My Thoughts

In book two of the Shadows series Rick Reiley's  sister Kerry is kidnapped by a deranged criminal. He makes demands that can not and will not be met.  Rick contacts an acquaintance that is more than qualified to track down the kidnapper's hiding place and rescue his sister.  Kerry though frightened plans and attempts escape just as Luke locates the cabin when they are holding her hostage.  

Will Luke be able to rescue her?  If so he will have to find a safe place for her in case there is another attempt to kidnap her or worse?  Can he manage to protect his heart while protecting her from a mad man?

I had a hard time putting this book down.  I was impressed with the authors creation of characters within Kerry's family.  They had such a bond with each family member and their faith and trust in God was inspiring. 
The characters were living proof of God's love for his children.  They were depicted as his disciples as they planted seeds of faith and trust in Luke's heart.  He had hardened his heart toward God.

I highly recommend this book.

I rated this book a 5 out of 5.

About:

“…It is the price you pay for choosing to be a cop. Your brother’s life…”

Those words haunt her dreams, and her waking moments. LAPD officer, Aurora Kavvan cannot rest until she finds her brothers killer. Digging into the past always brings back unpleasant things: memories, guilt…the hit man. Now she is in a race against time to find the murderer before he finds her.

“Kill her. I don’t care how, and I don’t care where, but I want her dead now!”

Someone was trying to kill his dead partner’s sister. FBI agent, Jordan Reiley will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves. Even if it means going against her wishes; putting himself between her and the man who murdered her brother.

Will God keep them alive long enough for them to find the truth?

original title Shadows from the Past


My Thoughts:
Aurora Kavvan, an LAPD officer, shuts herself off from everyone that loves and cares about her.  She blames herself for her brothers death.  She has even stopped praying and talking to God.  How could God let this happen to her brother?  It is like she has no right for happiness or forgiveness. Everyone must blame her.  That is what she is thinking and instead of facing them with her feelings and opening her heart to God she puts up a wall.  It is harder to forgive oneself than it is to forgive others.

When she is faced with death threats and a friend/partner ends up seriously injured, she is thrown back into her ex fiancee, FBI agent, Jordan Reiley's life.  Not as his girlfriend but under protective custody.  He protects her not only because it is his job but because he is still in love with her.  But she still has a wall up between her heart and everyone else including him.

The author spins a good tale of suspense.  I can normally figure out who the secretive bad person is but not in this book.  I thought I had it figured out several times.  This was definitely a good mystery to the very end.  It was hard to put the book down.  I am so glad I can jump right into books 2 and 3 in the series.  

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy  good mystery/suspense.

I rate this book a 5 out of 5
