    5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing addition to the Count to Ten series!!

    Oh, I just loved reading Five! I l am not usually a big fan of past-present time transitions but in this story, it was done just right! I love that this series can take very difficult real-life situations which bring me to the brink of horror but they never push me over the edge to where I am traumatized, and believe me that could easily be done with some of the scenarios that are introduced in this series. Five was a page turning thriller for me and it kept me up long into the night because I had to finish it! Overall, Five was amazing and I highly suggest that you read the Count to Ten series so that you can truly get everything out of Five! Such a good read.

    This review is based on a complimentary book I received from Author, Jane Blythe. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.

    Jane Blythe has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I started reading the Count to Ten series and haven't been able to stop; Five is no exception.
    A gripping, raw, emotionally taxing, suspenseful story continues as we are introduced to five girls who were abducted and being held against their will by a psychotic man bent on replacing the family that he lost. After five long years he's losing his control and will stop at nothing for his "family".

    Paiges' stalker is back and has vowed that she has to die. Cue the ending......Aaaarrghhh! Cliffhanger
    All I can say is Six needs to come out soon!

    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2018
    When Eliza was 18 years old she was kidnapped by a man named Malachi who all together kidnapped four girls and changed their names. Now she lives in fear and she fears what will happen to her “sisters” as they get older. Eliza knows the only chance they have is for her to injure herself enough to go to the hospital so her sisters, Alice, Angela, Abby and Arianna, can escape or get help.
    Sofia Xander is running herself to the point of exhaustion and finally her body gives out and she finds herself in the hospital. With her is her husband, Detective Ryan Xander as well as his brother, Detective Jack Xander and his wife Laura who suffers from panic attacks.
    When Laura meets Alice in the hospital it is clear that the girl fears someone but will she open up enough for Laura to get her the help she needs. Will the truth sound so unbelievable that no one will believe Alice and will she ever be able to escape from Malachi?
    This was such a great book with some great twists and turns that had me wondering what was going to happen next.
    The premise of this one is a little different than the others as our main characters have all moved on with their respective lives but are brought to the hospital to help out Sofia.
    I thought Laura was great in this one as her personality and past experiences allowed Alice to trust her and open up about what she was going through. I was a little mad at the men, especially Detective Xavier Montague for not trusting her as much as they should. My heart was shattered for what Alice and her sisters, especially Eliza, had to endure.
    I liked how everyone worked together to solve the crime. We got to see a more prominent role of Det Paige Hood in this book and she had her own problems in this book and hopefully we see more of her in the next book.
    The stuff with Dr. Bruce Daniels was super creepy and the guy is seriously nuts. Although I must admit I was completely shocked at the twist at the end revolving him as I did not expect that at all!
    This is such a great series and I am looking forward to the next one! - By Rebecca

    5.0 out of 5 stars This series is so addictive, I love it.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020
    Holy moly this author has done it again! Excitement plus, action and drama galore, emotional overload plus more!

    This new story focuses on the kidnapping of four girls ranging in ages and their abductor. As well we catch up with past characters who feel almost like friends by now. 😆 Sofia and Ryan, Laura and Jack, Paige, Xavier and Annabelle. It’s wonderful to find out how everyone is going, what they’ve been up to and how they’ve been coping. Oh and a doctor from earlier on... he makes a come back too! 😉

    Straight I will admit Annabelle nearly drove me nuts, mind you she was pretty much doing a good job of that to herself and Xavier as well. I know the author is building up to something bigger in Six and can honestly say she has portrayed her well in this book.

    The emotions felt when reading this story go from fear to anger to happiness to every other feeling in between. You surely do go on an emotional roller coaster, but that’s good. The author hooks you in right from the beginning and you are hooked the entire way through the story. Now I need to read Six, I have to read Six, I must read Six- this is how compelling this series is to readers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a great Suspense Novel?? Then look no further!! Five is 10 stars amazing!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2018
    I have been so behind getting through my TBR, I wished I would have read Five a lot sooner! Holy Sh*% what did I just read? Five blew me away and had me on the edge the whole time. Jane Blythe's Count to Ten series are eerily intense and I love every story she brings with these series. I have been following this series and I feel that we are at the midpoint of where it needs to be.

    The men are back with their significant others and are living a nightmare all over again. One of my favorite couples are having problems and I am rooting for them 110%! I am nervous that it might be too late for them though. The woman have their battles and scars. Jane still makes them strong willed and when the time comes, they will fight to the end.

    Five made my heart cry for the new characters that we were introduced to. I was hoping we would get closure, but it looks like there is still so much more that needs to be told. Five had me holding my breath and bite down my nails. Only Jane can bring this kind of story that has me begging for more! If you have not read Five yet, you need to ASAP!
