Three couples missing and then turning up dead in an exclusive resort has Kara and Matt undercover as danger looms for them.

My Rating for Make It Out Alive: 5 Stars and a Recommended Series.

My Review of Make It Out Alive:

Three couples disappeared from an exclusive Florida resort only to turn up dead a few days later. Is there a killer hunting the resort or is there something else going on? It takes Kara Quinn, Matt Costa and their FBI Mobile Response Team to figure out the clues and make sure that no other couple goes missing. When an undercover operation goes wrong, with Kara and Matt missing, the team races against the clock to find them as if they have anything to go on, they're going to run out of time fast. The FBI Response team is thrust in a deadly game of cat and mouse as they race to find their kidnapped colleagues & friends as danger bears down on them.

Wow is all I can say after devouring this wonderful twisty thrill ride from start to finish. Allison Brennan delivers a tour de force in MAKE IT OUT ALIVE and it delivers everything I love in a triller: complex characters, a fast paced storyline and a few twists I don't see coming. With each page in MAKE IT OUT ALIVE I was drawn further into the story and was racing alongside everyone to see where the killer(s) would lead us. The writing is top notch and I love this author's books. Allison Brennan doesn't disappoint especially as this is book six in the series. It feels fresh and exciting rather than weak and tired. I love how each book in the series is a different setting, different case and the characters grow with each book. 

Kara and Matt are posing undercover as newly married couple as three couples have gone missing from an exclusive resort and Kara has similarities to the three women who went missing. I loved how the author keeps giving the readers interesting looks into each of the characters. They aren't a one note character, they have many layers and are each are unique. What I love about this author is how complex these characters are. They literally are so well written, they feel like they are going to jump off the page and into my living room with me. The secondary characters are just as interesting and multilayered as well. This is an author who knows how to create a masterpiece of a story filled with intriguing characters and so much more to engage the readers.


MAKE IT OUT ALIVE is one hell of a book and a perfect addition to the Quinn and Costa series. I highly recommend reading from the first book, The Third to Die as it gives the reader a chance to meet all the main characters in the FBI Mobile Response team. This is one of my favorite authors and I can not wait to see where she goes next for this series. I look forward to seeing what she has in store for them next.
