Okay, that's it; I've decided that I want to read every single book that Laura Griffin has written. So far, I've read two of her books this year, and they were both such easy five-stars! She introduced me to romantic suspense and is a pro at writing for that genre. Griffin's writing is uncomplicated and always feels natural, with well-developed and believable characters.

I made the mistake of starting Vanishing Hour before bed one night, and I couldn't put it down. The whole book was like that, I'd swear I had only been reading 10 minutes and it had actually been an hour.

The Vanishing Hour combines romance, suspense, and action flawlessly. I loved the characters and, of course, the dog (btw, do not worry, nothing happens to Hank). The chemistry between Ava and Grant could be felt through the pages, and I genuinely appreciate that Griffin didn't make me wait until the end for something to happen between the two.

🤩 Combination of romance, suspense, and action
👌🏼 A storyline that feels real
🐕‍🦺 Hank (the search & rescue dog)
🔥 Chemistry between Ava and Grant
📖 Easy to sit and get lost in the book


I highly recommend adding Vanishing Hour to your reading list. The other book from Griffin that I loved was Midnight Dunes (another 5-star).
