"The opening of the book had me hooked with an explosion in a performance hall. It detailed a girl who was with her two friends who had managed to escape. Her two friends wasn’t so lucky and she already had a mental disorder, now this led to having PTSD as well. She is in desperate need to seek vengeance on the person who killed her friends. <br/><br/>Dustin, a prior military man with knowledge of bombs, is being set up by someone when explosive devices was found in the trunk of his car. <br/><br/>Jaime, his childhood friend now attorney, will do everything she can to find out who is framing him. <br/><br/>Will they find out who is behind the act of terrorism before anyone else gets hurt?<br/><br/>This was a suspenseful story and if you enjoy crime mysteries this would be recommended to you. However, it didn’t hold my attention as much as I would have wished."
"Took me a while to finish. It’s a little bit slow in the beginning, but once you get past the first few chapters it really starts to pick up! I would absolutely recommend! Can’t wait to read her “If I Run” series."

"So... I don't really know how I feel about this book. It has a really captivating plot, and I didn't mind the Christian undertones (bc a good book is a good book regardless of the belief or lack thereof portrayed in it) but, the negative portrayal of the Atheist characters was a bit extreme. The tone and writing style was a bit underwhelming. It left a lot to be desired in terms of creating thrilling atmosphere and imagery. But, that's just my opinion. I'm sure others would enjoy it more than I"
