My Thoughts:
It takes a great book to read the entire thing in one
sitting – this is one of this books. Each time I told myself to go to bed, I
kept reading. I just had to know what was going to happen next.
Nikki and the team are called to action to find Lucy, a
young wife gone missing after the mysterious death of her husband and the
discovery of two murdered men in her home. However, the missing person case
quickly becomes a tangled web of homicides, pharmaceutical schemes, blackmail,
kidnappings, robberies, and (of course),
love. With each chapter, the story became
more of a maze, and I could not wait to see how Nikki, Jack, and Gwen were going to figure it all out.
Throughout the book, we also get a little more insight into
the disappearance of Nikki’s sister, Sarah, ten years ago. We learned pieces of
this story in the first book, and I hope her case is also solved as this series
continues with Nikki investigating it. More details are revealed about the days leading up to Sarah’s disappearance, and the frame of mind Nikki was
in before her sister went missing.
We get to see Nikki turn to God when she thinks things
are impossible. She asks for His strength in finishing the investigation,
finding Lucy, and bringing the guilty to justice.
We also get to see more of the friendship between Nikki
and Tyler. They have such a unique relationship
following the death of Tyler’s wife, and Katie’s best friend, and watching
their friendship grow is so exciting. Decisions they must make toward
the end of this book will change the course of their future together, and it
was sweet to see each of them include God in that decision-making process.
I loved the first book in this series, and this has
topped it! I hope the next book is not far behind because I am on pins and
needles to find out how everything is going to come full circle for Nikki in
life.
