Hello Friends :)
Thank you for joining me here today on The Preppy Book Princess.
Can I just say that our world is a little scary right now. Everything seems out of sorts, and so many people are giving in to panic and hysteria. I'm thankful more than ever for faith, and to be able to turn all of the turmoil I've been dealing with over to our Heavenly Father. Every single day I'm thankful that He's always there, and always has a hand on each and every situation.
Since I haven't really been leaving my house much other than to go to work, I've had lots of reading time on my hands, and I've found myself flying through quite a few books the last few weeks.
Today I'd like to share my review of an upcoming April 2020 release with you all.
Flight Risk by Cara Putman:
Source: Publisher via NetGalley
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Publication Date: April 7th, 2020
Genre: Christian Fiction/Christian Suspense
Synopsis:
Bestselling author Cara Putman returns with a romantic legal thriller that will challenge the assumptions of truth tellers everywhere.
Savannah Daniels has worked hard to build her law practice, to surround herself with good friends, and to be the loyal aunt her troubled niece can always count on. But since her ex-husband’s betrayal, she has trouble trusting anyone.
Jett Glover’s father committed suicide over a false newspaper report that ruined his reputation. Now a fierce champion of truth, Jett is writing the story of his journalism career—an international sex-trafficking exposé that will bring down a celebrity baseball player and the men closest to him, including Savannah’s ex-husband.
When Jett’s story breaks, tragedy ensues. Then a commercial airline crashes, and one of Savannah’s clients is implicated in the crash. Men connected to the scandal, including her ex, begin to die amid mysterious circumstances, and Savannah’s niece becomes an unwitting target.
Against their better instincts, Jett and Savannah join ranks to sort the facts from fiction. But can Savannah trust the reporter who threw her life into chaos? And can Jett face the possibility that he’s made the biggest mistake of his life?

My Review:
I'd never personally read a book by Cara Putman before I picked up Flight Risk, but as a huge fan of the Christian suspense genre, she's an author I've had recommended to me quite a few times. After finishing this one in almost one sitting, I can wholeheartedly say that I will be on the lookout for more of her books in the future.
Flight Risk is a legal thriller that combines several different components into one big tangled web of deceit that will keep readers guessing through every single plot twist and turn. Savannah Daniels owns her own prominent law firm, and she's currently in the middle of a big case involving airplane technology. She's already got a lot on her plate, including the constant care of her sister and her niece, who also happens to be the daughter of her ex-husband. When journalist Jett Glover writes an expose piece on Savannah's ex-husband's involvement with two of his friends in a human-trafficking case, the two are thrown together in the aftermath. The article is attracting attention everywhere it goes, and sinister events are following in its wake. Rumors begin to swirl that the article wasn't the whole truth, and that hits a little too close to home for Jett. He and Savannah will stop at nothing to get to the truth once and for all, even if there's someone out there who will stop at nothing to keep it from ever seeing the light of the day.
With a heart pounding mystery, prose that is both engaging and gripping, and characters that are truly well rounded and a pleasure to read about it, Flight Risk is truly a fantastic read from start to finish. The backstory will tug at every reader's emotions, and you'll be on the edge of your seat as new twists and turns happen around every corner. I found myself rooting for both Savannah and Jett, and their similar qualities in wanting to protect those closest to them, and get to the truth in every situation. With a focus on the negative outcome of journalism, and the need for integrity, especially in the age of social media, I truly think this is a story that's going to appeal to a wide variety of readers.
My only personal complaint is that I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the developing romance between Savannah and Jett, but I was happy with the bits the reader is given, and with the fact that the author did not choose to go with the insta-love trope, which I personally am never a fan of.
Flight Risk is a gripping read that will have readers truly wound up tight in the well paced and well plotted mystery, and questioning every character at one point or another. Even though I had figured out some of the mystery, I was still blown away by the final reveals; a fact that I loved.
Definitely pick this one up if you're a fan of Christian suspense stories as I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Final Rating: 4/5
Thanks so much to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for the opportunity to advance read this!
