Review: Make It Out Alive by Allison Brennan

Author: Allison Brennan
Publisher: Hanover Square Press
Publication Date: January 2026

 Three newlywed couples have disappeared from an exclusive resort in Florida, only to turn up dead soon after. With the location and the similarities between the female victims as their only leads, it’s up to the FBI Mobile Response Team to catch a serial killer before anyone else ends up dead. And they have the perfect bait—Detective Kara Quinn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the targeted women.

Undercover as newlyweds pretending to enjoy their honeymoon, Kara and FBI Agent Matt Costa set a flawless trap. When their plan works and they arrest the predator, Matt sends the rest of the team home so he and Kara can have the weekend for some much-needed R&R. But on Monday morning, the couple doesn’t show up to work, and the MRT learns they never checked out of their hotel.

As their team tries to find them, Matt and Kara learn the truth—the killer wasn’t acting alone. He had a partner who succeeded where he failed. Kidnapped and forced into a twisted escape room, they need to find a way out, because if they don’t escape, they’ll die.

Make it Out Alive is the seventh book in the Quinn & Acosta series.  Matt and Kara are at the end of a much needed vacation when they are abducted and wake up in a deadly escape house scenario.  Their team must race against time to find out happened to them.  I have to say that I really enjoyed this one much better than the previous book.  We get much more of Matt and Kara together. And honestly, they are why I keep reading this series.  I loved their interactions and how they worked together to get out of their situation.  I also really loved how the team has really become a cohesive unit by this book.  The overall msytery was good.  There were a lot of hold your breath moments.  I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
