"Received this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley! <br/><br/>So first of all I had no idea this book had anything to do with Christianity or anything religious at all, I myself am not a religious person, but in my opinion it wasn't overbearing where i would have chose not to read this book had i known about it, It was not all about religion it was not too over the top where it became annoying to read, honestly I loved this book whether it had anything to do with it or not. The description of this book blew my mind, I had to have it after that, this is a book i would have happily paid for definitely not regretted afterwards! <br/><br/> I have never heard of Terri Blackstock before this book and honestly I'm not really sure why she isn't a bigger deal, this book kept me hooked from the first chapter, I read it all in one sitting there was no way i was putting this down! Right now I am VERY anxiously waiting to be approved for the second book, I can NOT let this book end on this cliffhanger and not find out what happens to Casey! I fell in love with Casey's character and personality, I Love the risks she took no matter how much she knew they would be her downfall, She did what she knew was right and she put a family's world back together again and did not care what could have happened to her in the long run, I really like Dylan's character and want to see how this plays out. I think he will be a trusty ally and end up helping her clear her name and maybe even help his own career in the process! I'm also hoping there is a little bit more of Laura's story in the next book to see how she is coping back in her life. I am very glad to have this new series in my life!"

"This book if full of suspense and mystery! Terri Blackstock never fails in keeping you intrigued and building suspense throughout the book to a conclusion that you never saw coming. The audiobook was fantastically read and added to the thrill. Can't wait for the next book in this series to come out to see what happens next!"

"This was an AMAZING book. The twists and each chapter is on the shorter side. You got dual points of view, romance, and murder/thriller. In the later books, you even get a point of view from the killer. i like how it starts off with a bang and goes straight to the plot. No useless waiting for plot. "

"Such a great book!! The first line in the book says “There was blood on the bottom of my shoes.” I finished it pretty quickly, and the whole thing was entertaining. I can’t wait to read the next two books in the series! I also love the Christian author and cleanliness of it!! 5/5⭐️"
