It continues the adventures of Willow and Cooper. At the end of the previous book, Willow decided to accompany a stranger hoping to gather information on her father’s whereabouts. However, this decision would lead her in danger, which had the potential to end her life. \n\nAt the start of Vanish, Cooper is struggling with Willow’s decision. He refused to let it slide and decided he would go search for her. Cooper is a magnet for trouble, so it came as no surprise when he was attacked by a strange man outside of a bar. To make matters worse the man chose to kill himself instead of answering Cooper's questions. As a result he is on the run from the law and the people who want to hurt him. Aided by beautiful, but deadly woman, he would find himself in the middle of a dangerous situation. Will he be able to find Willow before it is too late?\n\nMefford weaved a fast-paced spine tingling and nerve-wracking tale, which never gave me a chance to catch my breath. Action, suspense and danger could be found at every turn of the page. Chase after endless chase with no end in sight. The addition of a new slew of characters made things more interesting. Differentiating between the good and the bad guys proved to be a difficult task for Willow and Cooper, which placed them in a precarious situation. However, to find their way back to each other, while eluding their enemies they had to place their trust in strangers and hope for the best.\n\nIn the midst of the danger, there were some funny moments, which helped to lighten the mood somewhat.\n\nThe author did a great job of depicting the emotions of the characters. Willow struggled with her decisions and was remorseful about the danger she brought to the door of persons who came to her assistance. Cooper’s regret of not telling Willow of his true feelings stood out.\n\nThis latest ordeal may have ended, but their troubles are not over. There are still unanswered questions and the danger is ever present. \n\nConclusion\u002FRecommendation\nVanish is another exciting and suspenseful addition to the series. I wait with bated breath for Escape, the next installment, where the adventures of Ball and Chain continues. Fans of suspense and thrillers will get a kick out of this series.","none","rv-01kxpy00y0s78tzrgs6sq90cwp",[],{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":84,"per_page":85,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":15},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxpy00hhnt7yvng2nxk1aw4y\u002Freviews",20]
