Lights Out

"You put your trust in yourself, trying to control what was never meant to be yours to control, and they sink you. And they will. You surrender that control, trust God, and no matter the size of the waves, you will be safe." This is the first book I have read by Natalie Walters and I am completely wowed. How have I not read her books sooner? Combining international intrigue and unforgettable characters with valuable faith lessons and second chance romance, this book is the perfect autumn evening read that will grab you from the first page. The complex and intricately woven plot will have you on a journey of a lifetime as you become a part of the SNAP Agency with Brynn to stop a terrorist plot. I loved getting to know Brynn and Jack. Their history is complicated but that made it more satisfying when Brynn allowed herself to break out of her independent self-reliance and Jack allowed himself to trust again despite his past pain. There is never a dull moment in this fast-paced plot and each detail plays into the overarching plot like pieces of a puzzle. The other members of the SNAP team - Garcia, Lyla, Kekoa - are just as delightful and I cannot wait to read the next book to learn more about them. If you enjoy romantic suspense, this book has to be on your must read list. I received the book from publisher via Interviews and Reviews and was under no obligation to post a positive comment.
