In Safe Hands by Katie RuggleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Daisy has been homebound for eight years due to agoraphobia. She witnessed her mother's murder at a local store when she was 16. Her dad stays with her between jobs. Her best friend is Chris. These 2 are her only contact with the outside world. She is also in love with Chris. One night she witnessed something across the street in an empty house.
This was a bit different in that we know right away who the bad people are. So that changed the dynamic a bit since the reader knows and the characters on the page don't and will talk about how "by the book" this person is. Nice friends to lovers story. Chris brings in Lou and by default Callum (book 1). Lou is super social, so Rory & Ian (book 2), and Ellie & George (book 3) quickly follow. They all become friends with Daisy. Good mix of action and the whole story line with HDG's murder (headless dead guy, AKA Willard Gray- first book) and the arsons are wrapped up.
An epilogue would have been nice.
