Skip this one. It is by far my least favorite of the Tracers Series so far. Sophie and Jonah’s romance felt forced and unbelievable. I was also disappointed that at the end of the last book they were supposed to go on a date to a concert and that got completely glossed over in this book . I was hoping their romance would have already kicked off but instead it was just too much back and forth and then mehhh.

Sophie Barret finds her in the middle of a open shooting on a campus, leaving a few dead including the shooter. She is determined to figure out why. She doesn't belive it was a random and senseless act but no one wants to belive her. She teams up with a homicide detective to get to the bottom and of course there is romance.
This book was rather meh, it had potential to be suspenseful and exciting but did not do anything for me and I couldn't see the connection in there romance. Might try out more of Laura Griffin's books but this one wasn't for me

Snapped was another great Tracer series read. I just love these. I love reading how everyone goes about trying to solve the crimes. Even though some of the characters in this story annoyed the bejeezus out of me I still loved reading it.
Snapped is the story of Sophie and Jonah. At the end of the last book Sophie had been kidnapped by the killer and was rescued just in the nick of time by Jonah and the cops. There was something between the two of them even then, but with that incident Jonah didn't want to overstep and try to start something when she is still healing.
When this story opens Sophie is on her way to the local university to sign up for some classes. She wants to try and get a promotion at work so she is trying to take classes to help her career. Only she never makes it to registration as a gunman opens fire. Three people were killed, multiple injured before the gunman killed himself. Sophie was there watching as a pregnant lady died across from her. So not the best time for Sophie. Just trying to get over her abduction and now this.
Jonah is one of the cops that responds to the school shooting and when he sees Sophie there he is worried about her. He likes her, he just might not admit how much even to himself. Now that she is a witness to the shooting he really should stay away. Only he can't.
Sophie was annoying in this story. She treated all men like they only want one thing from her - sex. She also keeps trying to throw herself at Jonah and have sex with him as a way to like repay him for stuff. She is all kinds of messed up in the head, but she frustrated me to no end. I just wanted to be like can't you see how amazing Jonah is? He is so nice to you and obviously doesn't just want a one night stand. You keep trying to use sex with him, and he doesn't take you up on it and you still think the only thing he wants is sex. Argh she was frustrating at times. She has a lot going on and when she remembers seeing something that prevents the police from wrapping up this shooting in a nice little bow she gets in even more trouble. Someone is after here and she doesn't make the smartest decisions. You would think almost getting yourself killed multiple times would make you more cautious, but apparently not with her. She is set against doing what Jonah wants her to do to keep herself safe because...well because she just is.
Jonah gets frustrated with Sophie just like I did. He would get so angry with her and I loved it. Even though he would be furious and was trying to stay away from her romantically since she is a witness and needs protection, he can't help but want to be with her at the same time. His self control is really tested and it was fun to read. He was really a great guy and always trying to do the right thing by Sophie. I loved him.
Through all of that I loved reading about how the cops tried to solve the case. How they try and unravel everything to make the picture complete. I love that stuff. So even though Sophie could really frustrate me, I still loved reading this story. They are so much fun! And intense and sweet and just really great read. I cannot wait to read the next one now.

i loved that the characters are so satisfyingly human in their actions abs lack of foresight. Very keen on continuing with this series.

2.75/5. There were a lot of things that didn’t work for me. I found some of the language around mental health to be problematic. I also wanted more. More details about Sophie and Jonah’s lives, more insight to why they did what they did, and more depth. It was an interesting mystery but not enough to redeem all that was missing. Overall very “meh” with a shrug.
