Deception by Lisa HarrisMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I was waiting for this one for a while now and was so excited when this one hit my kindle. From the first sentence, this story started out strong and filled with action and suspense which did not end.
I loved how the author took Sam's story from the present to the past to show the reader the journey Sam was on to get back to his family.
Up until book 3, readers experienced the blackout from the members of Shadow Ridge and neighbouring towns, so it was intriguing to see how other parts of the country experienced and survived. Readers, along with the characters, also learned more about who is behind the blackout.
Sam's personal journey and struggles with his faith was also a highlight for me.
“I think most of the time we don't stop long enough to be still and hear his voice. We’re so busy being distracted.”
There was one character I've met and had this feeling he is not all he pretends to be, which ended up being a valid feeling.
“It was something he’d always wanted to be. Open to God’s calling, and willing to do the hard stuff. But finding the faith to walk on water was never easy.”
I loved the reunion between Sam and his family.
By the time I finished this book, I was not ready to say goodbye.

About the book:
It’s been over a year since Sam McQuaid has been back home to Shadow Ridge, and this time, he’s returning with a bounty on his head.
Welcome to Shadow Ridge, where LONGMIRE meets JERICHO.
From USA Today Best-selling author Lisa Harris comes an epic new series where the survival of Shadow Ridge depends on learning how to fight crime all over again.
In today’s world, law enforcement agencies across the country rely on forensic tools, DNA testing, and crime labs. But what if that technology was suddenly no longer available? No one in the small, west Texas town of Shadow Ridge knows what took down the power grid, or when it’s going to be back up, but everyone knows exactly where they were the moment it went down. And now, with no electricity, no internet, and no modern technology, the men and women responsible for keeping the town safe are going to have to learn how to fight crime all over again.
