Vanishing Act

BOTTOM-LINE: A great first book in the series, Whitefield is awesome . PLOT OR PREMISE: Jane Whitefield is a Seneca woman living in NY state. She honours her ancestors and helps those who are in trouble to disappear and start a new life. . WHAT I LIKED: The premise of the main character's "job" of helping people escape bad situations and start a new life -- serving as their guide -- is a fantastic premise, and the first half of the book is primarily about how she goes about doing her job. While some clients are eased into the process a bit more gradually, her latest client is all-in from day 1. . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: You know as the story unfolds that something is going to go wrong, you just don't know what or when. Despite some initial success, some of it seems even TOO easy for her to do with a minimum of fuss. Mid-book, the type of story changes considerably, as the hunted becomes the hunter, and it isn't as good as her other books that have a bit more mystery to them rather than action. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow him / her on social media.

Audio- i guessed who was the bad guy pretty quickly. Didn't she get that there where just too many questions ? Well surprise, surprise, that wasn't the big mystery. The real mystery comes after we know who and then why. ARGUH, I was on the edge of my seat screaming for her. The pacing of the book, the action, the intrigue all top notch mystery. Jane Whitefield, a Native American type of guide, a strong independent women, steeped in her families traditions. She thanks her ancestors,she thinks of the lessons taught to her, and uses them in her everyday life. I loved the Native American heritage that she respected and remembered. She brought her tribes history with her and did not sway from who she is to fit. Her fight to right what was done is dangerous and she never thinks to quit, this path is to the death. Excellent narration - I will continue on with the series.

I love this writer..everybook is so fun to read. I get excited whenever I see a new book come out.
