Publisher's summary

As she opens her eyes and takes in the dark, damp Earth, her heart races. She tries to move, but the rope binding her feet cuts tight—she’s trapped underground. Heavy footsteps pace above. A tear falls down her cheek as she stifles a scream. He’s walking away. He’s left her for dead.

When a shallow grave is discovered in the dark pine forest surrounding Black Rock Falls, Sheriff Jenna Alton rushes to investigate. After unearthing the old bones, Jenna scours the area for clues, and her heart beats wildly when she bumps into a teenage girl, breathless and covered in dirt. Wanda Beauchamp tells Jenna she was kidnapped from her foster home and buried alive. Could the kidnapper be linked to the shallow grave?

Taking in Wanda’s thin frame, Jenna knows the poor girl is close to death. She’ll do everything she can to save her, but they’re miles from anywhere, and night is falling fast. When Wanda falls, the kidnapper makes his move, and Jenna is powerless to stop him taking the young girl’s life. Escaping the same fate, she is wracked with guilt and vows to bring the ruthless killer to justice.

When another girl is reported missing from a foster home, Jenna and her deputy David Kane know they must act fast to save her. Jenna believes the murderer lives off-grid, and a clue at a local supply store finally leads her to a remote cabin in the woods.

Still haunted by Wanda’s last moments, can Jenna lay a trap to outsmart this twisted killer preying on young girls? Or did she just put herself in unthinkable danger?

This absolutely gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh, and Kendra Elliot. From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author D.K. Hood, Where Hidden Souls Lie will have you gasping for breath!

Each Kane and Alton book can be listened to as part of the series or as a stand-alone.

Where hidden souls lie

Another excellent piece, I love this series, I don’t know what am I going to do they say this finish.

One of the best in this series!!!!

It’s so nice to listen to a Kane and Alton book that didn’t involve a serial killer! This book had a great plot and a few backstories going on as well.

The primary focus was on girls going missing. One girl/woman was murdered right in front of Jenna. They had come across each other in the forest. The woman was running from a man who had buried her alive. She had been his prisoner for four years, since she was 14 years old. He was ready for a new girl.
I’m not a fan of Patricia Rodriguez. I find her narrative overly dramatic and slow and I generally listen to her at 1.2 or 1.3 times the normal speed.

This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Where Hidden Souls Lie

Another great book in the Kane and Alton series. This series is by far my favorite. I love all the characters and as I’m listening to the Audible book they become family and friends for a time. It is great to take a short trip with family and friends. D. K. Hood is the best. Please keep these books coming!

Good Book - Narrator Over the Top

I really enjoy the Kane and Alton series but the narrator is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. I wish she would not be so over dramatic. I love my audiobooks and this was a good story but I wish that the narrator would tone it down a bit. Her voice doesn't build suspense for me it just makes me crazy for some reason. Other than that I enjoyed the story.
