I called Hawk Delgado.

It was no surprise this situation in Misted Pines was known to him. He was tasked with keeping me safe, and although this had nothing to do with me, it had to do with Misted Pines, and that was where I was. It was also not a surprise that he currently did not have any resources to devote to assisting with it.

However, he gave me two names.

Nightingale Investigations, an outfit located where Delgado was, in Denver, Colorado.

And Tanner Layne, a private investigator who worked out of a shop in Brownsburg, Indiana, which was, to my astonishment, where Joe Callahan was based.

Neither were close.

But Nightingale was closer.

Though for reasons I didn’t understand (they probably had to do with Callahan), I called Layne first, left a message as it was the weekend and waited.

It was not long before he returned my call.

He had a full caseload, but said he’d look into it and get back to me.

I then reached out to Denver, leaving another message.

Not much time passed before a woman named Shirleen Jackson got in touch, saying she’d assessed it and presented it to her boss, the man behind the name, Lee Nightingale. She would follow up with me as soon as he’d made his decision.

Within hours, I had two replies.

Layne: “We’re ready to roll when we receive word from the investigator on site that he welcomes assistance. We have a message to him. But if he doesn’t give us the greenlight, I’m afraid at this time we can’t get involved. I hope you understand. I would feel the same if someone I didn’t know pushed into one of my investigations, especially at this early juncture. Trust me when I say that it’s never helpful.”

I didn’t know who “we” was, I also didn’t ask, but I suspected he’d consulted with Callahan.

I also didn’t think this was “early.” At that point, she’d been missing nearly a week.

Which begged the question, what parents had a slumber party for their eight-year-old on a Monday evening?

I didn’t ask Layne that either.

Jackson: “We understand your concern, but Lee looked into things and the investigator contracted to assist the local authorities is second to none. In this kind of situation, although it seems contradictory, more hands on deck can make a mess.”

That was two nos of the same ilk.

I decided to focus on the “second to none” comment, knowing they were referring to the fact it was clear the locals had called Cade Bohannan in.

The Girl in the Mist is the first book in the Misted Pines series and features the distinctive writing style that is unique to Kristen Ashley.  This title is a heartwarming, yet thrilling romantic suspense, with a mature couple featured as the hero and heroine.

Delphine and Cade are both intriguing and complex characters with lots of layers.  Delphine is a success in her chosen career paths and is a confident and loving single mother to two adult daughters.  She’s observant, perceptive, independent, and strong.

Cade is a single father to a teenage daughter and two adult sons, and is an alpha to the core, who is dominant without being overbearing and is loving, and protective.

I adored the side characters that were introduced in this title and can’t wait to see more of them as this series evolves.  This title is full of twists and turns with surprising reveals that I wasn’t quite expecting.  I’m quite partial to a romantic suspense and found myself completely captivated from the very first chapter, and thoroughly enjoyed this title and can’t wait for the next instalment in the series.
