“The old cargo plane vibrated as the pilot descended into the airdrop zone, the turbulence shuddering through Carrie James. She braced herself on a bench a few feet from the secured freight – emergency supplies that could mean the difference between life and death in a food-starved, war-torn country.”

And so begins the next exciting adventure from this wonderful author. By the end of the prologue, I was stunned. And I continued to be surprised throughout the book. There is plenty of well-done action and suspense in this one. After awhile, I just hoped that the main characters would finally get a full night of sleep.

Carrie James is an Alaskan pilot. When she is hired to help try to find Trevor’s sister, she is skeptical. Especially since the search is based on a bunch of random aerial photographs. But soon she is caught up in a chase where present meets past. Will they be able to survive?

The plot is definitely original. While there are certain potential cliche parts, I do feel that the author was able to go beyond the predictable. I feel like I learned about a whole new field by reading this book.

I appreciate that the romance does not take over the storyline. I would call this one suspense with a bit of romance. The romance was properly paced.

This book is a sequel to “Cold Light of Day.” Some characters are definitely connected. But one could definitely read this novel as a stand-alone and follow along without a problem. Of course, I am glad that I read the books in order.

I was given an advanced copy of this book. I wanted to read it. All opinions are my own. 5 Stars.
