My Thoughts

I try to read any book that Colleen writes, I really enjoy her suspense. I was excited to discover this stand alone novel. It isn't a terribly long book but it packs a lot into 322 pages. I loved the characters and story line. There was a great dual time line story going on that I loved. Both had me hooked and this book was difficult to put down. The romance was okay not really what drew me into the story.  Some things with the relationships were predictable but the suspense really made this one of my favorite books by Colleen. Also at the end of the book it notes that she has a new novel coming out in March! That is such great news and if you haven't read a book by Colleen Coble I highly recommend that you do!

Great suspense-five stars!
