She Will End This by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker New Release and Book Review

Help me congratulate Colleen and Rick on their newest release! Here’s the blurb:

True crime writer Britt Olsen knows the minds of monsters. She never expected to share their DNA.

A simple DNA test shatters everything Britt believes about her past. The father she loved was not her biological parent, and the mother she trusted has spent decades hiding her CIA past. Worse, Britt's real father is a disgraced Mossad assassin known in the intelligence underworld as Abaddon.

Before Britt can process the truth, violence strikes.

Five-year-old Willow Hamilton--the president's granddaughter--is kidnapped, and Abaddon becomes the prime suspect. Determined to help rescue the child, Britt joins forces with FBI Special Agent Stein Nordahl, a man who has spent years hunting the assassin responsible for his own father's death.

As the search intensifies, Britt and Stein uncover a web of secrets that reaches deep into the intelligence world. Forced on the run through the unforgiving Pacific Northwest wilderness, they face deadly ambushes, corrupt agents, and betrayals from people they thought they could trust.

But time is running out for Willow.

To save the girl and stop Abaddon's catastrophic plans, Britt must confront the darkest question of all--whether she is defined by the blood in her veins or the choices she makes.

Because the world's most dangerous assassin has finally come looking for his daughter.

And in a battle shaped by secrets, betrayal, and faith, Britt must decide what kind of legacy she will claim.

 

REVIEW

I enjoy a good romantic suspense tale, and this was no exception. I liked the chemistry that developed between Britt and Stein, with neither one of them knowing what to do about it. Plus, they were doing their best to protect Willow and get her back to her parents. I also enjoyed reading about Willow’s attachment to Britt – I mean, who could blame the five-year-old little girl for attaching to the person she felt safe with after all she had been through, but boy … Willow turned out to be one tough little girl.

I also enjoyed reading about Britt’s adventures, if you will, while she tried to come to grips with some of the secrets her mother held so close.

I thought I had figured out the whodunnit … well, that turned out to be an incorrect assumption on my part. I was a bit shocked at who that turned out to be.

I also liked the fact that Stein and Britt learned to call upon their faith in times of trouble. Not so much as to be off-putting but enough to know that there is definitely a Higher Power that we can call on when we need to. But Britt’s mom and her secrets? How could those have been hidden all these many years without Britt having a clue?

I hope that Britt and Stein have more adventures.
