Publisher: Revell

Publication Date: August 3rd, 2021

Genre: Christian Fiction/Christian Suspense

Series: Danger Never Sleeps


Synopsis:

Ava Jackson entered the military shortly after high school, but her mother's illness has forced her to request an early discharge. She already lost her father while deployed, and there's no way she's going to let her mother die alone. But after a visit to the nursing facility where her mother lives, Ava is attacked walking back to her car. Fortunately, FBI Special Agent Caden Denning arrives in time to help fight off her attacker.

Caden reveals to Ava that she may hold the key to the murders of three families, and he needs her help before anyone else is harmed. The hits show a pattern, and clearly the killer has an agenda. But if Caden and Ava can't discover what it is, Ava may be next on the hit list.

Bestselling author Lynette Eason concludes her latest suspense-filled series with a bang as secrets are revealed and the guilty are brought to justice.

My Review:

Hostile Intent is the explosive finale to Lynette Eason's Danger Never Sleeps, and it ended up being my personal favorite of the series. Ava and Caden's story is a roller coaster from start to finish, and I had a hard time putting this one down once I picked it up.

I've always loved the trope of childhood friends becoming something more in their adult years, and the author pulls off this type of romance beautifully and effortlessly. Caden and Ava grew up together, but there's a whole side of her life that he knew nothing about, until it seems to connect with a serial murder case he's currently working on. 

Lynette Eason is truly one of the best at crafting suspense stories that keep the reader at the edge of their seats for the entire story, and Hostile Intent is definitely my new favorite by her. The plot twists and turns, includes sinister elements that no one could have ever been prepared for, and showcases a beautiful romance starting to develop between the two main leads. I also appreciated the fact that while the faith element is not really at the front and center of the book, it's something that is important to both Ava and Caden and seemed to truly be a part of them that they definitely relied on, even in the midst of the dark, dark tunnel they've found themselves in.

A heart pounding nail biter, this one is definitely a great choice for fans of Christian suspense, and a perfect ending to a great series!

Final Rating: 4/5.

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...
