Flee the Night

I really wasn't sure about this book, but it was simply wonderful! The plot is gripping and the characters are simply wonderful to dive into. Definitely a must read in Christian suspense! The backstory is interesting and is added in throughout the book as Lacey and Micah come to grips with their pasts and what they know about each other.

Ex cia operative Lacey Montgomery and former green beret Jim Micah have a past. She married his best friend instead of him and then killed her husband and betrayed her country. Now on the run...her daughter Emily is missing...who else can she turn to? Can Jim find it in his heart to extend mercy to a former friend? Can he help her without losing his heart or betraying his country? What would God have him do? Susan writes a thought provoking novel introding Team Hope. A Search and Rescue Team who rely on God's guidance.

Several good reviews of the book have been given so I will just say that I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. What a really good story. If you go to her website you will be linked with a free read called "Waiting for Dawn" and it gives the prequel to Flee the Night. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this book. When you get it be sure to get Escape to Morning, it will save you an extra trip to the bookstore. Susan May Warren does exceptional work!

Ex-CIA operative Lacey Montgomery has been running for years. Someone has been on her tail. But who? She only stops long enough to catch up with her young daughter. All she wants is a normal life for her child, but she wonders if that's even possible. The National Security Agency has accused her of murder and Lacey is once again on the run. Will the NSA make her face her crimes? Crimes she never committed? Who can help her uncover the truth in her past? Whose promises can she believe? Only one name comes to Lacey's mind: Jim Micah, who was once her friend and childhood sweetheart. However, being an ex-Green Beret, Jim is still determined to defend his country in whatever way he can. He plans to turn Lacy over to the authorities for the crimes he believes she committed. Now with her daughter held hostage, Lacey must work to free her child without getting herself killed. Lacey knows Jim wants to turn her in to the authorities, but she needs Jim's help to save the life of her child. This action-filled, suspenseful story was a real page-turner. With several characters to keep track of in a story that unfolded piece by piece, wondering how each fit into the big picture kept me glued to the book until the end. God's fingerprints are all over this story, showing mercy at every turn. Freedom, both spiritual and physical, eludes Lacey. And though she longs for redemption, she also believes she doesn't deserve it. When Micah comes to her aid, will he be able to shine God's light as they flee the night?

So very different than Mrs. Warren's first series DEEP HAVEN (but just as good!) this one TEAM HOPE takes the reader into the dark world of espionage and Special-Ops teams of the military services. Lacey is a woman so very capable within her own right that the reader enjoys the story just to finally hear about a capable and smart woman who can hold her own in a world of terrorism. Yet her own best friend and her husband's from high school team up together to free her daughter whom Lacey is willing to risk everything for even the safety of her country Micah who fights against his desire to reconnect with her and his love of his country and his deceased high school friend's wife drives him to do crazy things. In all of this God's mercy and transforming peace can bring the reader to feel the spirituality in this book and cherish it too. Once again Mrs. Warren has delivered! Be sure to order ESCAPE TO MORNING when you buy FLEE THE NIGHT because I am sure you will want to read both besides awaiting TEAM HOPE #3 coming out later at an unknown date! LOVED IT!
