This is book #3 in this series, however, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. I recommend the first two however, so you don't miss out in knowing all the characters. From the very beginning I was hooked and could hardly put this book down. The story begins in Kabul, Afghanistan and ends in Greenville, South Carolina, Dr. Heather Fontaine's home. She returns from a fun day with friends sandboarding and decided to stop in at the military tent hospital where she is a surgeon, to check on some of her patients. Before she even goes inside she notices a young boy walking toward her. He takes his shirt off and she sees a bomb strapped to his chest. His mission was obviously to bomb the hospital, however, he cries out for help and struggles with trying to get the bomb off his body although it goes off. The explosion rips off his arm and leaves his body a mangled mess. Heather did her best to save the boy, but he dies.
Fast forward four months later and Heather is home, out of the Army, but still having nightmares about the bomb and the boy. She feels like whenever she goes out someone is watching her. Her friends rally around her but she has a hard time asking or accepting help from anyone. She was a foster child and learned to be self-sufficient in order to survive. Suspicious things begin to occur that frighten her so that she runs away and hides in a small town a couple hours away. Eventually she's found by friends, but the troubling situations continue, including getting run off the road and over the edge of a cliff.
As Heather is being protected around the clock by Travis, and other friends, while they seek to find answers, she learns that asking for help, and allowing friends into your life are a good thing.
This book had many twists and turns that kept me turning the pages way into the night. Lynette Eason expertly weaves the various situations into one fabulous story that is nearly possible to put down.

This was a very good book, I really liked the story and can’t wait for hostile intent (the 4th and final book in the series) to come out!
