By Theresa Hall
It was just supposed to be a weekend get-together with her sister's family - a chance to meet her newest niece. Now she'll be lucky to live to see another day. Allison Moore has a life she is satisfied with - a good job and a place to call her own. But when she is involved with an icy road accident rendering assistance could cost her her life.
Sergeant Jackson Archer is first on the scene of a car going off the road into a fence. The victim claims that she is the victim of attempted murder. When evidence seems to maybe collaborate her story Jackson needs to dig deeper into her story. Soon everywhere Allison goes someone seems intent on killing her.
If Jackson can't keep her safe her good samaritan story won't have a happy ending. Worse spending time with Allison is bringing up memories of his own loss - the vehicular death of his family five years ago.
As the killer continually tracks them down - suspicion takes root that there maybe someone on the inside betraying them. With no one to trust Jackson may have to turn to the one person he blames for his loss - God. There is one thing he knows with certainty he can't do it alone much longer.
Theresa Hall's Accidental Target will keep you engaged as Allison's weekend away turns into a fight to survive. Allison and Jackson both have a lot that they are carrying around and this brush with losing their lives makes both reconsider just how they have been living. Allison is living with a crushed dream and a betrayal of the heart. Jackson is living with a reminder of his lost future and what could have been. Both have a time of growth and a meeting of hearts - which occurs quickly over a few days, this is, after all, a standalone book. Now as to whether they have a happy ending you will have to read the book. This was an enjoyable read that satisfied a weekend reading need. I would recommend this for those who what clean-reading suspense that is not filled with graphic descriptions. I also look forward to future offerings from the author. At just over 200 pages I found this to be a good weekend length to enjoy - I will admit I stayed up late as I wanted to know how it all turned out.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author with no expectations. All thoughts expressed are my own honest opinions.
