Amish Country Danger (Book 2)
Taking refuge in Amish country
may be her only chance to survive…
After nearly being kidnapped at a crime scene, forensic
photographer Leila Britton discovers that the serial killer who murdered her
twin sister has resurfaced—with Leila as his next intended victim. With her
life and her daughter's future at stake, Leila must place her trust in
Lieutenant Brett Talbot to protect them. But danger follows them relentlessly,
forcing them to seek refuge deep in Amish country. However, safety is fleeting,
and the killer seems to know every step she takes. Can Leila and Brett unmask
the killer before he fulfills his ultimate goal—and Leila runs out of places to
hide?
Terrific story with an intensity that kept me hooked from
beginning to end. Leila is a forensic photographer. She loved photography as a
teen, and when her twin died at the hands of a serial killer, she turned that
passion into a career. As the story opens, Leila is called to document the
crime scene. She's terrified when she realizes that this murder has the same
characteristics as her sister's, a feeling reinforced when she is attacked at
the scene.
Brett chose a life of service after surviving a traumatic
childhood. He's devoted his life to protecting those who need it, while
remaining emotionally distant. But there is something about Leila that gets
past his walls.
I enjoyed seeing Brett and Leila's relationship develop. Leila
learns that it is okay to lean on Brett's strength and still maintain her
independence. Brett realizes that real love does exist, despite what he
experienced as a child. I loved watching them together. Brett's protectiveness
toward Leila and her daughter, Evie, was sweet, and I loved how Evie took to
him right away. I liked how Brett gave Leila the space she needed at the end to
process everything she'd been through. The birthday party scene at the end was
adorable.
The action and suspense of the story were intense from
the get-go. We know that Leila is the target right from the beginning. It seems
that no matter what they do, the killer keeps finding them. Car chases, fires,
and additional murders keep the intensity high as Brett and Leila try to
identify the killer. A twist at the end blew a hole in my theory of who it was,
with a final confrontation that had me glued to the pages until it was over.
