You only need one word to describe this book...INTENSE!!! There are some seriously f***ed up people in this book and your heart breaks for some of them. Others you hope they get back what they've been giving and more. Ivy is a very complex woman who is trying her best to make other people's lives better than hers has been. Can't wait to read more about her in the next book. This is one series that you can't wait to read but are a little afraid to at the same time. Keep up the awesome writing Mr. Mefford!

I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Ivy Nash Thriller book #2

Redemption Thriller book #8

I love John Mefford’s books because you can rarely figure out how the mystery will turn out, definitely hard to guess who the perpetrator is, who he is pursuing, who might be his next victim, when his next move will be and what gruesome action he will do next. “In Pursuit”, is much darker than anything I have read so far by this author. It is simply spine-chilling, evil and hair-raising. Even with all this, I loved every moment.

We follow two threads seamlessly, jumping between characters and time frames with no confusion. Although the subject matter may be over the top it is smoothly put together so we can read it with ease.

A serial killer is terrorizing San Antonio and the method of murder is beyond macabre. Ivy Nash seemed to be the one intersecting point between the victim and herself. She is pulled into the case by her police friend.

Meanwhile Ivy is on a case of a run-away teen looking for her parents.

M. Mefford once again has created a winning crime thriller with defined characters and a dramatic plot that kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages furiously. The story is visual; it definitely would make a captivating movie. This is no doubt that books from this author are my kind of books, ones that are captivating from the start and never let go.

I am a huge fan of this author, I simply love the way he writes. This may be the second book in this series but it has been more than a dozen I have read so far. I loved them all. ( )

First, let me say I'm a HUGE fan of Ivy Nash at this point. She's an advocate for those who have no voice and often slip through the cracks in the system. This newest installment in her thriller series of adventures was no disappointment. With heart racing moments, a mystery villain, and heart-wrenching stories, In Pursuit will have you lost for hours as Ivy Nash fights for what's right...and her life.

Received for review ( )

This was another book in the Ivy Nash series and it was terrific! All of the books have been great and this one is too. It can be read as a standalone but I love that the story goes from one book to the another.

As an author, John W. Mefford sure gets your attention and I don’t know how he thinks of some of the things the monster in this book does. I was grossed out but couldn’t stop reading. This is an excellent thriller/mystery about Ivy Nash still trying to find out who tortured her and now is after people she knows. All the characters are well written and the book is full of surprises. For me, I can’t wait till the next one In Doubt. ( )
