Model Investigator<\/a><\/em> (2017) Lissa Kasey<\/a> (Haven Investigations)<\/p>\n

\"Model<\/a>Back to Ollie, this book takes off after the events of the previous book–which ended on a cliffhanger.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, this is one of the few mysteries I’ve ever read that actually has characters deal with some of the real-life consequences of repeated concussion.<\/p>\n

The sparkles around the edges of my vision were sort of becoming the norm. I didn\u2019t really notice them much anymore unless I was trying to find something and got distracted by them, like I was in that moment as I stood in my bedroom closet. It was like if I stared long enough at the edges, the sparkle would fade. Only it never did, it sort of intensified the longer I focused on it, eating away at my vision until eventually I\u2019d lose use of at least one eye. Sometimes both.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ollie’s second serious concussion only a few months after his previous causes serious and long-term damage. <\/p>\n

Also, the mystery continues. I’ve barely mentioned the mystery in these reviews, because I love the interactions and relationships in these stories so very much, but the mystery is also worth noting. Here Ollie is trying to figure out why everyone thinks Kade was a monster who beat people up and tortured animals. <\/p>\n

But as with the previous books, Kade and Ollie are still trying to protect each other from their struggles.<\/p>\n

It was a bad feeling, knowing the depression had crept up and was already drowning me before I had realized it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once again, as soon as I finished this book I bought the next and immediately started reading.<\/p>\n
