of the series!

So much to love about this suspense novel:
Childhood friends reconnecting
Hidden career of main character Ava's father
Hidden skills of Ava! Wow! She's tough beneath the exterior.

Lots of action
All plausible

This was a hit of a novel for me, I enjoyed it from beginning to end,

My gratitude to publisher Revell for a NetGalley copy of the novel, I was not required to post a review and all opinions expressed are my own, Dont let the fact that this is a Christian romantic suspense novel fool you, Its full of nonstop action car chases, men with ski masks and guns, shoot outs, spy rings, Russian KGB, and murder, Its mixed with just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and because its a suspense novel, the tension escalates due to the reader knowing more than the protagonist.


FBI Special Agent Caden Denning and his partner, Zane Pierce, are part of a multistate manhunt for a killer whos left a string of bodies in his wake.
Puzzling the investigating officers is the removal of family photos from each crime scene, Do the victims know each other Do they know their killer

Dennings path intersects with his childhood friend, Ava Jackson, who is grieving the loss of her father while she was deployed and has been discharged early from the navy to care for her dying mother.
Denning is convinced Ava is a target and believes she holds the key to why these military family murders are occurring,

I loved the varied pacing and the high stakes tension of a fight to survive scenario, My heart was pounding and I was flipping pages trying to make sense of buried secrets and trying to outsmart the killer, Easons twists surprised me I was unaware that this was the final book in a fourbook series, Danger Never Sleeps, but can report that it can stand alone.
A new author to me, I loved how Eason fills readers with hope despite the current world situation and the pervading evil, and gently shares a Christian message about reason, purpose and a "future filled with hope and love.

I was gifted this book by Lynette Eason, Revell Books and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review, Hostile Intent starts off with a bang and keeps it up to the end, A man is killing families in a serial killer fashion and it is obvious that he has a list to complete, When a family is killed in Greenville, South Carolina, FBI Special Agents Caden Denning and his partner Zane Pierce recognize a friend in a photo found in the attic.

This one is a mystery that goes back to years past but is tied to present day, Friends from previous books in the series make appearances and there are some new updates and announcements, A great read not to be missed by lovers of suspense with a little romance and faith,

If you enjoy suspense at its finest, Lynette Eason does not disappoint!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
This is one of the best romantic suspense books that I have ever read! From the very beginning, it was captivating, with a scene from a home that was as mesmerizing as it was devastatingly awful.
The story of Ava

Jackson meeting up with her childhood crush Caden Denning was fascinating, but the crux of the story was a serial killer who was wiping out entire families, including the young children.
The motive behind these evil actions is the center of the story and what kept me reading at a rapid pace to find out, From the first murders until the breathtaking last scenes, this was a nonstop runaway train of a book, The details of the crime scenes are not graphic so they did not disturb me, but just the thought that entire families were wiped out instantly was enough to make me want to do who would do such a thing.
The plot is wrapped up in international intrigue and Avas secretive father is involved in a great deal of what is happening, so she seems to be a focus of the killer, too.
Caden is her selfappointed protector and a real hero just when she needs one, With her father declared dead, her mom dying and a killer on her trail, Ava decides to trust Caden with her life, The characters were realistic and wellrounded, the type of person I would want to meet and be friends with, I was enthralled by the work that the FBI analysts did, especially Daria, who was intuitive as to needs and how to find solutions when there seemed to be none.
I enjoyed seeing the FBI portrayed as capable heroes as they should be, I especially enjoyed Avas intelligence in figuring out puzzles and clues left behind by her father as well as her grit and determination to seek the truth at all costs.
There were definitely some unlikeable characters, but that is by design, because who can like a villain who kills families or anyone involved with him I just loved this book from cover to cover and think that is is the best of the series although any of them can be read as a standalone.
My favorite part of the book It was a clean read! No expletives, steamy sex or graphic displays of violence, Kudos to the author for writing explosively good romantic suspense that appeals to readers who dont want any of the distasteful elements in their books,

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell via Netgalley, I was not required to write a positive review, The opinions expressed are my own, I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade CommissionsCFR, Part, “Guides Concerning the Use of Testimonials and Endorsements in Advertising, ” It's another riveting suspense novel from Lynette Eason, Having read the other books in the series, I was expecting Caden and Ava to be thrown together and I really liked that though we knew of Caden from previous novels, we really got to know him in this one.
Ava was mostly on the periphery previously so it was also nice to get to know her, As usual, the author sets out an intricate plot with carefully planted details that all come together in the end, The suspense is absolutely riveting even when we know the villain from the beginning since he has an active voice in the story, There are flashbacks to catch us up on Ava's childhood as well as a wonderful crossover secondary character from Vow of Justice the author's Blue Justice series, Caden and Ava's romance is sweet and natural, especially since they grew up together, The villain's methodology in fulfilling his 'mission' made me a little uneasy but I get that this was to show how he came to be the villain that he is.
It's a wellwritten conclusion to another great suspense series by the author,
