Out in the middle of nowhere she enjoys her time alone and time to regroup. This is a new author for me and I'm looking forward to reading another of her books. If you like romantic suspense check it out. This is the first book in the series with book 2 coming out in March. The danger that they were all in when it came to a conclusion was suspenseful and unexpected. I felt sad for MJ's mother who was starting to have signs of dementia. But I understood it with the PTSD that both were dealing with.

MJ and Josh's relationship was a bit frustrating. MJ's frustration in trying to find Kelsey when nobody would believe that she was missing was clear and intense. I enjoyed the mystery that INTO THE FOG had. Neither is ready for a relationship nor are they ready for the feelings that develop for each other. Both MJ and Josh are dealing with PTSD and both have an aversion of being together. Josh recognizes MJ from their time serving in Afghanistan. When Kelsey disappears MJ is sure foul play is involved and she is just as determined to find out what happened to Kelsey. Kelsey is nice, but very secretive and will only share tiny tidbits of information about herself with MJ.

MJ has moved to a small Oklahoma town to help her mother out with her peach orchard. But alas, only two books were written and it looks like fans will never know how Jarod's life proceeded after Island of the Haunted. Anyway, all of that aside, I still liked the story and the only thing I can think is that the books were supposed to continue more than the two that were written and eventually catch up to the ending of the TV series and let us know how it all ends. Sydney is his usual psycho-babbling self and Broots doesn't even exist! Which is irritating. Unfortunately that is not the case! This book just re-packages the beginning of the series. So I was prepared for this book to start where the last movie left off. Then I saw after watching the series on DVD again that there was supposed to be some books written that had answers to all of our burning questions of what happened next to the Pretender. It of course ended on a cliffhanger with no answers or conclusions for Jarod. It has been years since the series ended.
