Reading the blurb of Gracier by Milissa R. Bailey, it reminded me of Ella Grace’s Wildfire series. I am a huge fan of romantic suspense and when a whole suspense series is set in the same small town, nothing will hold me back from reading it. The idea that the trusted neighbor or a waitress from the local diner could be evil is just too tempting.
When Jessica returns to Gracier, she not only returns to her grandfather’s practice but to long buried memories, old loves and hurts and new fr...more

I chose this book to read for our book club because the author is from a neighboring town and I think we should try to support our local artists. I wasn't disappointed. It took me a few chapters to get into it because at first I felt it had too many characters and too much back story for each...but most of it became important and tied together pretty well at the end. There were some things of the book I wasn't thrilled with.The character development was a little amateurish(but this is her first...more

Jonas was the town's longtime beloved veterinarian, and it had been his and Jessica's dream to one day share the practice, but his sudden fatal stroke left it up to Jessica to pick up the pieces.

This was a fabulous read from start to finish. This story was full of twists and a few OMG moments thrown in for good measures :-)

I really liked this book. It was one that grabbed your attention from the opening page. It is easy to read, and fun reading it, knowing the author came from my home town. I can't wait for the next one to come out.
Outstanding. Thank you for bringing to life small town Iowa. Brought back memories of growing up.
Congratulations on your first book. I look forward to your next novel.

To call this a mystery is far fetched. This was a completely frustrating read. Very melodramatic without any true depth. I found it and the main characters quite silly to be honest...
Good story, but....get an editor! Please!
I couldn't put this book down! I loved the town of Gracier and all it's townspeople. This is an intriguing love story/mystery with lots of suspense. Everyone in this town has secrets and are somehow connected to the main character Jessica and her past. I had all sorts of theories while reading this book, but every time I thought I had it figured out, another curve or clue came my way. I can't wait to revisit Gracier again!!!

I won this book in a first-reads giveaway. Gracier grabbed me from the first page and kept me guessing all the way to the end. I couldn't put the book down and manage to read it in a days time. Needless to say I will definitely be getting the next installment in the series when it comes out.
This book is amazing I highly recommend it to everyone. While reading the book, I felt like I was right there and part of the town. Milissa R. Bailey did a great job. I can't wait to read the next in the series.
