Book Review - Blind Betrayal

ABOUT THE BOOK:

After two years at the St. Louis U.S. Marshals Office, Casey Sloane is tasked with escorting a reporter to Washington to testify before a grand jury. The reporter's research on an up-and-coming environmentalist who suddenly disappeared is now even more vital than anticipated.

At first, Casey's assignment seems routine. But a dangerous attack on the Marshals Office puts everyone on high alert. When Casey and two other Marshals--one a man from her past--are forced on the run with the reporter, they'll do whatever it takes to protect their witness and make it out alive.

MY REVIEW:

This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it!

Casey and Doug are US Marshall's out of St. Louis and they have a high profile witness that they need to get to Washington D.C. They are hoping that her testimony will put away a very dangerous man that has ties to terrorism. Unfortunately, he also has tentacles every where and is about to make these Marshall's lives very difficult.

Since they are going to D.C., they send an agent from that office to help transport him. Casey knows E.J. from her days of working there and there are feelings between them but there are also hard feelings between them. This creates another dilemma for the agents.

This journey ends up being very dangerous and the situations keep you glued to the pages and up late at night to see what will happen next.

I really like the characters in this book and felt very invested in their lives. I love a book that makes the people in them feel real. The character of Casey especially was so real with lots of emotions you would expect in the situations they find themselves in.

If you enjoy a mystery/thriller that keeps you entranced, you will love Blind Betrayal. It is well written and high enjoyable. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
