Nobody Told Me by Kay Bratt

 

My thoughts

Book six of a series by one of my favorite author's. The Hart's Ridge series is great. Well written and each book has many twists and turns. They all capture a story from a headline that actually happened though the names are changed. They always make me gasp loudly when the tragedy is revealed. In this one I kept hoping it was not going to be who it was. 

This book is focused mainly on Lucy and Taylor's relationship. Mostly Lucy and her past catching up with her. Lucy feels much guilt about things she did in her past and is also dealing with so much depression. Her life both when she was just a child and after she got older played a huge part in molding her. Her younger life was so tumultuous and without Taylor she does not think she would have survived. Even though she's made quite a few mistakes in her life she knows where she needs to be now. Her son depends on her. Her new dog depends on her. Her family is all she has and she loves them deeply. 

Taylor has always had a sixth sense when it comes to Lucy. When she senses deep danger she responds. She sets out to rescue her no matter what. With Shane's help they take off to save Lucy from something big. What has Lucy gotten herself into this time. Come along to Hart's Ridge and you will find out. As Lucy sets off to right a wrong that is eating away at her. Hoping to stop all the things that have been popping up against her Lucy feels she can make it all go away if only she can see the person she believes is responsible.

There is also the missing teen who is very close to Taylor's heart. Can he be found in time and will he be ok? Also can Taylor finally find out who assaulted her so many years ago? Will her and Sam finally have a peaceful relationship? What will happen between them? Love is strong in this series as is the mystery in each book. They have two stories in each book and are all very heartfelt. 

I love this series very much. Well written and just enough love to make it feel so real.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this for review. 

Five big stars from me. I loved it.
