Secret Mountain Hideout

This book was really a thriller for me! I hardly put it down from the moment I began reading it. One of the reasons is because it was so realistic. Sometimes, in Christian Fiction, lawmen have to shoot someone but they rarely take a life even though the circumstances are such that they have to. In this book, the author shows that Chase, a sheriff's deputy is put in a situation where he has to take a life in order to save someone and then deal with the feelings afterwards and I really applaud that! There are Christian lawmen who have to do such things and I appreciated the sensitive way the author wrote it. It was realistic and important. Needless to say, the whole book was full of tons of action as Ashley is running from a mobster because she has seen something she shouldn't have seen and she's on the run but they keep finding her! Her feelings and actions are also very realistic. She can't believe that Chase, and the other law enforcement people in the small town would do everything in their power to help her! She's never been supported like that. These feelings of friendship and caring are another reason I liked the book. A definite high recommendation from me!
