Book Thoughts

This is a heart-pounding adventure that does not let up, even until the very last page. Jacqueline Adam is back with a thrilling chase that traverses multiple terrains and settings, taking readers along on an escape that makes you reticent to stop reading. Fighting for her survival along with her daughter's, Dr. Chelsea Eidman is tossed into confusion and horrifying circumstances, setting off the chase of her lifetime as she deals with the aftermath of a failed diamond heist. Along the way, a police officer from her youth is part of the picture, causing Chelsea's emotions to be all over the map.

I love that Matt not only provides physical protection for Chelsea but that he cares enough for her to lead her spiritually as well. By praying for her and encouraging her to give her burdens to God, they are able to work together as a team to overcome the constant threats that barrage them at every corner. Readers who enjoy high-stakes suspense with twists and turns will appreciate seeing how through God's help and their relentless pursuit of their loved ones, Matt and Chelsea discover what it means to recover lost treasure.
