ABOUT THE BOOK:

Danger awaits on a covert mission where few are who they seem to be

When the daughter of a high-profile businessman disappears from an exclusive girls' boarding school, police detective Cate Reilly is tapped for an undercover assignment. It doesn't take her long to realize that beneath its veneer of polish and wealth, Ivy Hill Academy harbors dark--and deadly--secrets. But the biggest shock of all? The only man she ever loved is also working at the school.

Zeke Sloan has never forgotten Cate, but now isn't the best time for their paths to cross again. When their two seemingly disparate agendas begin to intertwine--and startling connections emerge among the players--the danger escalates significantly.

But who is the mastermind behind the elaborate ruse? And how far will they go to protect their house of cards?

MY REVIEW:

This book is the second installment of the author's Triple Threat Christian romantic suspense series. I read and reviewed the first book in the series, Point of Danger, and was eager to read this book when it came up for review through the Revell Reads Blogger Program.

 

Zeke Sloan and Cate Reilly have a history. A history that left lingering feelings of betrayal and remorse--it's the reader's challenge to figure out which emotion each of these strong lead characters possesses.

The story grabbed my attention from the beginning when Cate is asked by her employer to take on a mission that she definitely does not want to assume. She has her reasons lined up in her mind for why she won't work undercover ever again, but her superior's appeal to her passion for justice causes her to throw herself into this new mission whole-heartedly.

Zeke Sloan is being chased by demons of his own which causes him to take on high-risk assignments for his employer. His quest to make amends for his past and his strong sense of justice spur him into action on his newest assignment.

 

This complex and well-written plot are accentuated by the underlying feelings both of the protagonists have for each other. The addition of diverse characters such as a young African-American teen, Kayla, and a nice Latino couple who innocently became entangled in this web of crime and criminals were bonuses to me.

 

I enjoyed reading how various individuals worked as a team to sort through clues and gather information in order to put the mystery together and solve the case.

 

There is quite a bit of violence which the author handled with discretion. The story held my interest until the end of the book. The faith thread is present in an 'off page' manner. This book is completely clean in language and content.

 

I received a paperback copy of this book from the publisher through their Revell Reads Blogger Program. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.
