Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay a four-star read you will want to snatch. This is the first novel in the Feisty Lawyers series and I for one can’t wait for the next one. This was a quick and fast paced story that will suck you in and enthral you, I only gave it four stars as there was a couple of bits that I couldn’t get, and I could have read more pages. Janet MacLaclan and Kade Mathews are a great couple and they just have this charisma about them you would help them like the others do. There is a dark story to this, but its done well and shows promise for a great series.

Snatching Dianna was an interesting and action packed novel. The storyline was easy to follow and moved quickly. It was fitting, too, how important it was to locate a missing person in a certain amount of time. The individuals that made up the primary characters of the novel consisted of an interesting mix including lawyers, law students, special agents, and police. I loved how strong Dianna remained in the face of danger and handled being taken. She never gave up hope. There was also a hint of steamy romance mixed in. I look forward to reading more in this series.
I found this to be a very fast paced story! For a suspense novel, I found the discovery of who the villain was a bit quick. There needed to be more detective work. I felt like overall, the story needed more action. I was super impressed with all the people involved in bringing Dianna home. The teamwork and collaboration of the different jurisdictions was awesome. The characters are intelligent and extremely likable! Love the cover!! Its what grabbed my attention! This is a new to me author and I’m definitely going to see what else she has to offer! Overall, 4 star read!

Book 1
By Seelie Kay
WOW!!! This is only the beginning in this series. What a great start for this suspenseful story.
Dianna Murphy is kidnapped on her morning run. Her roommate tries to report it. But the law says she has to wait 24 hours, because Dianna is an adult. She is strong, brave and will not let these people make her weak. That is exactly where this storyline picks up. I was drawn into the very first paragraph. It continues at a running pace. Seelie Kay has really written a spectacular story. So real in today’s everyday life. I feel she has really gone out and done her research on human trafficking. For that alone, makes this suspenseful story a must read!. That is really all I can say without giving too much of the story away. I am looking forward to see where she will take this series. Not for those under 18 due to adult content. I’m looking for more Seelie Kay!
Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay is the first book of the Feisty Lawyers series. The story’s main characters are Law Professor Janet MacLachlan and her husband secret agent Cade Matthews. They are on the hunt for a missing law student Dianna Murphy before she disappears forever. They bring on a team of experts to help them find Dianna.
This was a quick read with lots of suspense. I enjoyed that the tension was broken up at times with some good wit. Because of the length, there is a lot of room to grow and continue the series. The characters are interesting and seem to have a lot of backstory. I enjoyed the story overall and look forward to reading more in the series.

4 out of 5 stars
Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyer series written by Seelie Kay and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. This book isn’t really my kind of reading but I enjoyed this short story. This story contains intrigue, suspense, humor, action, adventure, danger, drama, and some romance.
Dianna Murphy a Milwaukee law student has been kidnapped. Her roommate reports her missing, but unfortunately, without witnesses and solid evidence, all the police really know is that she is missing.
In steps in Law Professor Janet MacLachlan, a former covert agent, she discovers a single clue, one that points to a taking by a slave trafficking cartel. In a race against time, Janet recruits her husband, secret agent Cade Matthews, small-town Police Chief David Manders and his wife, criminal defense attorney Julianna Constant, and other law students to uncover the truth.
Can they prove that Dianna was taken against her will? Will she be lost forever if they can’t find any-more clues about her disappearance?
The characters are great and well written the plot was good this book was easy to read. I recommend this book…

Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers Book 1) By Seelie Kay. While on the short side it’s still a very good suspense story. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. The characters are complex and the storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The author just has this way of capturing readers attention and making them crawl inside the story. It’s a story with great suspense and kept me on my toes. I’m excited to read more from this author. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to anyone.
Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series. This is the first book I have had the pleasure reading by Ms. Kay so I wasn’t sure what to expect with her style and how she builds her characters and was anxious to see what I would be getting with this story. Let me tell you what I got.
I got a story about love, romance, “alone time” and there was the whole missing law student thing which brought in the hot alpha Federal Agents and local Police Officers.
I was a little confused by the focal point in the beginning but as the story progressed it was clear to me where this series will be going. My confusion didn’t cause me enough distraction to take away from the book.
I have book two in my kindle and looking forward to getting it read.

This is book one in the Feisty Lawyers series. It is a suspenseful, dramatic novella. Dianna Murphy has been kidnapped and it’s up to secret agents Janet MacLachlan and Cade Matthews to bring her home and take down the slave trafficking ring. The book reminded me of the series Code Raven by Lynda Fuller. Agents and police setting up covert operations to save innocent women and make the world a better place.
The playful banter between the characters lightened the story. Human trafficking is a heavy topic so this was a good addition. Some of their conversations seemed to allude to there being a prior book but I think the author was trying to show that the characters had history together. Being such a short book, I couldn’t really invest myself with any of the characters therefore there was no real connection.
My only issue with the story was the few “sexcapades”. I love sex scenes in a book but these were weird and random and had nothing to do with the story. They could have been left out completely and it wouldn’t have changed anything.. Had the book been longer and we had more in depth knowledge of these relationships maybe it would have worked better.
Other than that, I think the story was interesting and it was a good introduction to the characters. The whole secret agency will lead to some intriguing storylines for future books. I’m interested to see what will happen in book two.
This is the first book I have read by Seelie Kay and I was not disappointed! Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series. Dianna is a law student who goes missing. Her roommate brings up the situation to her teacher, Janet, who is ex – covert agent, she immediately gets on the case. With the help of her husband, Cade, and others, they find themselves tracking down a human trafficking ring. This is a quick and easy read. I loved the characters in this book! I feel like there might have been a previous story with these two. I would have liked it to be just a little longer with more action. I can’t wait to read the next one!

The story Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers Book 1) by Seelie Kay is a book that I loved reading. There is both mystery and suspense. It had me wondering what was going to happen next. I was turning pages to find out. It is the story about a law student, Dianna Murphy, who fails to show to a planned event with her roommate. When Law Professor Janet MacLachlan, a former covert agent, is alerted she begins looking for clues as to if Dianna was taken. One clue sends her and others looking into a slave trafficking cartel. Will Dianna be found, or will she disappear without a trace? Read this book to find out. This is a story in which I felt like I was right there with the characters. Trying to put the clues together is like putting together a puzzle. I enjoyed reading the interactions between Janet, her husband Cade and the other additional characters. The characters work well together and are determined to find the truth of what has happened to Dianna. There are also some characters that have their own agenda and whose actions I would call evil. Don’t miss out reading a wonderful story that will hook you in and not let go until the last page.
Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series and what a book it is. Full of thrilling suspense, intrigue and twists and turn this book will have you on a roller coaster ride with its fast pace writing and well written story.

Janet MacLachlan was once a secret agent and with help from her husband, the police chief and a merry band of others they decide to find out what really happened.
This book will have you on the end of your seat, although a short novel this does not stop the effectiveness of the full story. With the twists and turn you are taken on a journey with the “team” to uncover what has happened, but has the team over turned just one to many stones and are they ready for what they uncover. If you love the suspense and thrill of a good thriller you will love this book. I can’t wait to read more in this series or more books by this author.

By Seelie Kay
Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers by Seelie Kay. With this my first book by this author I was quite open to what I might be reading. But I have to say this book was a nice quick read. I also found this book was well written and the story just flowed throughout the book. If you enjoy books that contain danger, crime and suspense then I am pretty sure this is looking like it will be the series for you. If book one was this great, I can’t wait to see what happens throughout the series. Thank Seelie for a great start to the series.
Seelie Kay just took my breath away. Snatching Dianna is the story that I fear the most. I have three daughters and I fear that they will be snatched and made into slave trafficking/sex trafficking. This story (I know it is fiction) could very well happen. Seelie Kay made me want more and more but at times I found myself making cringing faces because of the content. There are many twists and turns which kept me on my toes. I do not know how long it took to read the book because I was that enthralled with the story line. Thank you, Seelie Kay I loved this story and cannot wait for the next book.
Snatching Dianna is a suspense, action, adventure, and danger. Dianna Murphy is a law student who is missing. Her law professor, Janet is worried as she found a piece of evidence that Dianna may have been taken by a slave trafficking cartel. Will Janet find Dianna or will it be too late?
I give Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers Book 1) by Seelie Kay, 4 stars.
Law student Dianna goes missing one morning after jogging. Professor and former undercover agent Janet is alerted to the problem. Some of the details sound all too familiar. It sounds like a slave trafficking racket Janet worked a while back. She thought they broke them up. The more they discover, the deeper they go. Can they rescue the missing student? Or will they be too late?
This was an interesting book. The story was intriguing and the characters were quite good. The only thing was that I felt like I was thrown into the middle of a series. I felt confused for a bit until they got into the search more. But this could have just been me. However, I really did enjoy this book and hope to see more in this series.
If you like a thriller with some hot and heavy scenes, you should pick up this book.
Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers Book 1) by Seelie Kay. I loved this book. It’s the story of Janet MacLachlan a former covert agent, now a Law Professor, who is looking into the disappearance of a student named Dianna Murphy. Clues lead her to believe she’s been taken by a slave trafficking cartel. Janet talks her husband Police Chief David Manders into helping her. Dianna’s roommate is scared & upset and her parents are hysterical. This is such a quick, good read. It’s about a very scary, horrific subject but one that is very prevalent in our society today. Will they find Dianna or will she be lost forever. This is an awesome book and I highly recommend it!
Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series. It can be read as a standalone, however the epilogue leaves things open for the series to continue.
This book is a peculiar mix of action, mystery, humor, and issues that are serious (i.e. human trafficking). Overall, it was a good read. There were a few places where it was a little bumpy, but nothing distracting enough to take away from the main story. One of the things that I wish had been a little different is the depth of the characters, it takes a little while to get into them. It does have some brief adult scenes so it is meant for readers 18 and over.
Snatching Dianna was action packed and interesting. It almost seemed like it couldn’t be the first book in this series, as the characters already have such developed relationships. It feels like each book may take you on a fast paced adventure, fighting crimes and saving lives. The personalities of the lawyers, spooks, etc were strong, sassy, and fun. The dirty scenes were hot, but kind of out of place? They were enjoyable but distracting to the action a bit. Overall, a good read and a good start to a series.
Snatching Dianna is book one in the Feisty Lawyers series by Seelie Kay. This author intrigued me with the storyline. I have not read any of Seelie Kay’s work, and I was delighted to find it was amazingly good. The writing style was really engaging for a reader, had excitement and thrilling suspenseful moments, and the characters blended effortlessly and provided a plethora of articulate actions and dramatic displays.
I love a good what happened drama and Snatching Dianna was an excellent example of a top quality suspense. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series will be on my must read list. 5 stars.
