Running Target is the fourth book in the Coldwater Bay Intrigue series, but can completely stand on its own. This story has only occasional references to the fact that the main character, Quinn, is the brother that has been off the grid and mentioned in the previous novels of the series. Those who have read the other books will be interested to find out what trouble Quinn has found himself in.
This book has lots of action and the two main characters must work together to survive, even though they have a painful past. I struggled to connect with Bree and Quinn for some reason. I was frustrated with them for most of the story, as they both seemed to make mistakes that more seasoned officers would not make. However, it was nice to see them get through everything and to wrap up the series.
(3.5 stars)
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
