My Review
I’ve read and enjoyed several of Irene Hannon’s other books, most recently her Men of Valor series. Hidden Peril is the second book in her newest series, but it can easily be read on its own (I haven’t read the first book yet!). If you read this one first though, you will probably want to go back and read the first one – just because she’s such a great suspense writer! The series follows a group of three friends, with each book focusing on one of them, which is a fun way to tie the series together.
Irene Hannon does a great job of weaving together the suspense, romance, and faith aspects of her stories. The combination keeps you turning pages and leaves you feeling encouraged! This book also had a terrorism plot mixed in, which adds another layer of nail-biting action. Overall, I enjoyed this fast-paced, clean suspense story with authentic, relatable characters and just the right details to be believable. If you enjoy the suspense genre, I definitely recommend this book!
