Read Online Next Time You See Me Penned By Katia Lief Text

was a.for me, but I decided to skew up,

Unfortunately, for this whole actionpacked novel, the thing I remember most is the main character's xenophobic comment toward the undercover agent who Karin did not know was an agent at the time, but just a friend of her mother's.
I don't think this is the author's point of view I think this is a flaw of the character and she is put in her place ironically, her name is Karin, but this was before we all knew about "Karens".
This is, thankfully, not something that keeps recurring, and this Karin seems to have learned her lesson, So we can move on,

It's been a few months since I finished the book, and I don't remember that much about the specifics, so I'll keep it brief: wellpaced, wellplotted, a nice twist or two that surprised me, one I guessed and was happy to have done.
Readers are kept in a sense of uncertainty that matches well with the protagonist and just when you think everything is solved and better BAM! Another twist to keep it going.


I would recommend this with a reservation or warning but Karin seems to have learned her lesson, Sort of. That character is not good at learning lessons, This was a hell of a book and this author is a hell of a writer! She's becoming my new fave, She writes a lot like Wendy Corsi Staub and I so enjoy that! Highly recommend this series, . . start with the first book as this was the second and I'm starting the third right now : Karin Schaeffer has endured a lot of tragedy in her life.
Her husband and little girl were both murdered and the killer stalked Karin but that is in her past and she hopes to leave the danger and sorrow behind her.
She is now married to Mac MacLeary, a former police officer, who helped her get through the horrible time when the maniac that killed her family was trying to kill her.


Mac and Karin have a little boy, Ben, Karins mother lives nearby and life now seems to be normal, happy and secure, Then Mac receives a phone call that his parents have been murdered, Not only does the family have to face the tragedy of the death of Macs parents but Macs brother is charged with the murder,

Shortly after his parents murder, Mac disappears, His rental car is found but his body is not, Although most people feel that Mac is dead, Karin refuses to accept that he is no longer alive, Karins every waking moment is filled with thoughts and plans to find out where Mac is and why he is gone,

Karins mother moves in to help with Ben and introduces Karin to Jasmine, Jasmine is a fun loving person and Karin feels comfortable with her, When Jasmine decides to go to Florida to celebrate her birthday Karin decides to meet her, When she arrives at the Florida airport, she feels sure she sees Mac walking through the airport and gives chase but is unable to catch up with him.


Karin hires a private detective who comes up with a picture of a man who looks like Mac, Karin leaves her son with her mother and sets off to find her husband, Her chase takes her to Mexico where she uncovers dark secrets regarding her husbands past and almost loses her life,

Next Time You See Me is a book that has so many twists and turns it is hard to keep track but exciting to the end.


Katia Lief has also written “You Are Next” which tells the story of Katia and her hunt for the person that murdered her husband and child.
It is not necessary to read the first book in order to enjoy the second book,



Plot was too convoluted, Husband's parents are killed. Husband's brother suspected. Husband goes missing and is presumed to have committed suicide when they find his car submerged in the Sound,

Karin on trip to Miami thinks she sees husband at the airport, Hires PI who snaps photo or him with another woman, Woman turns out to head a drug cartel in Mexico, Knew Mac when she met him during his spring break trip to Mexico,

She killed parents as revenge for him leaving her and stealing her money for ticket back to States, She had been pregnant when he left,

But not enough, Then DEA agents are found to be working in league with Ana's rival, one if which works for Karin's mom,

Too much melodrama, rubbish. completely unbelievable storyline. very disapointed as the authors first novel you are next was brill, Dit is een verrassend goed boek, ik heb het met veel plezier gelezen, Een aanrader voor wie een niet al te dik boek, maar wel goed boek wil lezen, This book was ridiculous. The twists and turns made it a quick read, but everything was so unbelievable, I also got

annoyed at how much the main character talked about her kid and how having a child made her a good person, Seriously one line was, "before Karin had a child, she ignored homeless people, but now she realizes they were all born to someone and gives them five dollars.
" WTF! Childless people can have empathy for others too you know, Somehow I enjoyed this one both more and at the same time less than I did the first in the series, Its an odd way to feel about a book, and yet such is the case,

In the end the book was just as gripping as the first, yet I had been hoping for more action, When there was action it was great, but as with the first I felt as though the story stopped and started more than was necessary, It was as though our main character couldnt quite convince herself to move forward, waiting for things to happen and being more passive than I would have liked.


As with the first book, however, the crime aspect of the book was thrilling, It was interesting to see the way things played out, the way everything was connected, filled with twists and turns, The criminal aspects of these books are certainly high up on my list of enjoyed crime stories yet the other aspects of the books seem to let me down hence my lovehate relationship with them.
As my four show I love them more than I hate them but I still find myself wanting something more from them, Whether it is due to the fact that Im more accustomed to the bulky crime books I cannot say, but I feel as though these pass too quickly.


Still, despite that, I am in love with the developing story and want to see where everything goes, Het is allemaal wat veel, te veel twists en de geloofwaardigheid is een beetje zoek, Leest wel supersnel. Ik vond dit deel wel minder indrukwekkend dan het eerste boek, Ik hoop dat het volgende boek iets minder "over the top" is, Less is more Another great novel by Katia! I really love her work, Is this book based on real life events or what I found it boring and confusing, Karin was just so annoying, A busy body who can't keep her mouth shut, I won't be hurrying to get her next book that's for sure, Awful. Badly written. Unconvincing and over complex story, It is amazing how some books can be boring and enjoyable at the same time,

The main problem with this book is that there was no place for boredom, speculation, or thoughtful analysis, mind you, there were so many plot twists that I wished the stream of them would stop.

Katia Lief seemed to prefer being in control, requiring that the reader flips through the pages absentmindedly, with as little effort as possible,
The element of surprise was indeed nice, but there was too much of it, so much that it seemed as though the author had too many brilliant ideas and she couldn't wait to put them into motion and see how they unfold.


The author waste no time or pages getting to the heart of the matter, Karins husband of two years, Mac, learns from Karin that some murdered his parents in what looks to be a home invasion, The cops think Macs constantly drunken brother, Danny, killed them, but Mac and his older sister believe otherwise, When Karin shows up to celebrate their second anniversary, Mac never appears, Hes gone missing, and its up to Karin to ferret out his secrets and enter the world where the darkness sometimes takes him,

When someone finds a car Mac rented submerged in water, everyone assumes he has committed suicide, Karin denies that hes dead, but he never reappears, That changes when Karin sees him in an airport in Miami, Shes sure shes hallucinating since he doesnt respond to her, But she doesnt give up, and she endangers her life because of her tenacity,

This isnt a topflight series, but its ok, I will at least read the third book perhaps near the end of this year or early next,
A phenomenal suspense thriller from Katia Lief, bringing back expolice detective Karin Schaeffer, who survived the murderous wrath of a fiendish serial killer and now must confront new enemies along with her personal demons in the wake of her husbands unexplained disappearance.
You really have to feel sorry for Karin Schaeffer, in the first book, You Are Next, she's lost both her husband and daughter to a psychotic killer and in this, her second outing, boy does the missery just keep piling up.

This was a rather enjoyable quick read, the characters were nicely fleshed out, the plot had more twists and turns than the Spaghetti Junction and I was left guessing all the way through as to what was going to happen next and what was actually going on.

So why onlyThe ending, it felt really rushed, as if the author had a loose end that needed tying up, had a way to do so, but really didn't know why it was happening.
This belief was further cemented by the way nobody pressed for an explanation,
I'm left wondering where this series can go from here, these aren't your typical crime novel, the main character isn't working for the police, all the events happen to her and her family.
As enjoyable and easy to read as they are you have to think, there really is only so much pain, suffering and tragedy one family can endure,
I'm glad I came across Katia Lief, I'd recommend her to anybody who enjoys a good suspense novel, however I think I'll continue this series from the library rather than from my own pocket Karin Schaeffer is still living in Brooklyn, New York, about to celebrate her second wedding anniversary with her husband, Mac.
She and Mac receive an unexpected call that Mac's parents have been brutally murdered in an apparent home invasion, The day after the funeral Mac insists on going to work and promises Karin, “the next time you see me, Ill be, . . “ when she cuts off his sentence with a kiss, Then he disappears.

She still hasn't heard from him two weeks later, when she, and Mac's best friend and detective, Billy Staples are notified that the car he had apparently rented had been found in Long Island Sound.
After the car is retrieved there is no body, but Mac's shoe is found under the seat, Months go by without a word from him but Karin is convinced that Mac is still alive since no body has ever been found, She hires a private detective who discovers things about Macs past she never suspected and she decides to look for him herself,

I recently read the first book in this series and thought it was suspenseful and surprising, This story was fast paced with some twists and turns that most suspense readers will find pretty predictable, I enjoyed the book and plan to continue the series, Just when she thought she'd put her horrific past behind her, Karin Schaeffer is once again thrust on to the scene of a grisly murder that puts the family she just created in jeopardy.
In this sequel to You Are Next, Karin appears to have everything, a new husband and baby and college career that she loves, The nightmares from the serial killer that were haunting her are now gone and her life seems perfect, But as the day of her wedding anniversary to Mac approaches, her perfect life starts to turn sour, Mac's parents are killed in a bloody massacre where his brother is the prime suspect, Mac's grief starts to eat at him as he tries to find the truth behind the murders and as Karin waits for him at their anniversary dinner, Mac vanishes without a word.
Before long his car is found in the river with only his shoe found wedged under the gas pedal, As Karin continues to investigate the mystery of Mac's disappearance she realizes there's a lot about him she didn't know, She learns of his troubles at work and finds a purchase for an expensive jewelry piece that she never knew about and never saw, Contrary to what others say though she doesn't believe he's dead, and on a trip to Miami with a bubbly new friend she sees someone that looks just like her husband.
With information from a private investigator guiding her, she returns to Miami which leads to a series of events that end with a gun pointing at her head.
Is the man she saw really her husband and if so, what in his past has led Karin to again fear for her life and that of her son

This is a book full of twists and turns that keeps the pace moving along quickly.
Just when things appear to go well for Karin something comes along to put her in danger again, But Karin is no coward and will always sacrifice herself for those she loves, She'll always come out fighting instead of hiding in the corner, This keeps the reader rooting for her and excited to see what comes next, Helping to keep the plot exciting are a few characters from the previous book, most notably Mac, He's gone from work partner to personal partner in this book and more sides to his personality have emerged, He's not exactly the perfect man he appeared to us before, he has a dark past that comes back to harm his family, He tells lies and Karin at times questions the view she had of their marriage, It will take a lot of work to try to repair their marriage, Mac's not the only one who's not as he appears though, There are numerous characters who appear to be heroes only to change later on in the story, This keeps the reader in a constant state of distrust and fully immersed in the mystery, For lovers of suspense, this is a book that you will love, It will keep your heart pounding and questioning everything and everyone until the very last page, .
