About the book:
She's never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of her sister.
FBI special agent Julianna Jameson is a top-notch negotiator, but when her much younger sister, Dottie, needs a place to live while she finishes high school, Julianna's skills will be put to the test.
Former sniper Clay Fox left the army after a tragic incident that he can't get past. Until he can figure out what to do with the rest of his life, he's working as a resource officer at a school. Dottie's school.
When Julianna is called in to negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister, he's impressed--and, if he's honest, a bit intimidated--by the calm, capable woman with the dark hair and blue eyes, and invites her to speak at the school.
But as the anniversary of a school shooting from Julianna's past approaches, it becomes clear that her perfect record is about to be tested and that Dottie is at risk. If Julianna and Clay can't figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and Dottie is next in line.

My review:
This was another winner from Lynette Eason! The suspense was amazing and I loved that we got to see what the bad guy was thinking throughout the book. There was a crazy twist at the end plus some nice closure for Clay for a situation from his past. I really liked Clay and how supportive he was of Julianna as she not only dealt with her demanding, dangerous job but also when she was going through tough stuff personally. Julianna was so amazing, from her skill at negotiating to taking in her sister as her guardian to helping figure out what was really happening. There was a little romance and many wonderful conversations about God's goodness, even amid suffering. Clay was having a harder time after a tragedy so had turned his back on God, Dottie's never seen a need for God and Julianna prays regularly and has a strong relationship with the Lord so it was interesting to see them in different parts of their journeys and how events impacted their view of God and reactions to Him. I really enjoyed Dottie, too, for her common sense and snark. This is book two and we got to catch up with her friends from the first book and I'm definitely looking forward to the third. You don't have to read them in order but I highly recommend both of them!
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
