Present Danger by Elizabeth GoddardMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
The direction your life takes can often come down to one decision, one moment in time.
This was my first book by Elizabeth Goddard, though I do still have a previous series to read as well, which I sort of wish I have read before this book. This book stands alone, but we met the McKade's briefly and I think one main plot in the previous serious was mentioned in this book.
Okay, back to Present Danger. This story started out fast and interesting, and there was a brief slowdown of pace for me when they discussed all the Archaeological laws and regulations. However, it quickly picked up on the action, danger and twists and turns. There was one main twist which was revealed at the end which I guessed, but the author did a great job with all the other twists and turns so that I was totally invested to see who was behind everything. And the author had me guessing a few suspects wrong.
I enjoyed Jack and Terra's back story and interaction. I would have liked to see a bit more about a romantic relationship re-ignited in the present versus only being referenced to the past one to support the ending, but I enjoyed that the focus was mainly on the suspense plot with a romance as a sub-plot.
There was one mystery not yet resolved which I'm guessing will continue during this series, since all the characters in the books are connected to one main event.
Recommended to fans of romantic suspense.
