Dollycas's Thoughts
Firefighter Diana Cameron was on her way to her mountain home in upstate New York when a massive explosion rocked her world. âA gigantic ball of lightâ momentarily blinds her. Grabbing the fire extinguisher from her vehicle she races ahead to find a lodge, the back entirely engulfed in flames. She rushes inside to see if there are any survivors. The smoke is thick and she finds a dead man and a dead woman but it wasn't the fire that killed them, both had bullet wounds to the head. Then she hears a soft sob, creeps on her hands and knees, and finds âa small bundle curled up in a corner.â A child still alive, with no gunshot wounds. As she lifts the child and runs for safety there is another explosion. She lands hard, protecting the child, but someone is shooting at them. The sheriff arrives but the shooter gets away.
Diana knows the child is a witness to what happened inside the lodge. To protect her the sheriff calls in Chase Mitchell, a bodyguard who works for Jameson Investigations. They need to keep the child safe while others work to identify the victims to figure out who killed them and why. With gunmen on their tail, they go deep into the wilderness to protect and hide the little witness not knowing if the truth will set her free.
This story starts with a swift pace that will have you on the edge of your seat and doesn't let up until the end. During that time we meet Diana and Chase, both strong individuals but dealing with some demons from their past. Unsure about each other but united in keeping a little girl safe. They know they need to trust each other to survive the madness happening around them but they are filled with guilt from their past where they failed others. Diana suffered a huge betrayal. Chase a huge loss. Diana leans on her faith, while Chase has given up on his.
There were a slew of twists and turns but the one where what was truly happening was revealed stopped me in my tracks. Vile, evil, wicked, depraved, corrupt, and heinous are the words that flew to the top of my head. Chase and Diana must draw strength from each other and God to survive the ordeal. I was very emotional reading the last pages.
Courage. Danger. Faith. Chase and Diana were courageous to put themselves in such danger. Their faith in God was renewed when they survived and kept little Emmie safe. After a story filled with suspense and danger, the author slows things down with an Epilogue that will warm your heart and boost your own faith.
Hiding the Witness is an action-filled story that if you are like me you will read it all in one sitting because it is impossible to put down. Ms. Alexander gives us genuine characters with depth, and flaws, who evolve in ways that change their lives by making both of them stronger. I highly recommend this story for all who enjoy suspense with a clean romance.
