Vanished into thin air! Intrigue abounds from the start as we are brought into the fold quickly to realize the heroine is pretending to be something she's not in order to find info on what happened to her sister. She's taking daring chances and it comes back to bite her early in the book. If you've read any of this series previously, you will recognize the cult they are investigating as well as some of the other task force cops. The story was exciting and the characters easy to connect with. Looking forward to the next book in the series!

When Michelle Munson joins Daniel Metwater's cult of happy followers, she has a goal in her sights. She plans to find proof that he and/or his brother murdered her sister and somehow made it look like an accident. She knows she's gotten too close when Daniel catches her doing some sleuthing and shortly after her infant son comes up missing!

Task force member, Ethan Reynolds and his team have had their eyes on Metwater's goings-ons for awhile and are eager to have an inside source to things that might be going on in that camp. When Michelle comes to him for help after her son is taken, they tentatively agree to help each other. Close quarters lead to strong attraction ... but she doesn't trust cops, so can he actually convince her that he's an okay guy?

Michelle hasn't had it easy growing up as a foster child and distrusts the law to be there when she needs help. That when the one person in her life dies in a way she deems suspicious she tries to infiltrate a cult her sister was previously in to find out what really happened. It seems thought she has gotten on the wrong side of the cult leader though and he made some threats he planned to follow through with. Now her child is missing and she might actually have to turn to Ranger Ethan to find her child and protect her.

This was another instance where I didn't read up on the book. All I was placing this choice on the publisher that has rarely ever let me down and the fact that it was a intrigue book. If I would've known that this book featured a cult I wouldn't have picked up this book. I already had the book in my possession and was already in deep to want to put this book down. I loved that this short book managed to pack a punch of plenty going on, wondering where the child was and if that child was safe. I loved getting to know the character and seeing how the cult leader was trying to mess with her past to make her seem like there is something off. Overall it was a pretty good book I just couldn't put it down.

It's a nice read with a bit different take on this type of theme but the pace was at times slow and the characters not so well developed, but this is H Intrigue and the mystery & suspense takes center stage over the love story.
