Four is another great book in the Count to Ten series! I seriously couldn't wait to read it! I love all the characters in this series, so it's always nice to see old characters appear in each book. I have to say I wasn't a complete fan of Jack at first. He hurts Laura when he was younger, and while she does eventually forgive him, I give her props for doing so. Because I would have a hard time doing it. Well, what am I talking about?! hahaha You gotta read the book to find out because I'm not giving spoilers away. Regardless, Jack finally got me to like him and this story has such great mystery and suspense that it was difficult to put down. (Meaning, I didn't put it down until I was finished. Lol) I really liked Laura and felt for her and how difficult it had to be to deal with her trauma from her past. Another great book in this series. Looking forward to Five!

Once again Jane Blythe did it!! Awesome read. On the edge of my seat guessing who I thought who could it be. Can’t wait to read Five. After reading the fourth book in this series, I want to read more in this genre. I love it that much.

This is such a great series and I love that each one is unique and has it’s own spin to tie everything to the past but still move on with it’s own series.
Jack was such a good character as he had his flaws, especially in the past. That being said he had grown into a good detective but was puzzled by the murders that seemed to keep coming from the apartment building. He was so sorry for the mistakes that he made in the past and I was shocked that he knew nothing about what had happened to Laura.
Laura was a super interesting character as she lived with such an immense fear but at the same time she was super strong willed. I loved that she had her guard up still when it came to Jack and was not about to let him talk her into anything that she did not want to do. As you learn more about what she went through in the past your heart just breaks and I was so glad she got away but it was obvious her horror was not over yet.
I was definitely shocked about who the killer turned out to be and why. He was definitely cruel and misguided in his attempt for some sort of revenge.
I was sad at the end for sure with what happened but I was glad that Laura was safe and hopefully with the help of Sofia and Annabelle she will be able to overcome her fears.

Four by Jane Blythe is the fourth book in the Count to Ten series and it is one of my favourite series. Reading these books in order is a must. Four, as with the others in the series is a gripping and terrifying tale. Jane has the knack for writing this genre and keeps you guessing what is going to happen. Just when you think you know, BAM, she throws in a twist full of suspense and action, you didn’t see coming. I love a story that keeps me guessing right until the very end and Jane never disappoints.
Laura has spent the last 10 years of her life living as a prisoner, a prisoner of her own making but by circumstances not of her making. She is living in hell but nothing like the hell and torture she was put through all those years ago. A hell she never thought she would live through. A hell that was so gruesome she was completely broken, one that has still left her completely broken. One where she is a shell of a person barely living, a ghost who is barely surviving.
Detective Jack Zander and his partner Detective Rose Lace are called to a case where a murder has been committed. What at first seems to be a single crime turns out to be part of something much bigger than any of the thought.
But how everything is connected? Will they learn the identity of the person they need to protect before it is too late?
Jane Blythe is a master at weaving a great story. The pain and horror that the characters go through bring out extremely intense emotions. As with all Jane's books, this is one you will not want to walk away from.
