Campus Bones

Dead Remaining, Book 3

By: Vivian Barz

Narrated by: Julie McKay

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.

Good Addition to the Series

This book, though good, lacked the complexity of the first two. Let's see more spirits!

Good Book

This book was a good addition to the series. It'll be interesting to see Jake becoming a private investigator in the future.

Loved the whole Series!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Audible version of the Dead Remaining series by Vivian Barz! The narrator is very talented! The characters were likable and the story line is well thought out. I'll be listening to more audiobooks by this author and narrator.

You Will Love This!

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!!!!!!

Well written, I hope there is more novels

ABSOLUTELY captivating and creative writing that draws you in and keeps you entertained for hours
