You gotta be kidding

This is actually a good series of books. Moves a little slow. Not a lot of depth to it, but for easy reading it’s really a good story. However. As I have ranted before, a teaser after a few chapters and having to go through the nightmare of reloading the next book from Amazon is ridiculous.

So Julia is being stalked by a mysterious stranger who clearly means her harm, her house has been ransacked and almost everything she held near and dear has been destroyed, a reporter with less than zero scruples is just making up stories about her involvement and wrongly pointing the finger at her, she is starting to think Frank was involved with the mob and where Frank is is no longer a mystery. Brody is feeling the pressure from his boss and the Mayor and the list of questions keeps getting longer with no answers in sight. So it is no longer where is Frank, but who killed him him, is Julia safe and what the heck was he hiding all of these years?

This is the continuation of the mystery of the disappearance of
of Julia's husband.

Brody's boss is feeling the heat from the Mayor and wants this
investigation completed by the end of the week.

There is a newspaper reporter that has been printing articles
that she is just surmising are factual, making Julia look
guilty of her husband's disappearance.

There was a break in of Julie's house, where the house was
completely ransacked and damaging everything in the house.

Broy's daughter is helping Julie with the clean up.

The investigation continues - with more questions than answers.

Can't wait to get Book 6.

[Carmela Dimattia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had me in suspense. The mystery continues and we are still left curious as to what could have happened to Frank Masterson. Once again we are left with more questions as this book leaves us with a cliff hanger but the next book promises to be quite the reveal. Julia's house is ransacked and we meet a mysterious stranger but wonder why he has the need to abduct Julia and what exactly it is that he is trying to find out. Cannot wait for the next book. A great mystery.

Author, Sage Parker is turning up the heat in this installment of Hidden in the Keys.
Julia’s oceanfront home has been ransacked and her belongings and furniture has been destroyed almost beyond repair. A reporter is continuing in her crusade to make Julia responsible for Julia’s husband’s disappearance; if not murder and a man is following Julia in order to kidnap her, or worse.
Looking forward to reading the conclusion in Book 6! I received an advanced copy of this book from the author and Booksprout. The comments and review are my honest opinion.

This book continues the story of Julia and Brody as the desperately search for her missing husband Frank. When they return from Ohio, Julia finds her home has been searched from an unknown source. Investigative leads are pointing to Frank being involved with the mob. Julia is in increasing danger as she is being watched by a strange man. A reporter continues to write false innuendos about her murdering her husband. The book ends in a cliffhanger.

After Brody and Julia return from Ohio, they find Julia’s house has been vandalized and someone was looking for something! Could it be the book that Brody now has that was supposed to go to Julia? Whatever kind of business Frank was in, it’s a secret he kept from everyone? Did Frank not want children with Julia because he already had three? Who is following Julia and trying to snatch her? Can’t wait to find out all the answers.

The suspense and danger increase
Julia and Brody are still working in harmony trying to figure how and why her husband disappeared. With each bit of information they glean there is a corresponding threat to Julia’s safety. More characters come to the fore that substantiate the mob connection theory even Julia can no longer ignore. Now for the hard part, the wait for the next book.

Julia comes home to find her home has been ransacked. Brody’s daughter Becky offers to help Julia with clean up. A bunch of Julia’s neighbors come to help too. Then Julia gets some news. I absolutely love this series. Sage Parker writes such great books. She has a good mix of characters that you love and characters that you are not fond. Each book is clean and you can read it in an afternoon.

I was given this advanced copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Well now that we know where Frank is the real mystery behind the why begins.. OMG, this is soooo good and getting better by the book. I cannot wait for the conclusion to bring the story all together. I also hope that Julia gets a HEA for all she has been through. My heart goes out to her. The suspense is killing me!!!

I received this book for free as an ARC reader via Booksprout and my reviews are my own.

Danger is coming to Julia!

This story is getting so unexpected with the guy with the dark hair constantly following Julia he seems dangerous he wants to get her for some reason he trashed her house looking for something. Also Julia keeps finding out about her husbands crazy life she knew nothing about. And that their marriage was a phony one just to keep his inheritance. I'm going to be reading the last book soon.

[Christine Goodnough · Rating 5 out of 5]

These novellas are all part of the same story, each a quick read where the plot thickens yet more and more. In this book we finally find out where Frank disappeared to, but not how or why. Meanwhile, a "dark haired man" is frustrated in his plan to kidnap Julia. Book 6 will have to reveal what actually happened to Frank and what the dark-haired stranger thinks he'll find out from Julia--if his kidnapping is successful.

Dead or Alive

Frank's body was swept up on the sand from the ocean. Someone is still trying to kill Julia, afraid she knows too much from Frank's illegal business. Brody is always at Julia's side, thwarting this plan to kill Julia. Anxious for the answers and ending to this suspenseful, interest grabbing series, lots of suspense. A good, exciting storyline.

Mystery Continues

The mystery continues of Where is Frank. Frank has mysteriously disappeared and Julia’s house has been broken into. The answers are coming in. This was a great read that will have you on the edge of your seat. Looking forward to reading the next book to see what happened

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 5th book in the series and I’m really enjoying these short reads that leave you hanging. I think the two main characters are well written and the story keeps your attention. I look forward to reading the next one to see what is going to happen next now that they found a body on the beach.

[Donna · Rating 2 out of 5]

I feel like I lost brain cells reading this book but somehow had to see what happened. Way to take one novel and story and make it six ridiculous short stories. Also, very poor grammar. Use “me” not I after a preposition . From Becky and me- not Becky and I. Author did this repeatedly and it drove me crazy.

Julia and Brody returned from Ohio to find that her beach house had been ransacked. A dark haired man was following Julia around town. Can't wait until the next book comes out bringing this mystery to an end.

I received an ARC, and this is my honest opinion.

Lot’s of revelations!

The storyline has picked up and there’s been lots of revelations. Brody and Julia are getting closer. Julia gets some disturbing news. I’m excited for the end of this story.

Sage Parker.

She writes a good story, but i hate that you get into the story and then have to buy the next book to continue. I will not be reading any more of her books for that reason.

[Linda Hall · Rating 3 out of 5]

Whoa that was some ending!

That wasn't the ending I was expecting! Love this series so much and now there's only one book left! Almost want to put off reading the rest so it lasts longer!
