Book Description:
Sometimes the closer you get to justice, the deadlier it becomes
When decorated FBI undercover agent Scott Sinclair suffers a gunshot wound in his right arm, the injury threatens his future career in the field. He is determined to regain his former job by training himself to use his left hand, and failure is not an option--especially when he's unofficially pulled into an investigation.
Tori Mitchell is a passionate crime reporter and podcaster who has dedicated her life to seeking justice. Her relentless pursuit of the truth has freed a wrongfully convicted man from prison, making Tori an enemy of the true killer. When her nephew is accused of a different murder, nothing can stop her from getting involved and clearing his name.
Soon after Tori and Scott reconnect on the case, shots are fired, leaving them to wonder which of them has been targeted. As the investigation intensifies, so do the threats and the sparks between them, but Tori's doubtful if she can extend grace and trust to Scott. They'll have to combine their skills and rely on their growing relationship to outsmart the killer.
My Thoughts: A Total Page Turner
There's just something about a book that grabs you from the very first line and doesn't let go until you've read the very last page. On the Edge of Trust does just that. It kept me on the edge of my seat, guessing, holding my breath, and turning pages as fast as I could the entire time.
As I read the story, I had my suspicions about who, how, and why, but I never got it right, leaving me very surprised by how everything turned out. The characters are well-developed, and the relationship between Tori and Scott makes the story even more engaging. Their romance blends with the mystery, just enough to keep you engaged without completely taking over the suspense. The twists and turns of the story add to the intrigue, which is sure to keep the reader captivated until the very last page. However, it's not just a story of intrigue. It's also a story of faith, love, trusting, letting go of prejudices, and doing what God wants you to do, and that makes it a definite must-read.
