IN Pursuit (An Ivy Nash Thriller, Book 2) (Redemption Thriller Series 8) - John W. Mefford

IN Pursuit sees Ivy face the demons from her past in order to track down her kidnapper from book 1. After leaving her CPS job her new organisation, ECHO, is beginning to take off when she takes on a case from a girl Anika that Christine who now works for Ivy knows from the street – Anika is looking for her parents, not what ECHO is all about but Ivy agrees to help her find them. Something about her seemed a little off to me and my suspicions were right when the reason comes out as to why she is looking for parents after being on the streets for 5 years and now worrying about them until now.

 

Whilst this is going on Ivy has to deal with a murderer who is taking out people she knows or has had dealings with, he is leaving a sadistic calling card by writing on their lower backs – remnants to what happened to Ivy when she was kidnapped, the way in which he kills is gruesome and just the thought of it when reading had me shudder with fear and disgust.

 

There were a few hairy scary, heart in mouth moments that had me going “NOOOOOOO!” leaving me unable to stop reading no matter how late in the night it was – much to the chagrin of hubby!

 

You will not want to put this book down and when it ends you will want to jump straight into the next one – unfortunately we have to wait but I wish I could start it now!


This was a bloody (pun intended) good read! And you begin to get the subtle dots connecting these books to the Alex Troutt books and already I am imagining how Ivy and Alex come together – I am probably way off but I can’t wait to find out! Whilst you can read it as a stand along I recommend you read book 1 to get a feel for Ivy and her background as well as it more in depth than in this book and also we get the first dealings with the kidnapper.
