It was okay...
This one was okay. It just seemed to keep going and going long after it should have ended. The author had Rachel acting more like a male who hated to follow orders rather than a mother looking out for her son. It was quite annoying at times.

Book Review: A Stranger at the Door by Jason Pinter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another 5 star book in this series! I really wish I was as bad ass as Rachel Marin. People totally underestimate her awesomeness! This was a page turner for sure as I needed to know what happened next! I thought the ending was super sweet! I hope more books come out in this series because I am definitely going to get them!!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Publisher. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.A Stranger at the Door by Jason Pinter is a fast-paced, thrilling adventure, which kept me on the seat of my chair.
I absolutely love Rachel. She has a quick wit and the right amount of snark. In this installment, we see another side of Rachel, the protective mother bear. However, when Rachel is in this mod, she isn't her normal prepared and stealthy self.
Some of her more recent past comes back to smack her in the face, or should I say in the back of the head. She comes face to face with Evie and finds out why she moved to Ashby. Rachel also cools down her relationship with Detective John Serano a bit. They have a difference of opinion regarding the law and how John should be doing his job.
There are a group of men exploiting teenage boys. However, they are doing it all within the law. It is scary to think about how this guy is using the boys, but since he does it all legally, there is nothing that law enforcement can do. One of the men isn't as bad as the other, but the enforcers are extreme. I think part of what really hurt Rachel was that her son was targeted because of her actions, but he accepted the deal because he was as damaged as the other boys.
A Stranger at the Door by Jason Pinter is on point, and Rachel stays true to herself under the constant pressure from the outside world. She truly is out to save the underdog. My rating is five stars. This is such a fabulous series. I highly recommend it to all you thriller readers out there.
Will Rachel figure out what is happening in Ashby before her son is involved?

I Like This Author
I really am liking this author and his writing style, but I was not a fan of the main character, Rachel, in this book. I wasn’t crazy about her in the last book either, but this book was worse.
Rachel comes across as a know it all, and tends to think she is above the law and anything pertaining to it, all because the cops did her dirty in the murder of her husband. Her retaliation, and her going around the law to reach justice, is inspiring but at the same time the way she is portrayed is hard to deal with at times.
I can’t wait to read more books from this author.

This book was an excellent read that would leave anyone frantically combing the pages for the next clue. It checked all my boxes: an interesting murder? Check! Someone who is unable to keep their nose out of a mystery? Check! A killer on the loose? CHECK! Even though this was the second book in a series that I am sure will continue to keep people up at night I never felt as if I was missing information that would require me to read the first book before this one. All in all an excellent read and I can't wait to see what comes next!

I loved the first Rachel Marin book and am always excited when there is a sequel to a book I loved. In this book, you get the expected drama and suspense, but you also get a deeper look into a family that has been shattered and put back together, and the cracks are increasingly visible. This is a book about greed and pure evil, but it’s even more about love and the ends we will go to protect those we love. It had my attention from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end!

Rachel Marin is quite the annoying character, but it's so well written that you can't help but root for her.

Like the first Rachel Marin book, this one was more non-stop action! One of the detectives Rachel works with called her ‘a magnet for violence,’ and they may be right.
What an exciting book! It opens with a horrific murder. While the reason the victim was killed is not clear, the details of the crime make it look like a warning to others. The only clue is a vague email to the heroine of this book series, Rachel Marin.
Rachel’s past has forced her to be strong both mentally and physically. When someone who knows some of what she’s been through shows up to tell her not to pursue justice in this case, she’s even more determined to figure out why. Having a character who played a much bigger role in the first book make a surprise appearance here let the reader know that Rachel’s past and present had gotten entangled, something she never wanted to happen.
The second installment in the Rachel Marin series was just as compelling to read as the first. I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars because I couldn’t put it down until all the motives were uncovered and crimes were solved. It was satisfying to see that while Rachel’s thirst for justice sometimes required a bit of vigilante action, she was also willing to let some wrongs be forgotten in the interest of what is truly right.
