Countdown by Lynette Eason
3.0
Author Lynette Eason is back with another nail-biting, suspense-driven novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next!
HIGHLIGHTS:
Appalachia to Colorado Setting · Stalker · Hidden Past / Changed Identity · Serial Killer · Strong Female Lead · U.S. Marshal Male Lead · Secret Child · Friends to Lovers
As a long time reader of romantic suspense, especially in the Christian fiction world, I’ve found Lynette Eason to be a reliable, creative source for an exciting read time and again. This newest novel in her Extreme Measures series moved at a great pace, kept me invested and as always, had lovable, heroic characters with deep pasts and dark secrets.
Main character and flight paramedic Raina Price proved to be a wonderful female lead whom I greatly admired. Without giving too much of the story away, she overcame a dark past, faced difficult decisions and moved forward with a strength and resilience that was admirable in her character. I rooted for her from the very beginning and she might be my favorite female lead in this series! U.S. Marshal Vince Covelli was a surprising, and sweet, hero with a fiercely protective nature and determined grit. I loved these two together and enjoyed watching their friendship grow into romance.
The suspense in this novel ebbed and flowed at a great pace. As the plot unfolded, the action intensified and kept me engrossed in the story. While I didn't notice an element of surprise over the ending, I still found it to be heartwarming and satisfactory in how Eason tied the four books of this series together in deep friendships and sweet reunions.
With elements of romance, faith and trust, this suspense read is sure to delight readers who enjoy a high-stakes, hidden-threat type of story!
A solid three star read that is a definite recommendation from me! In fact, read the whole series!
Content and Trigger Warnings: Stalker, Domestic Abuse, Adoption from Birth Parent perspective, Murder, Serial Killer
*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts are my own and I was not required to post a positive review.
