Blind Betrayal

Blind Betrayal by Nancy Mehl has all of the suspense that suspense lovers could ask for. Every time I thought the characters had found a safe place to rest, bullets started flying or danger found them. Every. Time. Is someone on the inside betraying them to the terrorist on their trail?

US Deputy Marshall Casey Sloane, and her partner Doug have been tasked with transporting a witness from their office in St. Louis to Washington D. C. so that she can testify against a terrorist kingpin. Help arrives in the form of US Marshall E. J. Queen from the D.C. office, and a former friend of Casey's. As the US Marshall office in St. Louis is bombed immediately before they were to leave for the airport, they decide that alternate transportation would be necessary. They decide to take Casey's car instead of flying out, and begin a roadtrip with more landmines than they care to think about. As the incidents along the way pile up, will they be able to elude their attackers to get their witness safely to Washington?

As Casey and E.J. work together, they discover that their friendship in the past has sparks in the future. Will they survive to explore those sparks, or will the terrorist they're pursuing stop toying with them, and put them out of contention for good?

This story was a fun one to listen to! It definitely helped me get my heartrate up on my walks.

Suspense lovers will find this book immensely satisfying. While there is a romance portion to this story, it's not as strong as the suspense part. Nancy Mehl definitely rocks the suspense in Blind Betrayal.

Nancy Mehl sure knows how to write a good suspense book!
She's on my list of favorite authors for this genre.
See, I used to not like this sort of stuff until some of my authors started writing this way and I thought I'd give it a try. I was hooked! I finished this book in one afternoon!
And I thought about the characters long after the book was finished. Too bad we don't know if their lives stayed peaceful after all the action that took place in this book. I like to think it does. I do think about that every now and then and this book was no exception.
Just when you've thought you guessed who the culprit was it wasn't!! It wasn't who I was expecting and this is what made it exciting!
I loved all the characters even though I couldn't really relate to them. But then, sometimes you don't have to and you can still enjoy the book anyway.
I was especially rooting for Valerie whom I felt was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was sitting on the edge holding my breath waiting to see what would happen to her.
Sometimes we can't help being in certain places when things go a wry. I can't imagine being in a situation like that and by the Grace of God I hope and pray I never am. It's hard knowing in the real world whom to trust and whom not to. The only person I trust is Jesus. I'd trust Him with my life!!
I would depend on Casey and E.J. anytime! They made such a great team of working together! I immediately felt the spark fly so to speak!
This book is not heavy on the romance and that's what I really liked about it. This is why I love Nancy Mehl!
She keeps her readers entertained and can keep your attention at the same time!
I felt like I was watching NCIS Los Angeles or FBI, S.W.A.T.
For Suspense lovers this is your book to go!
It was action packed from the beginning until the end! It was really good! I love how the beginning opens with a bang!
I highly recommend this book. It was an amazing read!!
My thanks to Netgalley for a complimentary copy of this book. NO compensations were received and all opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this 3rd book in the Defenders of Justice series, though it is part of a series it can be read as a stand-alone book without any confusion. The characters were likeable and there was plenty of action to keep you reading. There were several storylines taking place at once, so you do have to pay attention or it would be easy to get confused. Not my favorite of Nancy Mehl's books, but it was an enjoyable read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
