Secondary Target (The Secrets of Kincaid, #1) by Angela Carlisle

Secondary Target (The Secrets of Kincaid, #1)ABOUT THE BOOK

After the brutal murder of her mother and brother twelve years ago, Corina Roberts built a new life in Kentucky. But then strange things begin to happen, and she is thrust into a perilous game of life and death. With nowhere else to turn, her best hope of survival depends on her ex, army veteran Bryce Jessup.

Recently returned from service, Bryce has every intention of staying away from Corina, but when threats close in around her, he isn't willing to leave her safety to chance. As their search for answers uncovers lethal secrets her detective father kept hidden, Bryce and Corina must untangle the mystery of the merciless killer intent on terrorizing and eliminating Corina's family before it's too late.

Debut author Angela Carlisle will leave you breathless with this bone-chilling story of a ruthless murderer, a deadly secret, and an unbreakable love.


MY THOUGHTS.....

How did I know that this would be a book that I would enjoy? The beginning paragraphs have a security alarm blaring, a German shepherd guard dog howling, and a young woman grabbing her .38 Special LadySmith revolver! Why did I find it hard to put down? Secondary Target is an exciting debut novel filled with non-stop action, heart-pounding suspense, and a frantic search for answers. Why has Corina Roberts become a killer's target?

It's hard to believe that this is Angela Carlisle's first published book. I loved the small-town setting, the relatable characters, and the myriad of emotions that are shared. I felt Corina's fear and trauma as she recalled a tragedy from her past and her uncertainty when Bryce Jessup returned to Kincaid, Kentucky. Would this be a temporary reunion or a second chance at love?

If you're looking for a page-turning novel filled with twists, turns, faith, and romance, grab a copy of Secondary Target. I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense and I look forward to another book from this Kentucky author!

I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Bethany House Publishers through Interviews & Reviews for my honest opinion.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
