Book Review

Thoughts
Before reading this book, I had heard of Lynette Eason but had never read any of her books, but now I would love to read more.
I don’t typically read thrillers, but the premise that included a romance and the fact that the author writes Christian fiction intrigued me enough to give it a try.
I really ended up enjoying this book so much that I listened to the whole book in one day.
It’s the kind of story that you just can’t put down because you want to know what happens next. I also couldn’t guess the mystery aspect at all, so the reveal at the end was great.
The faith elements really added to the story, and I found them to be realistic and relatable.
The audiobook was excellent, and I definitely recommend it if you like audiobooks.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I would recommend this book if you’re looking for a fast-paced book with an unpredictable plot, lovable characters, and a sweet romance.
