My Thoughts:
I liked how our author created a mystery that’s not directly related to either main character. The mystery indirectly touches one, which also affects the other. But we need them in order to solve said mystery. Loved the suspense that helped me turn the page with anticipation. I kept looking for what was going to come around the next corner. However, I did expect to see more of Luke’s partner. And that was my one disappointment - I wanted more dog time. I’ll just have to plan on some cuddle time going forward. I do understand that there’s only so much that these dogs can do when it comes to their job. And I can always watch one of my favorite shows, North Woods Law.
This was a book of several firsts for me. This was my first Love Inspired Suspense book. This was the first book that I’ve read by this author. And of course this is the first book in a new series. Having all the books in the series being written by different authors may also mean more new authors for me.

My Thoughts:
Grace Lawrence doesn’t believe what’s going on around her. Then our author rolls up her other sleeve and gives us another twist. With now two twists in the mix I may have to put on some Chubby Checker music in case any more pop up. The author made her scenes very easy to follow but you always wondered what might be around the next corner. Everything she writes seems so believable and you could picture some of the scenes playing out in the news – especially with how our world is today. The author’s also very good at creating tension and heat between our main characters.
I would have no trouble seeing this play out as a television movie either. If it ever did, I know I would watch and probably more than once. Just as I can see this book being in my rare list of books that I would read more than once. And I’ve ended up with a new author to follow as well as a new series.
