinions are my own and freely given.

This book is the 3rd in the All The Broken Girls Series.
This book is set in Tampa during a celebration of Pirates, there are parades, balls and all sorts of festivities. This has a lot to do with AI (which frankly I am scared of) and Santeria religion that I am not familiar with. That being said, Mari Alvarez, a news reporter KNOWS, that Hanks is still alive and out to get her. The problem is he died in fire, and authorities can't really seem to believe her. Until, there is a mass shooting during a parade.
This book had a lot of action and some scary AI moments. This was a very good book that kept me engaged. No, I haven't read the first two books in the series, but I didn't feel lost, as the author seemed to explain a lot. I do look forward o going back and reading the first two.

We meet Mari again. This time, a former cop is hunting her. She must figure out how to stop him before more people get hurt, all while keeping her sister safe from harm and navigating a hopefully new relationship. I really enjoyed the suspense in this book


Thanks to Brittany from Entangled Publishing for the e-arc!!

Rating: 5/5
I received the eARC for my honest opinion.

Wow, right off the bat on page one Linda brought us readers, an engaging read, action filled, psychological thriller, with mystery and a sprinkle of romance. I still have not had time to go back and read book one, but I did start with book 2 and I didn’t feel as though I missed anything in that book as well as in this book. I do think I would have a better understanding of the villain in this book, and I will be reading it and any of the books that Linda will be putting out.

This book starts out with Mari getting psychological torture by the killer. He taunts her to stop his shooting at random people if she would just stand up and get shot herself. He then starts to bring her down, by spoofing videos of her saying and doing bad things, so that no one will take her seriously or trust her word on what is really happening. With the help of her long-time crush, Tony and other characters, she is finally able to piece together how he was doing it and who really helped him out.

I loved that we got to see more about the killer, and to understand more on why he is the way that he is. I loved that we got more information on all the characters really, more about Tony, Mari and her sister. I enjoyed that even though this is a thriller/mystery you will still find humored moments, and sweet and caring ones. I found the love triangle thrown in this book to have been well done and something exciting because you wanted Mari with Tony but at the same time here is Matt who is clearly interested. I enjoyed that Linda had AI in this book and the way that she wrote it into the book she also explained why AI is getting bigger in the world today and everything that it can do. It’s all scary but I loved that I got a better understanding of the topic because of her, you really will start to understand how AI can really ruin people’s lives in the wrong hands. I found all the twists and turns to have been perfectly placed, and I loved that I was wrong, but I can see why I was wrong and that is all because of Linda’s writing. This is a fast-paced book and you won't want to put it down.

I highly recommend this book and the previous books as well. You will be on the edge of your seat with this book and loving every moment of it.

I want to thank NetGalley and Entangled for the opportunity to review this book.

All The Captive Girls by Linda Hurtado Bond picks up where All The Girls Are Missing left off. Mari Alvarez, Tampa Bay crime reporter’s, past comes back to haunt her….and everyone she cares about are in danger.

John Hanks, a former cop and a serial killer, had used his position to find his victims. Everyone thought he had died in a fire, but they were mistaken. I love books that use vigilantes to seek justice for those who escape it, but John has now taken it to a new level. He is playing a game with Mari…and the end goal is her death.

More and more books are dealing with artificial intelligence and it makes me more aware of how easily it can ruin someone’s life. How easy it is to to twist the truth, making our world smoke and mirrors, making it impossible to distinguish fact from fiction.

Mari does have a love interest, Detective Tony Garcia. He holds his emotions close to his vest. She believes he cares deeply for her, but he doesn’t show it. What will it take for him to commit?

Linda Hurtado Bond sure does know how to whip my emotions into a frenzy. The pacing of All The Captive Girls kept me on pins and needles. Her ability to lead me down a dark and dangerous path keeps me wanting more.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of All The Captive Girls by Linda Hurtado Bond.

Tampa Bay crime reporter Mari Alvarez thought the worst was behind her. She thought she could return to work, her sister, her friends, and her still-undefined relationship with Detective Tony Garcia. To find something almost normal…until a killer everyone thought was dead contacts her….


This is the third book of the series and it’s just as amazing as the others. Linda Hurtado Bond truly Tudor’s herself as an author each and every time. I truly can’t wait to see what’s next!

Another great extension of the Mari Alvarez story line and picks up after the events of All The Missing Girls. There were so many unique aspects of this book that was not only a surprise but awesome to read about, particularly the use of AI and technology and how it can or is altering real life. The concepts of deepfakes, tracking, utilizing technology and AI to further police investigations was something I haven't seen much about but was well executed in this story. I found that I was interested to look into how much is used in the real world and how much is a take on what are possible capabilities and technology continues to advance.

The expansion of Mari and Tony's relationship and the character growth especially for Mari was wonderfully executed in this book as well. As with the other books in this series, the cultural aspects added to the story but did not overpower the story. I found I was gripped by the story and invested in how it was all going to wrap up. An overall quick, and great thriller read that will keep you questioning how it will end.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. My best friend of 35 years moved to Tampa, and Linda Hurtado Bond is able to transport me there in her books. It's as if I was standing on the sidewalk at Gasparilla as Mari is ready to take one for the team in Book 3 of this series! I absolutely love the FMC. She is the very definition of fearless. Serial killers may be smart, but she's much smarter. Although this is a standalone, I really think you should read the first two books to really understand everything. I highly enjoyed this series!

OMG! LOVED LOVED LOVED, I couldn't ask for more with this sequel. I am so in love with this series because of the beautifully crafted suspense in this book. I really loved being dropped back into the action of the ending of the first book. What I loved most about this series is where its set, which all hits so close to home, being Cuban, born in Tampa and now in Miami; it just wrapped me in my safety blanket of what I know and love. This story was woven so well and I loved the writing style Linda implements so gracefully. Not only was it fast paced, but full of suspense and has you worrying so much for these loveable characters. I loved the artificial intelligence implementation because it can ruin people's lives and you don't even realize how detrimental it could really be for society. Not only did it really make me go into a deep reflection of the work that I know as a freelancer working with AI, but it helped me think about the worst that could happen. These stories are so heavily realistic and truly make you think about the things that could really come to life and happen to you.

PS. READ THE PREV BOOK SO YOU AREN'T CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON


Thank you to the publisher for so gracefully providing this arc that I devoured VERY fast.

I was in my feels the whole time reading this book. I couldn't take my eyes off the pages I had to finish it quickly. I loved how everything clicked for me thru out the book there were times I was second guessing myself but it's that part of the fun of reading. I definitely recommend this book

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🔍 Revenge with a digital twist

The vibes we're tracking:
🏴‍☠️ Pirates, but make it deadly

This is the 3rd book of a series. It had many twists and turns that kept me reading. I hope the series will continue.

Following the crime reporter, Mari Alvarez, through the streets and underbelly of Tampa Bay while both eluding and trailing a dangerous killer, takes the reader on a whirlwind of a mystery thriller. A "ghost from the past" shows up at the Gasparilla pirate festival with a diabolical plan to hurt Mari by targeting those she loves. What is different about his plan is the use of AI in his attempt to incriminate Mari as his co-conspirator, even as she is his ultimate target. The detectives trying to keep Mari safe and find this killer also use advanced AI skills in their policing methods, which is all very interesting to learn about! Working together with what Mari knows about this psychotic, vengeful killer, the detectives weave a plan that they hope will catch this demon. Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC | Entangled: Amara for the opportunity to read and review this advance reader copy.

Mari Alvarez is in the Gasparilla pirate festival parade when shots are heard. Mari sees a coworker shot among others. She grabs the microphone and asks for medics. She warns the crowd to get down due to the gunshots. Another voice yells active shooter, run. Mari believes that the shooter is the serial killer she helped “bust” has returned seeking revenge. She checks her cell phone and the message reveals that it is him. Supposedly this shooter is dead until she got messages telling her that he wants to kill her. She had warned her boss and the police chief that this might happen but they called it a false alarm. Will she be ae able to stop him before he kills everyone she holds dear? or will the serial killer get his revenge?

The aythor has written a suspenseful novel. It kept me on thedge of my seat as I read this novel. The excellent pacing of the novel made it difficult to stop reading. I had not read her two earlier novels of this series(?) but plan to do so. I enjoyed the novel and think that this was find as a stand-alone novel. My advice is read it!
