Can you imagine me, screaming with joy on the inside because I got approved as ARC Reader for Robert Bryndza’s new Erika Foster book called “Chasing Shadows”? Because I did, I might have even applauded for a bit.

There are obvious trigger warnings in this book like gun usage and graphic injuries.

I am a huuuuuge Erika fan, from the first book on, this series has been thrilling. It’s that good that you want to keep reading. This being the 9th book in this serie already and is set to be released on the 5th of June. Erika Foster has been through a lot, her husband and colleagues being murdered and her being shot in the neck 10 years prior, her relocating to a new city and new police station to start anew.

This book takes you back to what happened 10 years prior and how a present case is intertwined with that cold case in particular. Getting stonewalled, suspended and threatened. Nothing stops Erika from finding out what happened, what went wrong all those years ago and how those cases are connected.

How can Jerome, the suspect from the shooting 10 years ago be called Kieron now? Erika is a 100% sure he’s Jerome but proving so seems to be very difficult as Jerome seems to be 20 steps ahead at al time. But make no mistake, once Erika cracks the code in how he seems to be getting ahead with her getting nowhere nothing stops her from uncovering the truth. Not even a suspension. But the end, it will have you spinning, I really did not see the end coming and I think you won’t either.

I really love love loooove this serie BUT when thinking back at the first book, they seem to get a little less action packed and thrilling as the serie progresses. It’s still a very good book, but when I look at the whole of this serie, there is a small decline with every book that’s been released.

It’s a solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐ star from me though.
