Synopsis

Homeland Security Agent Dakota Pierce knows how to survive the cold. She knows how to hunt predators. What she doesn’t know is why whispers of a new “weapon” are moving through the Washington backcountry—or why people connected to the chatter keep disappearing. When a surveillance run leads to a dead nineteen-year-old girl dumped in an apple orchard, Dakota’s investigation collides with Josh Weber, a former soldier turned DEA agent searching for the same missing young woman. And neither of them expects to find a body. The men responsible aren’t finished. And when Dakota is knocked unconscious and left at the mercy of killers who have already proven what they’re capable of, Josh must choose between protecting his career—or protecting her. As the newly formed Northwest Counter‑Terrorism Taskforce uncovers ties between a local militia, a cross-border operation, and a weapon that could devastate countless lives, Dakota and Josh are pulled into a battle that is as personal as it is national. In the frozen dark of the Pacific Northwest, evil doesn’t hide in the shadows. It hunts. And stopping the first wave may cost them everything. If you enjoy stories with: • A battle-hardened Homeland Security agent with a past she won’t face• A former soldier and his fiercely loyal K‑9—drawn into a murder he can’t walk away from• A body in the orchard … and killers who’ve come back to finish the job• Forced allies in the frozen wilderness, hunted before they can hunt• Domestic terror brewing in the Pacific Northwest backwoods• A slow-burn partnership forged in gunfire, grit, and unshakable faith Then you won’t want to miss the start of this action-packed Christian romantic suspense series from Lisa Phillips.

Goodreads review by Paul

The sometimes-hilarious interactions between the characters and twisting plot make this book a joy to read. Nevertheless, there were a few distracting flaws. I’ll focus on the flaws, not because it was a bad book, but so that potential readers can decide whether any of them will be an insurmountable......more

Goodreads review by Crystal

Action packed and suspenseful, with a bit of mystery. I didn't particularly care for this writing style. I felt like some scenes skipped without proper transition, and there were several times I felt like I didn't understand why some thing was said by a character in a dialogue or felt like what was......more

I really enjoyed this book. The main female character (Dakota) is a complex human being that the reader can easily empathize with. The main male character (Josh) is admirable in his conduct and treatment of Dakota, but also human... with human weaknesses. I loved the action scenes, the 'side-show' w......more
