When Isana Thomas finds a smartphone among the cherry trees, her life is put in jeopardy. Isana discovers the phone belongs to Lillian Hillam, whose son, Cyrus “Cy” Hillam, works at The Heritage Museum with Isana. But Lillian is missing, and someone doesn’t want the pair to find her.

Cy can’t believe his mother would disappear without telling him, not after his father’s suicide when he was a child. Then kidnappers claiming to have Lillian contact him, asking to exchange her life for a list of names. Cy and Isana must delve deep into his parents’ past to find the list and save his mother’s life.

But someone doesn’t want them to succeed and will do anything to stop their search. Will Cy and Isana uncover the truth about the list before their lives are snuffed out?

My first book by Sarah Hamaker, this has a different feel from most of the romantic suspense novels I read, and I like it — the book opened with intrigue, but it also took time to introduce the characters and give me a chance to know them before jumping into the heart of the conflict.

This book was a good blend of romance, suspense, and Christian theme/values. In my opinion, most romantic suspense novels focus more on the suspense than the romance and often feel more like suspense with a love story. If you want more romance in your suspense, this book delivers.

There’s also a clear story arc for Isana, watching her grow and change throughout the book. Despite the intensity of the book, there were plenty of less intense, reflective scenes and actions as well.
