Book one in the Triple Threat series, Hannon immediately captures readers’ interest using current controversies and fictitious events to bring this spellbinding story to life! Point of Danger has all the earmarks of a great book - mystery, dark secrets, romance and exceptional characters!
Radio talk show host Eve Reilly is used to backlash from her pot-stirring on-air commentary and interviews, but now it seems a disgruntled listener is resorting to more than angry words to express their displeasure. When a suspicious package arrives on her doorstep, Eve turns to law enforcement for help.
Police detective Brent Lange can't find any evidence to link the string of unsettling incidents that follows, but he's convinced they're connected. As the harassment grows more menacing, it becomes clear someone wants Eve's voice silenced--permanently.
But unless he can track down her foe, fast, the gutsy woman who is willing to take risks for what she believes--and who is swiftly winning his heart--may not survive.
Bestselling author and three-time RITA Award winner Irene Hannon is back with a heart-stopping new series that will have you turning pages well into the night.
★★★★ | Irene Hannon expertly brings current events to life in her newest novel, Point of Danger. With an intelligent, passionate lead character in radio personality, Eve Reilly, she begins this story with a forceful impact and thrilling start. I immediately liked Eve and the introduction of police detective Brent Lange, right away, just sweetened the pot for me. His moody, internal musings and protective nature drew me in. I enjoyed the sparks flying between these two characters right from the start.
The suspense lulls midway through the story a bit, but Hannon doesn’t disappoint as she fills the story with suspenseful characters that keep readers guessing and a blossoming romance between Brent and Eve that readers will enjoy. I love how Brent Lange comes into his own through the eye-opening and tender conversations with Eve who’s patience and care further endeared her character to me.
As Hannon wraps up the story, she delivers the climax with a bang that will leave readers breathless and on the edge of their seats! The surprising revelation at the end was a definite highlight for me. My only regret is that this particular story didn’t have a bit more action and was a little heavier on the romance. However, I believe Irene Hannon is one of the best in the Christian suspense genre and this story further solidified that. This is a definite recommendation for suspense lovers and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!
