Book description:
A witness in peril. A K-9 protector. A fight for survival.
After witnessing her best friend’s murder, Kristina Ashbaugh-Richards and her search and rescue dog, Bella, find themselves targeted by the killer. Kris can identify the criminal — and she’s exactly what he looks for in his victims. Her high school crush, Detective Tony Sanderson, vows to protect Kris and her son, but as they try to outwit a dangerous murderer, no place is safe to hide. With her life at stake, Kris’s only hope of survival is to catch the serial killer before he catches her.
My review:
I am not a dog lover, but I love a good K-9 suspense story for some reason. And this is a really good K-9 suspense novel. It is also a serial killer story, so even better. :)
I am always amazed at how much Love Inspired authors pack into these little books. It comes in at 208 pages, but the author got a lot into those 208 pages. Non stop suspense, romance, really bad weather, and a really, really bad guy. And even a cold case solved.
I loved the book. It had great and likable characters, including Gavin, Kris' son. And it is refreshing to read novels occasionally where the couple already knows each other and has had some kind of romantic relationship or attraction.
The book also had a great lesson. Kris thought she knew what had happened between her father and Tony's father, and had carried a lot of bitterness and anger towards his family.....only to discover she didn't know everything. And I loved how his family helped her after how she had felt towards them.
The book had a great climatic ending to it. Oh you know in these books the main characters aren't going to die, yet a good author can write parts like that so you are still on the edge of your seat hoping for rescue. And it also had a great ending on the romantic aspect of the book. :)
Special thanks to the author for an advance copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
About the author:
From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special events decorating company, Carol's résumé reads as if she doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is her love for writing. She started as a child writing poetry for family and friends, then graduated to articles and finally novels.
Carol lives in sunshiny Central Florida and writes fun and fast-paced inspirational romance and romantic suspense. Her books have received a 2016 Royal Palm Literary Award and been nominated for a 2016 RITA® award and a 2014 RT Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Award. She is also a popular speaker, presenting workshops on a variety of craft topics. Besides writing, she enjoys sailing, hiking, camping—almost anything outdoors. Her two grown daughters and grandkids live too far away for her liking, so she now pours all that nurturing into taking care of a fat and sassy black cat and a highly-spoiled dachshund.
