Review: Flashover

Flashover Flashover by Megan Besing
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

If I could, I would have finished this book in one evening, giving up sleep and hiding away from real life.

Yet hope in Christ didn’t mean there would be no more hardships.

I enjoyed the history and underlying chemistry between Sophie and Houston and how the dangerous situations helped to reconcile their friendship. With some troubled teens and an undercover agent possibly in danger, readers are in for a wild ride.

Don’t let yourself think that you can mess up so much that you can ruin God’s plans. I don’t understand all that He does, but He knows the bigger picture.

I also loved all how the author just made the spiritual element flow within the story, with a few lessons to take home for each reader.

Give God a chance to see how He planned your life. It might surprise you what He does.

Looking forward to the next book, because it feels like there is plot not yet solved which build within each installment of the series.

Don’t hate me, but Sophie, you’re a runner. Sometimes the good things in life are scary at first. God wants you to seek Him when you’re fearful, not hide from Him. Sometimes the bravest thing to do is simply trust Him.

About the book:


SECRETS. BETRAYAL. SACRIFICE.
THIS TIME, THEY'RE NOT JUST FIGHTING FIRE.

An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.

She never expected her second chance to show up…

When her special ops brother was killed, Sophie Lamb left everything—and everyone—behind to start over. Now the owner of a ranch that rescues neglected horses, they’ve become her entire life. And sure, she’s still haunted by the death of her brother, but she doesn’t have time to miss those she’s lost—including her high school crush, Houston James, who she absolutely never thinks about. Okay, almost never.

In the middle of a wildfire….

Houston James can’t catch a break. Sure, he survived a house fire, and became a youth pastor, but a recent false accusation in ministry has sent him into a summer fighting fires. The last thing he expects is to find the girl he can’t forget…

When the blazing Montana wildfire threatens her ranch, Sophie refuses to abandon her rescued animals. But the last person she expects to show up and demand her evacuation is of course, Houston James.

Then her prized stallion goes missing, and she and Houston must work together to track him down before the fire catches up to them. And when they stumble upon a shocking discovery, they are forced to work together, and confront their heartbreaking past, if they hope to survive.

In this relentless fight against external threats and the ghosts of their pasts, Houston and Sophie stand on the brink of a second chance. But the fight isn’t over when the threat she left behind finds her…now, what will her second chance at love cost her?

Don't miss out on this gripping tale of survival and redemption in the heart-pounding second installment of the Chasing Fire: Montana series.
