Helloooooo blogger friends! Today is a bit bittersweet because this may be my very last review book. I may still post reviews here on occasion, but most likely this blog will become inactive for awhile. *hands out tissues to the 57 people who still view this blog*
Ahem, well, on to the review!
Back of the book:
Deputy Jenna Hart has only been working in her sleepy hometown of Pearl Springs for seven months when city officials begin to be targeted by a killer. Twenty years ago, the construction of a dam caused people to lose their land to eminent domain. That wound has not healed with time, and someone bearing a grudge is clearly set on revenge. With the former mayor of Pearl Springs now running for the US Senate, Jenna will have to call in backup to ensure his protection.
That's where Agent Maxwell Anderson comes in. He and Jenna used to work together in the Chattanooga Police Department, and there was even a smoldering fire of attraction. Now they team up to track down the killer before a big political rally that promises to bring not only the former mayor into the crosshairs but hundreds of civilians as well.
As the sparks of romance reignite and the threads of the investigation get tangled when another suspect comes into play, Jenna and Max will have to draw on all of their skills to stay alive and prevent the wave of disaster poised to hit the community of Pearl Springs. The question is, can either of them fully trust that the other has their back?

My Review:
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭒
I really enjoyed this book and I'm glad I got the chance to read it. The cover is stunning! The characters were likable, the setting unique. And the mystery had me wondering what was going to happen next!
Characters: Jenna was my favorite. She was courageous, but suffered from memories of her past. This opened the door for the "bad guy" to get inside her head. She had to overcome a lot of mental challenges as she regained her confidence as a deputy. Agent Maxwell Anderson, he was good at what he did, but I wasn't a huge fan of the way he would respond to conflict. I liked him for the most part though.
I'm a little surprised that they both didn't catch the break-ins sooner. They both were really smart, but it took them a little too long to realize someone had put bugs in her house.
Setting: I liked how this book captured the small town relationships. There was a few outings with coon dog training with Jenna's dad, I found that to be a unique aspect (not that I like hunting, but because I've never come across that in fiction before).
I thought its was super neat that the MC had a horse! I always liked the chapters where the horse barn was mentioned. The suspense was great!
It was almost like two mysteries rolled into one, but the plot kept me on the edge of my seat.
I look forward to reading more books by this author! Patrica Bradley always weaves entertaining plots, heartfelt characters, and interesting settings into her books. If you enjoy Christian suspense, I would recommend giving this one a try!
Happy Reading!
