Hang on for a wild ride!

Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a wild ride!

I loved this book, and especially the way that author Dana Mentink knew just how much backstory was needed. And how much to reveal at which part of this excellent book.

Lightening the mood was Ben, Jane's son. He was simply adorable with his love for ""twains"". His innocence contrasting with the evil of his father was stark. With the added suspense of what Wade would do when he discovered Jane's secret, just ... Wow!

The unknown person who helped Wade escape from prison provided plenty of mystery. With ample clues and misdirection, I was kept guessing at their identity until the end.

Mitch had difficulty believing in a God who would allow such evil to exist - Jane had to believe in God to give her hope in the face of it. Both struggled with guilt over crimes they didn't commit but thought they should have known about and prevented.

I'm so excited about this new series! I'm guessing Liam and Chad will be getting stories next and am really looking forward to seeing what suspenseful situations Dana Mentink comes up with for them!
