Karen Robards- The Last Time I Saw Her

I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this book and I've been on the holds list at the library. After completing a few other books, it was finally time to dive into Charlie and Michael's world. I was sucked in immediately and I didn't want to put this book down. However, I had to at times but this is a book I could have easily read in 1 sitting, had I had the time. Karen's characters are interesting, realistic (as realistic as a ghost can be!), lovely and completely captivating. 

Over the series of these books, we know Michael, Tony, Charlie, Tam, Buzz and Lena. Charlie seems to find all the crazies and this book had it in abundance. I found myself on the edge of my seat and worried for Charlie. I hoped Karen wouldn't disappoint! I have always loved Michael and his relationship with Charlie. They just fit together and he's always trying to be the hero. This book catipulted their relationship and Charlie couldn't hide how she felt about him. The end was gut wrenching and I didn't see that coming!!! But wowwww! Karen completed their story so spectacularly that it brought a few tears to my eyes. It was perfect. 

If you haven't read any of Charlie and Michael's books, you must start at the beginning  (The Last Victim) before reading this book or the relationships won't mean much to you. These books are unlike any others I have read and if you saw my mention of ghost and said, yeah right, then think again. These books are so well written and have many twists and turns, you too will find yourself lost in their world. 





In the sizzling new novel from New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards, Dr. Charlie Stone must prove the innocence of a dangerously sexy condemned man, or lose her one chance at true love.

THE LAST TIME I SAW HER

In this world, Dr. Charlotte “Charlie” Stone skillfully probes the twisted minds of incarcerated serial killers to better understand what makes them tick, and to help nab those who remain at large. But in the next world, Charlotte’s ghostly lover—convicted killer Michael Garland—is facing death yet again. It seem the only way Charlie can snatch Michael from the jaws of oblivion is by proving his innocence. And this dead man’s dead ringer may just be the key.

A mysterious stranger has turned up in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, and Charlie is shocked to realize he could be Michael Garland’s identical twin. But she suspects the resemblance is only skin deep—and that behind the handsome face may lurk the perverse mind of a killer. While using all her keen profiling gifts, Charlie risks her life to discover the shocking secret that will clear Michael’s name.

Then a breakout at Wallens Ridge State Prison forces Charlie to contend with a sudden swarm of psychopaths bent on spilling blood. No one has a better chance of tracking down the deadly fugitives than Charlie—unless the rampaging killers manage to find her first and make this case her last. But Michael will move heaven and hell—and even make a devil’s bargain—for the chance to save Charlie’s life, and feel her touch once more . . . if only for the final time.
