Greg and Farrah witness a murder and the killer sees them. They are afraid for their lives and ask Emily to get them out of the area. Emily wants to adopt a Mexican immigrant that lost her parents and is afraid it may affect her adoption. They tell her what happened, but not who they saw do the shooting. Two crooked cops add to the drama.
A thrilling conclusion to the novel.
Emily and Jack take the legal profession to new heights as they defend and protect their clients. They also move their relationship from professional to personal. The author does not disappoint with another page turning and thrilling story. The attention to detail with Ava’s conversations and word choices is just divine. Her depth and variety in characters always makes the books so much more exciting and believable. I always look forward to picking up the next in the series.
A fun, romantic, and touching mystery
As always Ms. Hutchins trips all the emotional buttons in this romance/mystery featuring the ever curious and helpful Emily. She again is trying to help others and solve a murder at the same time, of course putting herself in danger. Her heart gets in her way where kids are concerned, especially kids that need help. Speaking of heart, her romance with Jack continues getting more “comfortable” for both of them.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
The 2nd book in this series, Earth to Emily, didn’t disappoint. Pamela Fagan Huchins creates in depth characters and uses such descriptive language you can almost see what’s going in, what it looks like. I found myself engrossed in the story and I think you will too. Emily’s still waiting to find out if she’ll be approved as Betsy’s adoptive mom but in the meantime, she finds herself at odds with some law enforcement guys, becomes involved in helping two teenagers who witnessed a murder and finds herself embroiled in a kind of chaos that puts her smack dab in the middle of the action.
If that isn’t enough her father reappears in her life after “deserting” the family when she was in her teens. No spoiler alerts necessary…if you want to find out how Emily deals with all that’s happening…read this book!
This next book in the series is as good as the first ones. It kept my attention throughout the book. I had a hard time stopping sometimes because I wanted to know what happened next. There are some twists and turns I did not see coming. It ties in with the prior books, but they are not absolutely necessary to read first. I highly recommend the book.
This was an excellent addition to the series and I am really looking forward to the next installment. The character development is interesting and engaging and the storyline, as always, is riveting, fast-paced, and filled with turns and twists that keep me guessing. I highly recommend this book, series, and author!
Earth to Emily – a review by Rosemary Kenny
Non-stop action starts on page 1 of Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ exciting book, Earth to Emily, book 2 of the WDKY (What Doesn’t Kill You) Emily Bernal Texas to New Mexico trilogy, that doesn’t let up for a single minute.
Finding teen runaways, after wrecking, (boss and partner)Jack’s Jeep, almost witnessing a nearby murder, being arrested for a crime she didn’t commit – life throws one hard knock after another at Emily, the soon-to-be divorced, would-be adoptive Mom,(of young Betsy, whose life she’s previously saved) and all-round good ‘egg’!
Yet even when her life’s on the line and danger is all around, Emily Bernal, (usually), does the right thing and always means well, no matter what price she has to pay to seek justice for the underdog or her loved ones.
Don’t miss Earth to Emily…it’s an outstanding romantic suspense thriller that will ‘make’ your year!
EARTH TO EMILY.
… Pamela Hutchins
Emily is in limbo, in love with her boss, and a love for a child who she wants to adopt. In the meantime to get approved as a foster parent, she deals with Inspector Wallace. He wants help with two runaway teenager, and she is the only one they will trust. People who want to destroy her reputation, and other obstacles, are in her way. One likes Emily and what she is trying to achieve, good plot and enjoyed reading. Give arc for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
Lots of action as tensions rise over Emily’s attempt tp navigate the obstacles to adopting Beth, and the sudden negative attention she is receiving from the police. Laced with the humor this author is noted for, and her wonderful characters, this is definitely a great read. This is my honest, voluntary review of an advanced reader copy of this book.
Earth to Emily was the first book by Pamela Fagan Hutchins that I had read, and after reading it I was hooked! I instantly fell in love with the easy, imaginative and beautifully descriptive style of writing that Pamela displays in all her books.
This story has twists and turns aplenty, sometimes witty, sometimes sad with an interesting, captivating murder mystery that keeps you guessing right the way through.
I immediately purchased the sequels in the Emily series, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Earth to Emily is book 6 in the “What doesn’t kill you” series by the same author.
Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed!
** audio book review **
Another great Emily mystery. I love Emily so much. She cracks me up and also frustrates me at the same time. We start this book with her trying to adopt Betsy, who she saved in the last book, and also crushing on her boss Jack. I want her happiness. I want everything to work for her. But I can’t help feel frustrated at her choices. She gets herself in another murder mystery and I really didn’t know if she would make it out alive. I love Emily because she is a hero that I can relate to. She doesn’t say the right thing. She doesn’t make the right choices. But her heart is pure. She wants to help others and sometimes she breaks the rules for the right reasons. Join Emily on another mystery. Get ready to be surprised. This story has many twists. I couldn’t stop listening. This narrator brings Emily to life again. And trust me you’ll want to listen/read until the last line. I can’t wait for more Emily!
Emily has gone through so much and now all she wants is to adopt Betsy, see the kids Greg & Farrah safe and discover how Jack really feels about her. Is that too much to ask? In anyone else’s world, no but this is Emily so nothing is ever that easy. Let the adventure begin, murders ensue and let’s not forget about all the mayhem!
Pamela Fagan Hutchins stories always have a bit of everything for everyone. She creates such great characters, makes you laugh, keeps you on the edge of your seat, keeps you guessing, throws in some romance and tops it all off with a bit of spirituality! She sucks you in and you never want the story to end! Bring on the next installation!
This review is for the audio book.
I really enjoyed this book and think they just better and better. I enjoyed the Katie series but think the Emily books have just stepped it up another level. I love the familial characters putting in a appearance. Even though I had worked out the mystery it was fun getting there with Emily and the gang.
In this book Emily a paralegal is once again playing detective when two run away children ask her help after witnessing a murder, but not the help she should be providing like taking them to the police. No they want help running away,as far as she can take them so they don’t become the killers next victim. Emily is torn because the teenagers need her help but so does Betsy the little girl she is trying to adopt and she doesn’t want to jeopardize that. Especially as Betsy foster mum has all ready could the police on her about stalking the little girl. Jack has his own trouble trying to keep his clients out of jail and track down a thief that is stealing from home.When Emily stumbles on another body they realise that the killer is playing for keeps and it might not just be the children that are in real trouble.
I liked the narrator but I started with the Katie books so I am use to her voice for the character of Ava and even thoughTracy was good with everyone else, she didn’t quite have the same island accent I have got use to.
Original, witty, couldn’t put down. Good, something to keep reading. Kept my attention.
