I should start by saying this is the first book I have read in this story, so I am a little bit out of order when it comes to Ruby Jane, Peter, and Skin. This book was okay, but the jumping back and forth between part 1 and part 2, and then the extra skipping around in part 2 was really distracting and frustrating. The story was interesting, but I wish there would have been more story that related to the ending - again, maybe something I had missed because I did not read the first two books. I am intrigued enough to read both the first two books in the series if they become available as an e-book at a reasonable price. Overall, an interesting story, but the timeline used in the book took so much away from it that all I could give it was 3 stars.

interesting story. the end sort of leaves a bit to be desired since there isn't a complete resolution, but overall pretty good. at times the varying perspectives and time jumping are a bit hard to follow.

It was a freebie on Kindle, so I tried it, not having read any of the others in the series. It was a (retired) police procedural. Slow to start, and at first I wasn't sure what the mystery was, but it picked up as I got into it.

This book was good, the narrative went in a direction I wasn't expecting, but it gave the book a depth that it wouldn't otherwise have had. A good page turner, a bit of an adventure/mystery novel, but mostly character driven.

Was a tad slow and at times difficult to track story line. Ends abruptly.

I wish I could give this book 3.5 stars. I'm conflicted...I couldn't put it down and thought the story was well composed, but the changes in the timeline occasionally left me confused that one character didn't know what we just learned in the previous chapter. I also found it hard to picture some of the central characters. I think their literal voices were distinct during dialog, but I had no clear visual image of them, and I'm more visual than auditory.
I got this as a free Kindle book, but all in all, I'd buy the book. However, I wouldn't tell anyone to put it at the top of their to-read list.

Skin Kadash is a former cop. He was recovering from a gun shot wound, only to learn that his girlfriend, Ruby Jane Whittaker has gone missing. What had Ruby gotten herself into? When Skin goes to Ruby’s apartment to find any sort of clue as to where Ruby is, Skin finds a dead man in Ruby’s bath tub. Skin decides to start off at Pete McKrall’s place. Pete is Ruby’s former boyfriend. On one hand, Skin hopes that he does not find Ruby with Pete but on the other hand if she is there than he and Ruby will have to figure out where they are in their relationship.
County Line is the first book I have read by this author. I could tell that these were reoccurring characters when I first starting reading this book. It started out with Skin staying at a quiet, retreat where he was recovering from a near fatal gunshot wound. Though, I have not read any of the previous books, I was able to reading this book with no problems. Skin really made this book for me. He is like a modern day outlaw. He takes no bull and does not hold back. Ruby could hold her own with Pete and Skin. I liked this because if Ruby was a weak female than I would not have felt the connection between Skin and her and wanted Skin to find her. This book is split into several different parts. The first part is about Skin and him trying to find Ruby. The next section flashes back in time to Ruby and her past to help clue the reader into what Ruby is hiding and running from. The last section brings the reader back to the present and tries all the loose ends up nicely. Fans of a good suspense/mystery novel will enjoy this book.

Completely overwritten. This would have been better as a short story. You really have to slog through about 200 pages before it gets decent.

Absolutely loved this book - couldn't put it down. The story definitely did not go down like I expected, which just made me enjoy it that much more. Well done, Mr. Cameron!
