What We Hide by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker gives readers an intriguing mystery. Savannah Webster is in deep trouble. She’s been accused of murder, and she turns towards the best attorney she knows, her ex-husband, Hez. While trying to clear Savannah’s name, they start to uncover secret after dangerous secret.

I love this kickoff to the series and love novels where everyone is a suspect. Readers get the best from both authors. Coble brings the suspense mixed with heartwarming characters, and Acker brings the legal twists and turns.  The emotional drama grips readers with Savannah and Hez having to deal with their past head on. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

The Crown Conspiracy by Connie Mann is such an adventure that readers won’t be able to put it down.

I love adventure stories, and who doesn’t love a few conspiracies thrown in with intriguing setting and characters? Sophie Williams is a professional art forger…well, maybe not a pro— she secretly paints forgeries to protect the real art. But she becomes a target when she uncovers a series of portraits that had been lost. Now everyone wants these paintings and will kill to get them. Sophie just wants to find her missing friend, but discovers that help comes in unlikely forms, like an ancient secret society called Speranza.

This story has a unique setting in Germany, but transports readers all over Europe. But what I loved about The Crown Conspiracy is all the twists and turns. So much action and suspense kept me hooked, but the characters drive the story. Sophie is likeable as the Robin Hood chameleon, always changing her look to get her closer to what she wants. And the other characters that step in to help her are equally intriguing. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves to read epic adventures with picturesque scenery and twisted mysteries.

Secondary Target by Angela Carlisle is a fast-past thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

Corina Roberts can’t understand why she’s the target of a killer. But she begins to understand when she unravels her past. Someone with a longstanding vendetta against her family has set his sights on Corina, and her ex-boyfriend Bryce Jessup steps in to investigate and protect her. But the killer seems to know their every move.

I love the plot twists in this story! Each page brings more suspense as the killer escalates. And the story contains quite a lot of the killers point of view, which makes the story extra-intense. I There’s some romance, but most of the story is focused on investigating and trying to dodge a madman’s threats. Definitely a run-for-your-life story. I enjoyed Secondary Target and can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

The Vanished by Cara Putman is a delightful and intriguing mystery. Janae Simmons moves back to her small town and teams up with museum director Carter Montgomery. He’s her first client in her new law practice, and mystery surrounds several paintings over the original ownership. But what’s more intriguing is the artwork Janae finds stashed away in her late grandfather’s house. Priceless artwork that had become spoils of war. And whenever money is involved, the criminals come out to play.

This isn’t a fast-paced, run-for-your life novel, but I love how the story unfolds. Both Janae and Carter have to deal with their past issues, and I love their character arc. Both fight for justice and want to do the right things even if they are the hard things. I also find the art history interesting.

Check out The Vanishing for an intriguing read. I’m hoping it’s a series because I want more (and maybe Chloe or Margeaux’s story!)

Fatal Domain by Steven James is a suspense-filled ride. Travis Brock (introduced in Broker of Lies) is back. Travis is trying to pick up the pieces of his life, but the bombs keep dropping. Terrorists are on the loose, and it’s up to Travis and his team to keep a new technology out of their hands. But he needs to work through the landmines of personal tragedy first – starting with exhuming his late wife’s body.

I recommend reading Broker of Lies first as Fatal Domain builds off of this story. I love the action, suspense, and intrigue! Travis is a likeable character and his eidetic memory helps him stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Travis and Adira also grow closer, but so many things stand in the way of their relationship. I love the twists and turns this book takes, and I recommend the whole series for any high stakes action lovers.

Trapped in Yosemite by Dana Mentink is everything you’d expect from the name…peril, earthquakes, and run-for-your life danger. Stella Rivers is attacked, while at the same time an earthquake wreaks havoc in the mountains of Yosemite. But an unlikely hero steps in—her ex-boyfriend, Von Sharp. Together they help rescue people trapped in the snow-covered mountains while dodging bullets from someone intent on killing Stella.

This book has everything for suspense fans. Lots of drama and danger. Anyone who reads Love Inspired Suspense will love this trade book, which is a longer version of a Love Inspired Suspense. There’s lots of time to fall in love the characters, and so many characters have big secrets to hide. I love a good “who-dun-it” story, and with everyone being trapped on the mountain, you know that one of them has to be behind the death threats. Everyone is a suspect, and the author did a great job of weaving in secrets and betrayals to keep readers guessing to the very end.

But the characters make this story come alive, from Dani’s spunky grandmother to Mark and Dani’s growing attraction. This is a fantastic romantic suspense story – be sure to get your copy today!

Cold Threat by Nancy Mehl continues the series of River Ryland and Tony St. Clair (you could probably read this as a standalone, but I think you might miss some things). River and Tony have started their private investigation firm and are called to create a profile for a serial arsonist who only strikes when it’s snowing. This is a race-against-the-clock story as River and Tony get closer to the killer…and each other.

I have loved this series from the start. Nancy Mehl is great at building tension and suspense. This story had a lot more introspection for the characters as River deals with her past trauma, knowing she’s still in the crosshairs of a serial killer. Not to mention there’s the growing attraction for her co-worker Tony. And Tony struggles with his feelings and the need to keep River safe. Plus, there’s the whole serial killer on the loose, and the two must figure out who is behind the brutal attacks before he strikes again.

This is a great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Fragile Designs by Colleen Coble has become one of my favorites from the author. Colleen writes suspense mixed with romance and family drama – and this family has plenty of secrets to keep suspense fans up all night.

Carly Harris is a widow. Her husband was murdered, leaving Carly and their son Noah behind. But the mystery behind the murder remains…until Carly discovers what the killer was after – a rare and priceless find in Carly’s possession. The only person she can trust with the secret find is Lucas Bennett, her not-so-friendly neighbor and police detective. But as danger escalates, colossal secrets are revealed and the couple fights to the end to protect Carly’s family.

I loved this book from start to finish. Just when you think you’ve figured it all out – BAM – another twist knocks you over or a crazy secret changes the whole story. I love a good family drama, and this has a host of crazy family members, relationship drama, and tension woven throughout. I’ve always been a fan of Colleen Coble, but this one is going down as one of my favorites.

Definitely check out Fragile Designs. For audiobook fans: I thought the narrator really brought the story to life. I recommend the audio version, and I’m picky about my narrators so this was a win for me. Karen Peakes did a great job with it!

For fans of thrillers, plot twists, and danger

Double Take by Lynette Eason will take your breath away. It kicks off what promises to be an intense and action-packed series!

Lainie Jackson is seeing ghosts. After her stalker ex was killed, Lainie starts seeing him pop up in places. But he’s dead, right? Police detective James Cross, also her childhood crush, comes to her rescue to make sure her ex can’t hurt her, whether he’s alive or dead.

Double Take brings action and suspense with every flip of the page. I love James and his over-protective family. But James has some relationship issues to deal with and Lainie needs to learn to trust again. I love the high stakes physical danger and emotional drama woven throughout the story and I can’t wait for more in this series!
