Lynn H. Blackburn crafts another hit with her latest release, Unknown Threat.
Book Blurb
US Secret Service Special Agent Luke Powell is lucky to be alive. Three of his fellow agents have died in unusual circumstances in the past ten weeks. Luke is devastated by the loss of his friends and colleagues, and his inability to locate the killer feels like a personal failure. He’s an expert at shielding others, but now the protectors are in need of protection.
FBI Special Agent Faith Malone is driven to succeed and confident in her ability to solve every case she’s assigned. She’s been put in charge of the investigation into the unprecedented attacks, and with Luke’s life in danger, the stakes have never been higher. But it’s hard to know how to fight back when you don’t know who the enemy is.
As more agents are targeted, Luke and Faith will have to work together to bring a killer to justice and prevent any more names from joining their fallen brothers and sisters on the Secret Service Wall of Honor.
My Thoughts
Blackburn grabbed my attention from the beginning and wouldn’t let go. Not only because the story began with a bang (quite literally) but also because she crafted such compelling characters. Luke and Faith are fantastic leads with their dogged determination and fierce loyalty. The supporting cast of characters reminded me of what I loved about Blackburn’s Dive Team Investigations series. The team isn’t just a concept but rather an almost tangible thing that drives the story forward. Rather than filling out the investigation with cardboard characters, Blackburn fleshes these minor characters out until they almost feel as real as Luke and Faith.
The romantic chemistry is almost palpable, and from the beginning, I found myself rooting for Luke and Faith to end up together. They have these wonderfully deep conversations about life and faith, which adds a great spiritual element to the novel. Pair this with the page-turning suspense that kept me up late into the night, and Blackburn has another winner on her hands. The fact that characters from her last series make a cameo is just icing on the cake.
Overall, Unknown Threat is a must read for romantic suspense fans. Just be prepared to stay up late!
