Corbin didn’t even realize he resembled Clark Kent, with his ice-blue eyes, dark hair, and glasses. It was enough that the women in the office nicknamed him Clark and even accidentally called him that. He thought they just forgot his name.
Sprinkling just enough wit throughout the story to keep it from being overly suspenseful, author Sherri Shackelford has Corbin and Beth fleeing from one place to another in an attempt to elude their pursuers. She provided just enough clues to keep things interesting without blatantly giving away who was behind the money laundering and how the goons kept finding them as they ran.
I really liked the way that the author wove her faith throughout the pages of the story. Both Corbin and Beth were Christians and yet both struggled with their faith.
The suspense was at that perfect level for me, and the violence was not emphasized so the story was not gory. I will say that I made a mistake going to bed before I finished the book, though, because it did end up affecting my dreams last night. Oops!
Readers who enjoy authors such as Dana Mentink and Tanya Stowe are bound to enjoy this one as well. I just signed up for her mailing list. I want to be sure to read more books by this author!
