My Review:

This is a five-star read! A clean plot, suspense, a few twists, romance, and some faith elements, this book is it. It exceeded my expectations.
From the moment Maddie had to attend her aunt's funeral, from a plane crash, I was hooked. I yelped as she made some, to my way of thinking, scary choices. However, those decisions led her to a path that needed to happen. Joze was brave, and I adored his ability to be emotional and forthcoming. I know EMTs and others in fields like this and they often are more like Joze. It endeared him to me. Things that would have irked me in other books, didn't bother me at all in this one. I loved how fast the reading went and the cover is super cool.

About the Author 

Erin Unger was raised in the hills of Virginia, exploring abandoned houses and reading the scariest books she could find. After marrying so young it would make a great romance novel, she has enjoyed an exciting life with her hubby. But her fast-paced life sometimes rivals the suspense in her books thanks to all her grown children and a couple grandkids.

More from Erin

Books are powerful. Whole other worlds can unfold in a few well-stated sentences. There’s nothing like that feeling a reader gets when the perfect book is open on their lap and it pulls them in on the first page. It’s like a gift. Sometimes they make us rethink long held ideas. At times they mirror what we’re going through. And sometimes they remind us of areas in our lives we haven’t worked on.
But not every book is for every person. Sometimes it’s not the best seller that struck the right cord, or the book everyone’s reading, it’s the one you stumbled upon on a special or heard of from a friend. It’s a God-ordained tool to show us His ways and plans.
As Christian writers, the power to transform is even more in our hands. We have the ability to show how great our God is and how he works in the most unusual ways at times. We use our gift to do more than only entertain, we want to make Him more real to our readers. We want to show them how to grow and change as our characters do. And it’s amazing that we can use fiction to do so.
Next time you pick up a book, see if you can find the message hidden in the character’s struggles. Maybe God used a writer to put it there just for you to learn.
