Unknown Threat ~ Review

Unknown Threat

Defend and Protect #1

By Lynn H. Blackburn

Luke Powell is mourning the loss of friend and fellow Secret Service Agent Thad Baker. His death has not been solved and there are more questions than answers surrounding it. But Thad was just the first and someone has targeted the agents of the Raleigh resident office. 

Why are they being targeted? And by whom? They need answers fast and call on the FBI to aid them in getting them.

FBI Special Agent Faith Malone is tasked with finding out who is targeting the local agents of the Secret Service. Is this threat only to the Secret Service or will the other agencies soon find a target on their backs as well?

What follows is a high-intensity, adrenaline-filled read as the killer meticulously targets them. If you are looking for a new page-turner to add to your book must-reads list you have found it in Unknown Threat. I liked that several characters from the author's previous Dive Team Investigations series made appearances in this book. In addition to dealing with the fallout of losing friends and colleagues, Luke and Faith are also dealing with issues from their respective pasts. Issues that have an effect on how they deal with the growing attraction that is between them and was there before this case threw them together.

As the opening book in Lynn H. Blackburn's new Defend and Protect series this promises to be an intense must-read series. This book wraps up the story but the teaser sneak peek of book 2 will leave you dangling and wanting to know what happens next! Highly recommended reading.

I was provided with a complimentary copy with no expectations but to offer my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

US Secret Service Special Agent Luke Powell is lucky to be alive. Three of his fellow agents have died in unusual circumstances in the past ten weeks. Luke is devastated by the loss of his friends and colleagues, and his inability to locate the killer feels like a personal failure. He's an expert at shielding others, but now the protectors are in need of protection.

FBI Special Agent Faith Malone is driven to succeed and confident in her ability to solve every case she's assigned. She's been put in charge of the investigation into the unprecedented attacks, and with Luke's life in danger, the stakes have never been higher. But it's hard to know how to fight back when you don't know who the enemy is.

As more agents are targeted, Luke and Faith will have to work together to bring a killer to justice and prevent any more names from joining their fallen brothers and sisters on the Secret Service Wall of Honor.

Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn pulls out all the stops in this brand-new romantic suspense series that will have you holding your breath one minute and swooning the next.
