This Christian thriller is as intense as the wild fires written within the pages. I usually begin my reviews with a highlighting or my favorite quote from the story. There were too many! Suspense. Action. Even a couple of funny bits and sob worthy sections, especially at the end when Redd reunited with Jack and the epilogue.
I learned (about smoke jumpers), I laughed, I gasped, I simply enjoyed Gone Dark by Ryan Steck.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.
