My Rating & Thoughts: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 (4 stars)

I first discovered this series in 2011 and have been following Cindy and Jeremiah ever since. I have grown to really enjoy the friendships between all the main characters. They are there for each other whenever needed and will stand up for one another. This was especially true in this story when Cindy’s mom and brother were completely out of line in comments they made about Cindy and Jeremiah. I cheered when Tracey reacted on Cindy’s behalf.

This story picks up right where the previous book ended, and you are immediately immersed into the action. Not only has Jeremiah has been arrested for murder but at the same time it appears there are others determined to kill him. In order to protect Cindy and his friends he recruits a contact to protect them while he sets out on his own to stop these people. Cindy is determined to be there for Jeremiah and figure out not only who is framing him for murder but also help him stop those that have ugly plans for him. I had no idea who was behind any of the events. Each twist and turn kept me guessing and cringing. There were times I found the subject to be a bit dark. I do have to say there was one word used (just once but still) that I did not appreciate reading and feel a different word could have conveyed the same meaning.

Just like previous books this book ended with a cliff-hanger that has left me guessing what is going to happen next. Cindy has grown so much since the beginning of this series.
