Summary

Amazon Charts bestselling author Vivian Barz reunites Special Agent Susan Marlan with Professor Eric Evans in a riveting installment in the Dead Remaining series。

It’s been a year since Special Agent Susan Marlan and Professor Eric Evans worked a taxing missing persons case together on the Olympic Peninsula。 Though the couple have since separated, Eric must reluctantly turn to Susan for advice when a student accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend comes to Eric for help proving his innocence。 Susan—busy tracking down two missing employees of San Francisco’s Gruben Dam—warns Eric to be cautious, as the young man has connections to Defenders of the Earth (DOTE), an ecoterror group operating out of San Francisco。

After the suspected student dies of an apparent suicide, Eric starts having visions that point to a more disturbing truth。 Determined to figure out what really happened, Eric works with his old friend Jake Bergman to infiltrate DOTE。

As Eric continues to grapple with his newly discovered ability to see the dead, Susan’s missing persons case leads her to a startling connection between the campus suicide, her case, and the ecoterrorists。 To put the pieces together and prevent further disaster, the trio must join forces once again。

not too many ghosts in this one。 I really enjoy(enjoyed) this series。 I gave it 4 starts because I felt it was a little on the slower side and there were only 2 ghost encounters in this book。

The third installment in an interesting FBI interrelated mystery, suspense story with a hint of paranormal。 Now I guess it's time to go back and read the first two books。 Thanks for the free copy!

So-so murder mystery w supernatural touches。 After reading the synopsis, I expected paranormal crime fiction with some supernatural。 The book starts slowly, as the author catches us up w her characters。 I liked following FBI agent Susan Marlan investigating employee deaths at a nearby dam。 I was intrigued by geologist Eric Evans’ new uni professorship, and by several student murders。 When the emphasis shifted to violinist Jake Bergman investigating an ecoterrorist group, it felt like a reboot to So-so murder mystery w supernatural touches。 After reading the synopsis, I expected paranormal crime fiction with some supernatural。 The book starts slowly, as the author catches us up w her characters。 I liked following FBI agent Susan Marlan investigating employee deaths at a nearby dam。 I was intrigued by geologist Eric Evans’ new uni professorship, and by several student murders。 When the emphasis shifted to violinist Jake Bergman investigating an ecoterrorist group, it felt like a reboot to the 1990s & early Aughts。 As the author merges three storylines, there are inconsistencies, plot-holes, and unbelievable situations。 Plot became more important than characters—resulting in confused motives, questionable actions, and irrational behaviors。 Example: I can believe a student Eric once met is haunting him。 But then an unknown dead girl seizes control of his mind and body—like demon possession—leads him four miles to a river, makes Eric drown himself, then releases his mind, and as a fisherman is saving the dazed/confused Eric, the ghost yanks him down by his legs。 How? What is she? After his miraculous rescue, Eric goes home。 No hypothermia, no trip to ED, no doctor, no nightmares, no PTSD。 Really? I think I’ll stop here。 。。。more

Thank you Brilliance Audio for the gifted copy。This is the third book in Vivian Barz’ Dead Remaining series and I really like this series。 It’s atmospheric, creepy and a great installment to what is becoming a favorite series。While this book does work on it’s own, I really suggest you read the the prior books in the series before picking this one up。 It will help you to get a better feel for the main characters and the dynamics of their relationships。 Of course, Vivian Barz does give a little ba Thank you Brilliance Audio for the gifted copy。This is the third book in Vivian Barz’ Dead Remaining series and I really like this series。 It’s atmospheric, creepy and a great installment to what is becoming a favorite series。While this book does work on it’s own, I really suggest you read the the prior books in the series before picking this one up。 It will help you to get a better feel for the main characters and the dynamics of their relationships。 Of course, Vivian Barz does give a little backstory here in this third book so that if you haven’t read the other books you won’t be totally lost, but there were enough times that events were mentioned from the other books that I’m glad I had already read them。I love being back in the world that this author creates。 It’s just the right amount of creepy and thrilling without being over the top。 Once I start these books, I am completely engaged and do not want to stop until I finish – that’s always the sign of a captivating read and this latest one was no different。 A missing college student, a suicide and ecoterrorism really keep things interesting and I had no idea where things were headed。One of the reasons I love this series is because it’s such a good mix of thriller, mystery, police procedural with a little bit of paranormal thrown in。 But where this installment shines is the extra development with our characters。 While we have seen some growth in them all along, I feel that they really come into themselves in this book。 Eric finally has a handle on his gift and uses it to the best of his ability。 And Jake makes some major changes that I’m excited to see continue in future books…if this series continues!This book is filled with just the right amount of twists and turns that keep you on edge and I loved every minute of it。 I hope there is more to come in this series but even if there isn’t Vivian Barz is definitely going on my must-read list…I just love her writing and creative mind!Audio thoughts: I was so glad to see that Julie McKay was narrating this third book。 I am such a fan of consistency when it comes to narrators of series, whenever possible, and loved that she came back! I thought she did a great job with this third book, bringing the same voices back again as she had from the earlier books, which makes it so easy to jump right back in。 Her intonation and pacing was spot on and she really does bring this book to life。 If there are any more books in this series, I do hope she will be back to narrate them!You can see all my reviews at: https://www。alwayswithabook。com/ 。。。more

I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of Campus Bones by Ms。 Vivian Barz herself for an honest review。 So here we go!This series is not for the faint of heart, though。 If you do not like psychological thrillers, this is not for you。 But if you dare, take a peek inside, you may just fall in love with the books like I did。 If you have not picked up the previous two books in this series, definitely do that, read them, then come back and get this one as soon as possible。 I have absolutely loved getti I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of Campus Bones by Ms。 Vivian Barz herself for an honest review。 So here we go!This series is not for the faint of heart, though。 If you do not like psychological thrillers, this is not for you。 But if you dare, take a peek inside, you may just fall in love with the books like I did。 If you have not picked up the previous two books in this series, definitely do that, read them, then come back and get this one as soon as possible。 I have absolutely loved getting to live in the creepy and thrilling world Barz created here。 We have evolved into the world of missing and murdered college students, eco terrorism, and even more of the personal escapades between Eric, Susan, and Jake。 You are in for a whirlwind of crazy, but it is, I think, my favorite of the series so far。 We get so much more in depth to the characters。 We get to see Eric getting a handle on and using his visions to help solve these mysteries in a more concrete way。 Susan gets so much character development (even though she was already a very fleshed out character。 Jake even gets to go off on his own and discover his own path in life。 I genuinely loved every word of this book。 The plot, itself, is a work of genius。 I was on the edge of my proverbial seat each chapter。 You couldn't help but turn the page and keep reading。 I despised having to get up to get food because that meant I couldn't keep reading。 Once you are hooked, this book sinks its claws in you and will not let you go without a fight。 Trust me。 Set aside some time to read it with no interruptions, you will thank me later。If you can see, I made a tab with a post it note (along with writing notes on it) at every part that I liked or thought was important not only to the story, but to the characters。 As you can see, there are quite a few。 I cannot wait to see what comes next from Vivian Barz! Thank you again for sending me the copy。Also: GET THE BOOK, I PROMISE YOU WILL ENJOY IT!!!!!! 。。。more

This book was an excellent continuation of the series, and it kept me on my toes until the very end。 The first quarter of the book started off a bit slow (it took me a beat to recall where things left off from book 2) but halfway through things began to really ramp up。 This book had just enough of the supernatural without being over the top, and it was interesting to see how Eric, Susan, and Jake have settled into their new roles。 I am looking forward to seeing where this series goes next, and t This book was an excellent continuation of the series, and it kept me on my toes until the very end。 The first quarter of the book started off a bit slow (it took me a beat to recall where things left off from book 2) but halfway through things began to really ramp up。 This book had just enough of the supernatural without being over the top, and it was interesting to see how Eric, Susan, and Jake have settled into their new roles。 I am looking forward to seeing where this series goes next, and this is by far one of my favorite authors。 。。。more

My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC of Campus Bones! It's book 3 in the Dead Remaining series。There are two mysteries in this book: The first is when a student accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend comes to Professor Eric Evans for help proving his innocence。 The second is when Susan, a Special Agent with the FBI, is tasked with tracking down two missing employees of San Francisco’s Gruben Dam。 Eric and Susan were once a couple, but they went their separate ways in a p My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC of Campus Bones!

Susan seems like she's on track for becoming a great Special Agent, although she's still a wee bit green right now。 I loved Jake, who is a dwarf, and is hilarious!Surprisingly, the two stories ended up having a connection that I definitely didn't see coming! Eric, Susan, and Jake make a great team。 I generally read books that are more serious but I SO enjoyed this lighter fare!! 。。。more

Susan, Eric, and Jake are at it again。 Solving murders as a group and with Eric's special talent it should be easy right? A co ed is murdered, her ex boyfriend is blamed。 But he too is murdered。 Susan, Eric, and Jake are at it again。 Solving murders as a group and with Eric's special talent it should be easy right?

Another great addition to the Dead Remaining series。 I was like, 70% through the book when I realized that uh, I was 70% through the book。 It all went so fast that I didn't even notice I was plowing through it。 And that's basically the ideal for me。 Another great addition to the Dead Remaining series。 I was like, 70% through the book when I realized that uh, I was 70% through the book。 It all went so fast that I didn't even notice I was plowing through it。 And that's basically the ideal for me。 。。。more
