Review: Seven - Jane Blythe

Review: Seven - Book #7 Count to Ten Series - Jane Blythe - February 2019The Count to Ten Series is one of the best mystery series I have read as each book follows the same set of people and each story connects one way or another. Seven focuses on Daisy Xander who is married to Mark Xander whose brother is Detective Ryan Xander and his partner is Paige Edwards. Still, following? The book starts with a runaway being kidnapped and taken to a place where she is about to discover she is being used as part of a baby trafficking business, after four babies - the girls are put to death as apparently after four births it becomes a bit harder for the females to procreate and survive childbirth. The book then jumps forward to the present time where we read as the local school principal is murdered and tortured. Daisy and Mark's youngest son is the one to find the body. We also learn that Daisy walked out on her family without any explanation. Is it connected to the principal's murder? As more people are tortured and murdered, it looks like Daisy knows more than she is letting on and soon she will spill about her past and family history to Mark and Ryan Xander. Can the police keep Daisy safe as it seems like she will be the last victim on their hit list of Seven? As usual, Seven was another fabulous read by Jane Blythe and OMG that ending and the final chapter as it seems not all parties in the trafficking game were killed. One of my favorite things about this series is the fact that we get to see the same characters over and over again and see how they are getting along in their lives. I have to admit though out of all the characters, I feel so sorry for Paige as she always seems to get the short stick and suffer the consequences of being partners with Ryan and friends with his wife Sofia, etc.  Stay tuned for the next book in the Count to Ten Series - Eight by Jane Blythe.
