Caught in the Crossfire by Nichole Severn
5.0
Synopsis:
The Blackhawk Security Series is back, with the story of its resident profiler Kate Monroe. Back at work, just when she thinks that’s she’s ready to visit the home she shared with her deceased husband, Declan, is when she sees him again. He’s alive!
Special Agent Declan Monroe cannot remember his life or his wife. He can’t remember anything before he woke up in a hospital bed with bullet wounds, almost a year ago. Apart from the vague memories of a woman, he has no recollection of his previous life, apart from the horrors he has had to see in the hospital. When he finally reaches the place he thinks he shared with that woman, he finds her there. And just like that, there’s another shoot-out.
Review:
I love amnesia stories. It is my second most favourite trope. And to know that my favourite author wrote it, double yippee! Starting from the Cast of Characters to the dedication, this story won my heart. Yep, even before I started reading it. Jokes apart, this is a very intense and beautiful read!
Kate is a psychologist and yet she feels at a loss as she’s unable to move past her own pain. It’s been a year since the incident that took away her husband. She’s recovered from her physical injuries, but the emotional ones are an altogether different matter. Especially when she comes to know that Declan was alive and still hadn’t reached out to her.
There is so much pain, the night when the gruesome incident took place about a year ago. Kate lost so much and having Declan back, though not really, was causing her more anguish. And Declan, to have lived a whole year without knowing who you are, whether you have anyone in this whole world. It is so scary, despite how strong one is.
The entire Blackhawk Security Series is funnily, or in a gruesome way (depends on how you look at it – the former for me) a test in pain and endurance. The level of physical hurt seems to kick up a notch as the books proceed. The others making an appearance here as a team was like a dream come true, the wonderful experience of reading the previous books came back. Also, I loved the major connection that this one had with the first book.
I didn’t like a certain character from the start and I was so glad that that same person turned out to be the rotten one. Everyone’s hiding something from the other, so many secrets to unravel. Blackhawk Security Series just raises the bar with each successive book!
There is an ending six weeks later, kind of an epilogue, which is heart-warming.
P.S. On a lighter note, the Mindhunter team will have a field day with the villain in this one.
Thank you to the author for an e-ARC of the book.
The other books by the author that I have read and also recommend are:
Blackhawk Security Series
Rules In Blackmail | Rules in Rescue | Rules in Deceit | Rules in Defiance | Caught in the Crossfire | The Line of Duty
Blackhawk Security Novella
Search and Rescue | Search and Protect | Rules in Revenge | Search and Defend | Search and Pursue
Midnight Abduction (Tactical Crime Division #3)
Marshal Law Series
The Fugitive | The Witness
