My Thoughts:
I chose a dark, stormy day to settle in with this book because it was a perfect mood setting for a suspense novel. Let me tell you, I would have felt the ominous presence and still had my hair standing on end in anticipation at what Kate Angelo had written on a bright, sunshine-y day. Once I read the first chapter, I put everything else on the backburner because I was completely invested.
We are immediately introduced to Dr. Belinda Lewis who is in the middle of a research project for a unique form of algae to create an all-natural sunscreen. We quickly learn that she helped save a woman from losing her life to a serial killer. But now, that same serial killer has his eyes set on her. FBI agent Jonah Phillips is hiding out nearby as he’s off-grid and off-assignment. This is one of those crucial moments where we realize that even if we’re not exactly where we want to be in life, sometimes we’re exactly where we need to be.
Jonah risks his being discovered and saves Belinda from the Trailside Strangler. From that moment, she has to find trust in him and a hope that Jonah can help her recover the memories she’s lost and testify against the serial killer. I loved how their off-setting personalities begin to mesh and help them each grow as individuals and a couple bound together by (potential) tragedy. The author did a phenomenal job of giving us a book that keeps the hairs on the back of your neck and on your arms while giving you a sense of warmth with faith, love, and reminding you of what is truly important in life.
