Hadley Baker can't believe her boyfriend finally invited her on a fancy hotel dinner date only to break up with her in public. Even more unbelievable is the moment FBI Agent JD Byers finds her crying in the women's restroom and demands she evacuate. Seconds after JD ushers Hadley outside, an explosion shatters the building. Could her life be any more disastrous?
JD didn't anticipate seeing Hadley, the beautiful schoolteacher, again after he saved her from the hotel attack. But soon after her ex-boyfriend became a lead suspect in the hotel bombing case, the man turned up dead—and now it seems that Hadley herself is a target. Determined to keep her safe, JD shelters Hadley as they join forces to put together the pieces of the perplexing case. When they discover the horrifying truth behind her ex-boyfriend's nefarious work, Hadley realizes her life is far from the only one being threatened. Countless others are in danger, and she and JD might hold the key to saving them.
Rorie's Review:
Over the last few years, I've become involved with an organization called Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) Before learning about this organization, I really never even thought about human trafficking. It has been so eye-opening, learning just how prevalent it is in our world. This story really hit close to home because of that knowledge. The story was a little choppy in some parts, but by the climax, I was almost on the edge of my seat, all of my muscles tensed up, hoping that the good guys would come out on top. Abramson has a talent for drawing the reader in and taking them on quite the adventure. I like how the author worked several familiar characters from the Guardians and the Saint Squad into this story. I always enjoy it when "old friends" show up in new stories. I'm hoping to see JD, Hadley, Kelsey and Noah show up in future stories as well, so I can continue to get to know them better. As always, I look forward to reading whatever Abramson comes up with next.
Tarah's Review:
This book caught my attention right away, and kept me reading until I was done. I will admit I was a little concerned when Kelsey and Noah showed up (but only because I thought their book was a little slow), but everything flowed really well for me. Normally when the perspective changes from the main characters I feel like it takes away from main story and I can't wait to get back to the main characters, but this one was incredibly well done and I didn't feel like anything was taken away from the story. It actually made me want to go back and reread some of the stories in the other series. I was also kept wondering if one of the characters was the bad guy or not. That was a fun change.
Human trafficking isn't something I thought a lot about, but recently I've read multiple books with this as a topic in it. This tells me that this is a problem that is more prevalent than I was aware of, and it makes me wonder what I can do to not only be aware, but to help.
This was definitely a book I will be rereading again and again, and one that I will definitely recommend as one of Abramson's best. Definitely in her top 10.
