Review: Sundown

Sundown Sundown by Susan May Warren
My rating: πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Bravery isn’t the absence of fear. It’s doing what you must do, despite the fear.

I was looking forward to Colt’s book ever since I have read book one in the Sky King Ranch series. Up until book 3 we learned that Colt was a person who did not shy away from adventure and danger. If someone would step up and take the risk, it would be him. But I also knew there should be more under what he allows others to see, and I was right.

“But you didn’t. You kept going. You’re stronger than you think, and when you’ve come to the end of your strength, God is there.”

The action and suspense continue from book one and two in this series, and links to The Epic Story of RJ and York. So, it is best to read all the books in order. To get the full picture of the suspense plot, all books published by this author, starting with Knox, should be read in order of publishing.

I loved the fast-moving suspense and action, never knowing what will happen on the next page.

What slowed the book down for me was the scientific talk of viruses and vaccines – it was needed for authenticity of the story, but for me it went a bit over my head and lost my interest.

I would have loved a lot more scenes between the three brothers and hope to see him in future stories.

“Saving the world is not your responsibility. That doesn’t belong to any of us. Our job is just to do our part. Show up, with the talents God has given us, and say yes to the mission he’s given us. That’s it. You’re going to feel helpless if you think it’s up to you.”

A great conclusion to a great series.

About the book:


Former Delta Operative Colt Kingston knows when someone is lying. He may not know the truth, but he sure doesn't trust Tae, the woman who is caring for his ailing father at Sky King Ranch. Behind those beautiful blue eyes, he can tell there is a troubled--and smart--woman.

A few of her stories prove true--he's found the crashed plane and the dead body inside. Still, her story of survival seems too incredible to believe . . . until the thugs she claims to be hunting her show up and threaten Sky King Ranch. Now Tae must disappear, along with her secrets.

But Colt's not about to let her go it alone. And when they discover that her secrets include the antidote to a plague that threatens the world, it'll take all three Kingston brothers to save the country they've vowed to protect.

Susan May Warren brings her Sky King Ranch series to a climactic close with this high-stakes race against the clock.
