Synopsis (Goodreads):

Reporter Michael Brody is used to getting answers. The one that’s eluded him, though, for twenty long years is learning what happened to his brother Daniel the day his school bus disappeared. When the remains of the other children are discovered—and Daniel’s aren’t among them—a desperate Michael calls upon the sole survivor of the tragedy, Chris Jacobs, hoping he will finally break his silence.

Constant fear of being found by his kidnapper has driven Chris into hiding. The only lead Michael has is Chris’s sister, Jamie. Strong and impenetrable, she’s capable of burrowing deep into Michael’s heart. As they race to find Chris, Michael and Jamie somehow find each other among the decades of wreckage. But locating Chris may not be so easy. Now grown, his scars go far deeper than skin.

In Buried, the next thrilling Bone Secrets novel from bestselling author Kendra Elliot, a damaged hero digs deep into his terrifying past…and unearths a chance at love for the future.

Thoughts on Buried: I kinda love these books. There's always at least one twist I don't see coming and I just...WHOA. Okay. I'm totally on-board with that. More than just on-board. Bouncing in my seat in an OMG type of way.

But let's not talk about twists and turns and other nefarious things. Let's talk about Michael and Jamie. We met Michael in Lacey's book and he's driven. Still. The guy has focus and drive. He pushes and cajoles and gets answers where it seems like there are no answers to be found. You could almost label his actions manipulative, but...they're not really. He's disarmingly honest. His brother's disappearance makes him seek out the truth and he goes to heroic lengths to find it.

Jamie is utterly disarmed by him. In a good way. For all he's pushing her for answers to where her brother is, he has his reasons and she can understand them. And when she gets pulled into the crazy stalking Chris, he's the first person she reaches out to. Because, you know, she trusts him. Even after only a brief meeting.

I'm genuinely enjoying this series. The crimes the characters are investigating/drawn into are creepy and compelling. The characters themselves make me want to cheer as they work their way through the trail o breadcrumbs leading to the bad guy. AND THOSE TWISTS. Love 'em.

I'm absolutely ready for more.
