REVIEW<\/b>
The cover reflects the book well and represents the growing number of dogs in the group now too! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When Malachi has a run-in with men scouting around Grangeville, it’s a close call. Thankfully, for him, Amanda is nearby and evens up the odds in the skirmish.

It’s finally decided that Amanda, Austin, Savannah, Malachi & Andy will go to Spokane but with Zeke & his men nearby it would be too risky to go on foot they need a vehicle and they know someone who has a Sunrader but he won’t hand it over freely or easily! They’ll have to work smart to broker a deal for it and then work hard in exchange for the sunrader.
<\/span><\/span>
A slow burn chase through an art gallery, where they speak to Professor Novak, who gives him papers to take on to someone in Seattle. When a strange man gains entry to the gallery and talks to Elizabeth Novak, who perhaps naively, or because she is so ill ends up revealing secrets & details about Austins group without realising it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The old saying the enemy of your enemy is your friend comes into action when Zeke joins forces with this stranger. The art gallery is soon surrounded. Novak explains a possible escape route via an old speakeasy and underground tunnels, but the group are followed by Zeke who is determined to get back what he thinks belongs to him, his nephew Andy. It leads to a standoff on a stage. Zeke is taking revenge on Austin, demanding an exchange.. Austin for Andy. The group really works together like a military unit now. They each have their strengths and use them to protect each other and fight when there’s no other option.

Then the group race to the airfield to see if they can make contact with Novaks associate to take them on to Seattle, but when they get to the airfield something seems amiss and sure enough soneone has beaten them there. Theres a shoot out with Voss ….then rushing to the skies triumphant in escaping and finally being on their way to Seattle only for the planes fuel injector to cause issues….now a quick landing but where, will it be safe and how are they going to get to Seattle now? They’ve also unknowingly left some unfinished business, which I am sure will cause them issues in the future.
<\/span><\/span>
The relationships in the book really add to the plot, etc, such as the relationship between Savannah & Andy continues to strengthen. Andy really looks to her for direction, like a mother figure. Malachi really makes a difficult choice between staying with his mother Tonya & helping at the ministry or going with the group going to Spokane. Savannah & Malachi continue growing together, at a time they should have been planning cute gifts & dates for each other, they are protecting one another from those who wish to harm them and their extended group that is more like family.
Austin naturally wants to keep Savannah with him and in a place of safety, but he is learning and accepting that his daughter is a very capable young woman. He approves of the budding romance between Savannah & Malachi and adores Andy. The young boy Savannah found & brought home and is prepared to give his life protecting him.
<\/span><\/span>
My immediate thoughts upon finishing reading the book were, Wow! A cliffhanger leaving the fate of our favourite characters quite literally up in the air, and then a danger they thought they’d finally gotten rid of is getting regrouping and planning to get revenge! There are lots of tense moments with some great action scenes, too.
<\/span><\/span>
Summing up, there are lots of tense moments with some great action scenes, too. A slow burn chase, through underground tunnels, then to an airfield shootout and a high flying cliffhanger.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
