REVIEW: Hello Goodbye written by Kay Bratt is her seventh installment of the Hart’s Ridge series. I know I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…This is the BEST book in the series. Honestly, this series gets better and better. Originally there were only going to be eight books but, I’ve recently heard that she is going to continue this series for a while. They will be coming out at a little slower pace. She has been writing and releasing books at a wild pace. I don’t blame her a bit for slowing down and never worry, I will let you know when a new one releases.

This book, just like the last one, left me with my mouth hanging open. I couldn’t believe that she just left me (and everyone else) hanging out to dry like that. I know I have a while to wait for the next book and I know I just said I didn’t blame her for slowing down but, Holy Cow! 

This book sees Taylor grappling with her past and her present. Sam is helping her find closure to a painful chapter in her life. She does find closure (I think) but, so much more damage is done to not only her but also her family. Sam is dealing with news of his own and Taylor doesn’t know how to accept what has happened to Sam. 

From the minute I picked up this book until I finished it, I could not put it down. I always seem to run into the next day and when I do my dreams are filled with scenarios of what is to come. This book was not any different. There is so much I want to tell you about this book and I just can’t. I don’t want to spoil your fun and give too much away. My heart was broken for a few of the characters and soared for others. This book is packed and you will definitely want to know what has happened to a few of the characters we met in the past.

If you like police and detective books, a little romance, family interactions and small town living you will enjoy this series. There are characters in this series that I will always remember and those that will always hold a piece of my heart. This is truly a special series that I highly recommend. This is Kay’s first foray into this genre but you would never know it. I think she has surpassed her wildest dreams with Hart’s Ridge! So, Until next time…Happy Reading!
