Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson

From the first bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, this book crackles with energy and suspense. Sara Walsh is someone I would love to meet. First, she has a British accent, which I love, and second, the strength in this lady is something else. Ya, ya, I know she's not a real person, but if you've read any of Dee Henderson's books you know that she is one lady who knows how to bring her character's to life.

I wonder if she's ever going to publish any of the "HQ Victor" stories she alludes to in this book? I'd actually like to see Sara Walsh's children's books published, too. That's right, she's just a fictional character in a book, but think of where Hendersen could go with it.

I love books with passion and conviction and Dee Henderson delivers. This is actually one of my favorite's out of all of her books that I've read.

Twin sisters kidnapped - one dies, the other represses her memories of the event and the kidnapper's face. An older brother who grows up to be, Sara's (the living sister's) FBI protector. Attraction to a famous person (Adam Black, former football player) when public attention could be fatal. The kidnapper out there, stalking Sara, the only person who can identify him. Negligent father, an ambassador to England. The living sister - Sara - a published author of books that make you keep a closer eye on your own kids, but also a children's book author. Two sides of Sara Walsh.

How does Sara keep it all together? Only through faith in God. How can you stand to put the book down once you start reading it...you can't.

Past and present continue to collide as events in Sara's life trigger flashbacks, bringing her to the verge of an ultimate breakdown. Add to the mix that Adam and Sara fall in love through events that would send most people packing, and you've got one page turner of a book.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense, romance, and a touch of christian living to round it out.

Scoring of 5 stars out of 5.
