Life Flight, Extreme Measures #1 by Lynette Eason

Book description:


 EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton is used to high stress situations, but being forced to land on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient--and a serial killer on the loose--tests her skills and her nerve to the limit. She survives with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield's help. But she's not out of the woods yet.

In the ensuing days, Penny finds herself under attack. And when news reaches Holt that he may not have gotten his man after all, it will take all he and Penny have to catch a killer--before he catches one of them.

Bestselling and award-winning author Lynette Eason is back with another high-octane tale of close calls, narrow escapes, and the fight to bring a nefarious criminal to justice.

My review:

   Lynette Eason never disappoints, and I am always excited to see a new book and series coming out by her. I have read all of her Revell books and loved them, and read all, or most of her Love Inspired books and also loved them. To review this book was a no-brainer.

  The book does not slowly go into the drama and suspense these books have. It launches immediately into it on page one with a life flight in trouble, then a forced landing, and a serial killer on the loose.

  There was a lot going on in this book, and everything was pretty much non-stop action, drama, and suspense. There were some things I did not see coming at all -  especially in regards to the serial killer - and there was one thing I did see coming in regards to a criminal towards the end of the book, I am kind of proud to say.

  Both main characters were extremely likable, and Eason did something that is not quite the normal for romantic suspense novels: the two main characters were already dating when the book began, and did not meet, fall in love, and get married while dodging bullets...not that there is anything wrong with that. It was just a good kind of different that the hero and heroine were already involved, and made the romance angle all  the more interesting and believable. 

  This was a read in one sitting book, if you can make the time......and I did. The idea of Life Flights has always intrigued me, so that made a great story all the more interesting to me. And of course the serial killer stalker ramped up the suspense. Life Flight is definitely a great start to a new series that promises to be standard setting Christian suspense. 

I was provided a copy of this book for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own.
