About this ebook

A New York Times bestseller, Hide Away is an explosive Eve Duncan novel from Iris Johansen

DARK SECRETS

World-famous forensic sculptor Eve Duncan has landed in a well-guarded hospital room in Carmel, California. But hidden danger looms for Eve, her beloved Joe Quinn, and Cara Delaney, the young girl they’ve both sworn to protect. With Cara’s enemies on the move, Eve has no choice but to flee the hospital—no matter what the doctors say. Her protective instincts in full gear, she decides that their best chance of survival is to get out of the country. She turns to her daughter, Jane MacGuire, for help.

DESPERATE MEASURES

For years, Jane has been avoiding pressure to find a treasure thought to be buried in Scotland—but she’s finally succumbed to John MacDuff’s pleas to track it down. Eve and Cara join Jane in the remote mountains, but soon realize that nowhere is far enough away from the ruthless predators who are on their trail. . .

Ratings and reviews

In this Eve Duncan installment we get Jane, MacDuff, Jock, Caleb and Joe helping Eve to protect Cara. They are in Edinburgh trying to find Ciara's treasure but things go very wrong. You will find out why Jenny and Cara were kidnapped. You will also find out who all was behind the plot and why. Still danger, suspense, action packed and a few surprises.

Hide Away by Iris Johansen picks up where Shadow Play ends. Eve Duncan is in the hospital after killing Walsh who was after Cara. Eve and Joe will do anything they can to protect Cara from Salazar. Salazar is determined to kill Cara to get even with her father, Juan Castino. Castino is the kingpin of a drug cartel in Mexico City. Salazar already had Cara’s sister, Jenny murdered as well as their caretaker, Elena Pasquez. After Eve is released from the hospital, they head home to Atlanta. They soon discover that Salazar has a new assassin, Ramon Franco on their tail. Eve and Cara book a private plane and head to Scotland. Jane MacGuire, Eve’s adopted daughter, has accepted a job Lord John MacDuff, Earl of Cannaught (and a Laird). MacDuff has been trying to get Jane to Cira’s treasure for years. Jane has finally agreed (she had dreams of Cira as a teenager). Eve and Cara will hide out in Scotland with MacDuff, Jane, Jock Gavin, and Seth Caleb. But what do they do what Franco and Salazar pick up their trail? What will these people do to keep Cara safe? Hide Away was an extreme disappointment. When I finished the book, the one thought I had was it was pointless (the book). If you have not read Shadow Play, you can catch up (for the most part) in Hide Away (it does rehash what happened in Shadow Play). I was hoping that Cara's story would be completed in this novel. Unfortunately, it was not. We are left with another cliffhanger. I will not be reading the next book (except maybe to look at in a bookstore to see how it ends). Hide Away contains guns, violence (extreme), machete, IED's, and much more. There is one surprise or twist that some people will not see coming (unless you paid attention close attention to the clues). I just did not enjoy Hide Away (but that is just me). I give Hide Away 3 out of 5 stars. It is okay, but not great (I wanted a gripping suspense thriller). The writing did not flow well. It jumped around. The pace was good, but I just did not feel that we gained any ground in this book. I received a complimentary copy of Hide Away from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review of the novel.

A CAN'T put it down!!!Awesome read as usual..can't wait until July for next installment of Eve Duncan and Joe Quinn...love Iris Johansen as much as James Patterson and that's saying something!!love them both!
