As spring slowly inches it’s way closer to summer, I had the chance to read a good thriller about two characters trying to figure out the truth while running from danger.
Here’s a bit about the book (courtesy of the publisher):
In the midst of Bicentennial celebrations, Carson Mahoney narrowly
escapes a home invasion that reduces her house to rubble. In a West
Virginia commune, her sister Cam kills the commune leader. Now
both sisters must flee.
Already a suspect in her secretive husband’s murder, Carson fears
the police will suspect her of arson and put her in jail. It happened
before, back when the two sisters were teenagers, imprisoned in a
foreign country. It cannot happen again.
But running away is also not an option. Cam needs to find the
innocent whose life she has saved. Carson must find the thugs who
destroyed her home and her livelihood. All too soon, the sisters
learn how impossible it is to hide and how difficult it is to trust
those who offer help. Will they survive long enough to clear their
names?
Caroline Taylor has written a tightly woven thriller full of female
empowerment and bravery, with strong women seeking justice and formidable opponents in their
way. With twists and turns, jolting from the present to the past, readers will be holding their
breath until the very end.
What I Thought:
This book was a great thriller! I enjoyed both characters Carson and her sister Cam, and I just had to continue reading to see what happens. Things really start out with a bang in this book and you are taken right into the heart of the troubles. I enjoyed the character Carson especially and thought that Cam was sort of a mystery. The dynamics of their lives and the danger they found themselves in was interesting and captivating. Definitely a book worth reading!

Excellent review!
A well spun, suspenseful tale of two sisters who find themselves in worlds of trouble, largely due to already having survived, years previously, an earlier trauma together. Make sure you have some time to spare when you pick it up, because you won't want to put it down until the end!
Ready a good thriller is always a joy! After reading your review I'm convinced I should read this book.
I think the book sounds great and I would love to read it.
