FBI Special Agent Lance McGregor, a former Delta Force operator, is assigned to reopen the case, but he's coming up with more questions than answers. If Ginny Reed is still alive--who is the woman buried in her grave? Where is Ginny? And is Christy a pawn in a twisted cat-and-mouse game--or the target of a sinister plot? As he digs deeper, one thing becomes clear: whoever is behind the bizarre ruse has a deadly agenda.
Bestselling author and two-time Christy Award finalist Irene Hannon warms readers' hearts as they root for a romance between Lance and Christy, but she pulls out all the stops as this high-stakes thriller chills to the bone in a race to the finish.
My Thoughts:
I admit that this one started a bit slow for me, but
quickly picked up the pace. Around chapter four, it really hit a stride and I
simply could not put it down until I finished.
We first meet Christy as she is discovering that her
sister has died in a house fire. We learn that her parents also recently died,
and Christy is learning to cope. Then the letter arrives that shows that it was
not the sister in the burning house, and then this story gets so exciting. My
heart went out to Christy with all her loss and heartache, and then watching
her rollercoaster as she learns that her sister may not be dead.
Lance won my heart immediately. He is a rookie FBI with a
military background, but seems like a genuine good guy. He pretty much falls
for Christy the moment he first lays eyes on her, and I found myself hoping the
two of them would end up together.
As Lance and Christy work together to piece together the
mystery of the sister’s staged death, Christy’s life becomes endangered. This,
along with tragic events in Lance’s life, seems to equally push them together
and pull them apart. I was on the edge of my seat as things seemed to unfold
with Christy and the man that had been taunting her, but I could hardly stand
the suspense of feelings that also lingered between her and Lance.
This book was so captivating and a great suspense story.
