The law is about justice—not grace.
But perhaps ranger Annie Pederson can find a way to have both.
As if
the last few months haven’t been hard enough—complete with threats on her life
and the return of her first love, Jon—Annie has to figure out whether or not to
believe a woman who claims to be her sister, Sarah, who was abducted
twenty-four years ago at age five. Annie’s eight-year-old daughter, Kylie, has
plenty of questions about what’s going on in her mother’s life—but there are
some stories Annie doesn’t want uncovered.
As
Annie grapples with how to heal the gulf between her and her would-be sister
and make room in her daughter’s life for Jon, she’s professionally distracted
by the case of yet another missing hiker in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. A woman
named Michelle Fraser has now been abducted, and though the woman’s estranged
husband is at the top of their suspect list, Annie and her colleagues will need
to dig deeper to determine whether these recent mysteries are truly as
unrelated as they seem.
In
this second novel of bestselling author Colleen Coble’s latest
romantic-suspense series, Annie and Jon must fight for the future—and the
family—that could once more be theirs.
My
Thoughts:
Dark
of Night by Colleen Coble is a hunt for the truth and
how to reveal the truth. With plenty of twists and turns for mystery readers,
Coble takes her readers for a ride. The plot is mysterious and different than
previous novels I have seen from her. This time around the forest takes a place
in the setting. Much happens in these dark woods in Michigan. It appears that
the mystery of her sister and the missing lady are the biggest element, but
there are a couple different twists thrown in for a surprise. The heroine,
Annie, again still has to come to turns with a couple of major issues that
could affect her and her daughter's lives.
With deep hurt and distrust, Annie still fights the urge to trust others
when it comes to her future. The romance between her and Jon seems to be moving
forward, but Annie stays a little distant because of what it would mean to her
daughter. Overall, Dark of Night by Colleen Coble has enough suspense and
action to keep readers who love their story always on the move, like me,
interested, but just enough drama to focus on the changing characters and their
lives.
I received a complimentary copy of Dark of Night by Colleen Coble from
Thomas Nelson Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
