Review: One Last Shot

One Last Shot One Last Shot by Susan May Warren
My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

Susan May Warren is an author I have never found disappointing.

There's the story we create and the story we're created for. Maybe that's what this adventure is all about.

This first book in her new series with loads of adventure, life threatening danger, two main characters with loads of past hurt to work through and supporting characters with significant spiritual wisdom made me devour this book!

"Which one is it? Because guilt is real and it makes us run to forgiveness. But shame is what the devil uses to get us to hide from God."

Boo and Oaken were great main characters, who from the first dangerous meet till the end, had a clear connection which jumped out of the page.

“Second, the world is broken. Storms happen. Accidents happen. And people die. We can't escape that. So the question is - how are we to respond to that?”

“You can blame God,"..."and go it alone. Or you can trust that God loves you and that he'll carry you through the storm.”

The adventure as we follow team one on the various rescues, and the open-ended threat of a possible killer which follows through to the next book in the series, had me on the edge of the seat.

I loved meeting the new characters and catching up with old ones.

If this is your first Susan May Warren book, you will not feel too lost not reading the previous series, however, you have an amazing backlist to work through!

Excited for the second book about Axel, but really want to get to Moose’s story!


“See, God doesn't wait for us to come to him. He comes after us. He moves first, Oaken. Even when it feels like we're the ones running to him.”

“Because why not? Every girl needed a good rescue at least once in her life.”

About the book:


When country music star Oaken Fox joins survivalist Mike Grizz's new adventure show in the Alaskan wilderness, he just wants to boost his fan base. But when tragedy strikes and Air One Rescue must save them, Oaken wants to quit. Too bad his producer has other plans--signing him on with Air One Rescue as a recruit and making a reality show.

EMT Boo Kingston did not join Air One Rescue to train a celebrity. But she's a rookie to the team, so yes, she'll train Oaken and keep him alive and not for a minute pay attention to his charm.

And then five women go missing from a resort during a bachelorette weekend gone wrong. Now, Air One and the rescue team will have to use all their skills and manpower--including Oaken--to find them before a blizzard settles in. But can they work together before tragedy strikes?
