In the fourth Widow’s Island novella by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot, the truth of a twenty-year disappearance will finally come to light.
When the town drunk ends up dead in a hit-and-run, FBI special agent Cate Wilde expects that solving the case will be cut and dried. But evidence quickly surfaces that the victim was involved with another crime. A crime that has gone cold for twenty years. A crime of personal importance to Cate.
Cate’s best friend, Samantha, went missing at fourteen, leaving behind nothing except a jacket and an island full of unanswered questions. Samantha’s disappearance has haunted Cate for more than half her life, and she might finally be able to find some closure.
But not everything is as it seems. As Cate unravels what happened on that fateful day, she’ll discover that the community of Widow’s Island is full of secrets. Betrayed by someone she thought she knew, Cate will need to piece together the truth…before someone else gets hurt.

Vikki’s Musings
I always know I’m in for a treat with a new release from Kendra Elliott. When I received an invitation from the publisher, via Net-Galley, I eagerly agreed to read and review Bred in the Bone. My opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way.
As with all of Kendra Elliot’s books, the characters are real and flawed, the plot is intriguing and there’s plenty of emotions running high. One of the things I enjoy most about her books is the suspenseful scenes. Her action scenes are graphic and send chills through me. She has a way of keeping me on the edge of my seat from the first page until the last.
At last, Cate has a good lead on her best friend’s disappearance twenty years ago. While Cate isn’t completely recovered from her ordeal a few months ago, she goes after these new clues determined to ignore her fear when approaching a door of a possible criminal.
I loved her tenacity, and that she will not give up until she learns what happened to Samantha. Her romance with the good doctor has progressed and is on solid footing. Will she return to her life as an FBI agent, or will she give it up for Henry?
If you enjoy romantic thrillers with amazing characters, and so much action your heart is pumping fast, then you will love Bred in the Bone. This one has a great ending that I enjoyed a great deal. Widow’s Island is a great series, and I look forward to reading the next one in this series. Happy reading!
