Another amazing book by Lisa Regan in the Josie Quinn series. As usual it gripped me from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. Fast paced and exciting storyline and almost heartbreaking towards the end. There were some red herrings thrown in so I didn’t guess the murderer at all which is the sign of a great book. If you have missed this series you have certainly missed out on a treat. I highly recommend this book and the whole series. Can’t wait for the next instalment!!

Thanks netgalley and Lisa Regan for another great story with Detective Josie Quinn.
All her books are based on murderers and this one was just as exciting, though it really did not really exciting until the middle of the book. This murderer wanted to kill anyone who had upset him or her
And I never worked out who the killer was.

What can I say... Breathe Your Last by Lisa Regan is another excellent book featuring Josie Quinn. This is book 10 and just as great as every other book before it.  People are starting to die or get hurt and Josie quickly determines they are all linked... but how and who is responsible?  Can Josie and her team figure this out in time or will the body count continue to rise... potentially affecting those Josie cares about?  Another hit by Lisa Regan.

My Review:

Wow, wow, wow this is a series you definitely don’t want to miss out on. This is the tenth book in the series and it was by far the best yet. I can’t tell you how much I love this author and this series. I do want to let you know you can read this book along with the others as a stand alone. I’ve done it and have had no problems following what is going on. 

This book of course featured the fabulous Detective Josie Quinn solving yet another case. This time is was a swimmer found dead in the pool. But that’s not all. As the case further progresses there are more deaths along the way. Can Josie and her team solve these cases before there are even more murders? Are all these cases linked together and how? Who would commit such a crime? You find out this and so much more by the end of the book. 

I want to start out by saying that I love Lisa Regans books and hope she writes so many more especially in the Josie Quinn Series. I love the way she writes every character in this series. I truly feel like I know them and I’m there with them trying to solve the crime. I’ve read quite a few books in this series and have gotten to know all of them like they were family to them. I just love that in a book where you get all invested and root for their ups and are sad for their downs. Ok, so who doesn’t love a good who done it murder case. I loved this storyline. Who doesn’t like a good mystery to solve? That ending blew me away. Not only did the author throw me for a loop on who did it but there was also so much nail biting action. I really thought I was going to have no nails left  by the end of this book. There was a really special moment at the end that I loved as well. A little romance to satisfy my hunger. I was wondering what was going on with the disappearing act the whole book but it definitely came full circle in the end. Just loved it so much. 

Between the plot, characters and all the twists in this book it made it an easy and fast read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This novel is absolutely buzzing with thrills from start to end! I loved the set up, and the antagonist was as scary as they get. There’s danger around every corner and it doesn’t get more life threatening. There is so much at stake throughout, I couldn’t help but hurry through it to find out who the culprit was. 

I also really enjoyed the romantic element. Don’t get me wrong, this book is first and foremost a crime book but the relationship between Noah and the kickass lead, Josie just heightened everything. Then there was an oh-my-goodness ending where I wanted to cover my eyes, but that’s just stupid when you’re reading. So... with one eye open, I braved the rest. 

‘Breathe Your Last’ is a tightly plotted, tense, police procedural and thriller with huge lashings of action. Brilliant and bravo!

Where does  Lisa Regan get her ideas? Another fast-paced novel that I couldn't put down. At first, Josie and her team are completely confused. How does a champion swimmer end up fully clothed and drowned in a swimming pool. Was she drunk, had she taken drugs, was it an accident, suicide, murder? Soon Josie stumbles on a second incident where a revered and respected retired fireman seemingly sets fire to his own house whilst his 2 young granddaughters are there. The conclusion is a nailbiting heart-rending finale that had me on the edge of my seat. A truly "oh, no" moment.

Wow! A plot that is intriguing, a suspense that couldn’t be guessed, a twist I didn’t foresee and an almost heart wrenching scene towards the conclusion, this book hooked me from the first page and the unrelenting pace made me finish it in four hours. The characters are evolving around each other, maintaining their individual nature in a very good way. The prose gives  the events a realistic touch. Well done 👌

That was an interesting premise - a champion swimmer, a college sophomore, who drowns in the college swimming complex; a former decorated fireman who deliberately sets his house on fire while his granddaughters are there; and the elderly desk sargeant at the Denton PD who climbs up to the bell tower in the historic police building and tries to clamber over the railing - what is causing these people to behave so oddly?

Detective Josie Quinn was present at theses three crime scenes and is convinced that the people were acting under the influence of some sort of drug. They have nothing in common, there is no forensic evidence and, once the police realise the killer would not necessarily have even been present when their victims died, there are any number of suspects! What follows is an exercise in frustration for the police until, finally, Josie joins a couple of dots.

I’ve read all the earlier books in this series and loved them. This book was good but, for some reason I can’t pin down, I was not as invested in it as the others. Perhaps its because I’ve seen this method of killing in a couple of other books I’ve read so there was no OMG moment. Perhaps It’s because everyone was just so unbelievably ‘nice’ this time around. Perhaps it’s because I thought the culprit and the ending were just a bit OTT. Nevertheless, full credit to Lisa Regan for coming with these very interesting plot ideas over and over again and for keeping the characters fresh. This book will appeal to all mystery and thrillers lovers. You can even read it as a stand alone although I guarantee you will enjoy it more if you read it as part of the series. Thanks to Netgalley, Bookouture and Lisa Regan for making a copy of the book available. My opinions are my own. 3.5 stars rounded up.

Breathe Your Last is book 10 featuring Josie Quinn...book 10!  I have loved each and every book in this series and I will continue to read them as long as they keep coming.  How Lisa  Regan keeps them fresh every single time is just amazing! Book 10 and they just keep getting better, and the characters more like family each time.  I know that I have said it before but you really need to acquaint yourself with Josie and the town of Denton.

This might be the toughest cases Josie has ever had to solve.  A champion swimmer drowns and an ex firefighters home burns down around him.  Accidents?  Surely not.  Josie doesn't think so and is determined to prove it.  But how?  How are these people being killed and why?  It will take her entire team and alot of missing sleep to get to the bottom of this mystery.  It is another fast paced, twisty ride and I actually had to hold my breath at the end.  It was just brilliant!

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy of this book to read. bring on book 11!

THRILLING book, jumping right in with a suspicious drowning of a champion swimmer.  Full of lots of suspense, great writing, storyline & excellent characters. RECOMMEND Lisa Regan's whole series featuring Detective Josie Quinn as they are all terrific.  Thanks to NetGalley & Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Josie Quinn you are my  hero!

Lisa Regan has hit another home run with Breathe Your Last, the pages turn themselves as Josie and her team desperately try to solve why people are dying unexplainably :  the champion swimmer drowns, the firefighter's house burnt down. 

The pieces come together as the team follows the unbelievable time line of its victims.

The pace is relentless, I was holding my breath at the end.

I love this series , it keeps getting better with every book.  

I am first in line for book 11.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for another exciting adventure with Josie Quinn.

Out of the park, Homerun! Lisa Regan has added a smart, fast paced, addition to her Detective Josie Quinn series. I had no time to take notes I was too busy concentrating on what had just happened, what was about to happen, what could happen, all the things that could go wrong, did go wrong, all while trying to remember to breathe. Unputdownable, had to read it to the end, wow, wow and wow !!!!!!!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookoutre for a copy

What a brilliant book. It's the first of the Josie Quinn series that i have read but definitely not my last. It grips the reader from the very start with twists and turns along the way to keep you hooked.  I am looking forward to starting this series and reading all about the courageous and heroic Josie Quinn.

This is one of my favourite series. I know, I know I have already stated this umpteenth times, but it’s true! I can’t help it that there are so many fabulous writers creating amazing books I am allowed to read and review. 😊
Josie is a great character, but so are the rest of her team and family. You just have to love them and every adventure is to die for. 
This book has, as usual, a lot of layers. There is suspense,  I felt revulsion, there were beautiful and OH NOOO moments…
You wonder why baddies keep trying in Josie’s town. They should know by now she is a force to be reckoned with. Luckily for us, they still think they can outsmart her which results in another horribly good story I feasted on. 5 stars

Thank you, Lisa Regan and Bookouture

This book is filled with drama, action and suspense from the very first page. Lisa Regan is able to keep the story moving at a blinding pace and still keep the reader completely engaged. The plot twists were creative and held my attention so that I couldn't put this book down until the very last word.

Lisa Regan's Josie Quinn series is known for intriguing mysteries and heart-stopping suspense, and this latest book does not disappoint. Someone seems to be poisoning people in Denton with something that turns them into zombies that do whatever they're told. First a college swimmer who seems to drown and then a firefighter who sets his own house on fire. The incidents begin to pile-up, even involving one of Denton PD's own. Josie and team are chasing leads and trying to find a drug that does not show-up in normal blood tests. Meanwhile, Josie's boyfriend is acting strangely, disappearing at odd hours for unexplained time periods. Have Denton's power couple neglected their relationship. The danger of the investigation leaves the reader hanging. Will Josie and Noah break-up? Will this case kill more than their relationship? It's a great read with a surprise ending.

This is book number 10 in the Detective Josie Quinn series by Lisa Regan and it is just as great as the others! This book starts with Josie and her college aged younger brother, finding a girl floating in the school pool. As the University’s star swimmer, it doesn’t make sense that the girl drowned, but Josie is suspicious that there is more going on. As more victims are found, the clues don’t really add up and there are no suspects. Josie and her team have to find the truth before more people die from a mysterious killer. 

This is another great read from Lisa Regan. I love this series so much, and cannot wait until another book comes out. I hope this series continues for a long time as I love the dynamic between Josie and her co-workers and all the other characters in her life. These books are really great and I recommend starting from the beginning and reading them in order to get the full effect. This book had so many unanswered questions as it was moving along and no suspects, it was written really well and entertaining as it was hard to determine early on who the killer was. It had twists and turns galore - another great book! I highly recommend this series if you like police procedural and murder mystery novels. 


** I was given a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an unbiased review**

A local college swimming champion drowning and a retired firefighter setting his own house on fire while his two granddaughters are inside, leave Josie and her team searching for answers. While trying to find a possible connection between these incidents, Josie also struggles with Noah not being his usual self.

What a great read, book 10 definitely fulfilled my expectations! The story progressed with speed and I had absolutely no idea who the killer would be until fairly into the book. I love all the characters of the series and how they developed and became important to Josie over time. All of them had an appearance in the book at some point, which I really enjoyed.

And then there is the ending – wow – talk about suspense! While at some point I could imagine who the killer would be, never would I have expected such a dramatic development!

I definitely recommend this book and can’t wait to see what waits for Josie in the future!

I would like to thank NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Bookouture for an advance copy of Breathe Your Last, the tenth novel to feature Detective Josie Quinn of the Denton, Pennsylvania PD.

When Jessie visits her brother, Patrick, at his work at the University swimming pool she finds the star swimmer, Nysa Somers, unresponsive in the pool and, despite her best efforts, Nysa is pronounced dead. Then revered firefighter, according to his granddaughters, sets his house on fire, almost killing them all. Josie and the team must work out what is happening and why.

I thoroughly enjoyed Breathe Your Last, which is a heart pounding thriller with a good mystery attached. It’s an emotional rollercoaster and even had me in tears at one point. Mostly the novel is told from Josie’s point of view so the reader can ride the roller coaster with her as she stumbles from one action scene to the next, and there are plenty. There are also a few first person chapters from the unidentified killer. These are quite chilling in their matter of factness and quite puzzling as they offer no clues to identity, preferring to offer what to most of us would be a flimsy motive. I found the novel to be fast moving and absorbing, if not realistic but who needs realism in fiction?

I like Josie Quinn who has a troubled past but which is maturing into a happy present with boyfriend Noah and her newfound family. I prefer that the plot now concentrates on her investigative skills, although the happy personal details offer a small break from the carnage of the job.

Breathe Your Last is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

This series by Lisa Regan is addictive. Breathe Your Last (Detective Josie Quinn Book 10) has a good plot, believable story, and rich characters. I love diving more into Josie's life and those around her. Breathe Your Last is a page-turning book that has all the elements of a good mystery.

I am looking forward to the next installment. Do yourself a favor and get started on this series. It will not disappoint.
