This was my first experience reading Vicki Hinze, but let me tell you, if will not be my last! I'm already looking forward to the next book in this series, but will have to wait 'til Spring 2011 to get my hands on it. Bummer!
I can't give one of my typical reviews of this book, because I would end up giving too much away. Anyone who is familiar with my reviews knows that I like to focus on each of the main characters lives, as well as add a little something about any secondary characters who might have caught my attention; well, that's just not possible with Forget Me Not. I can't even tell you the female lead-character's name w/o spoiling a big part of the story! Yes...it's that intriguing!
Forget Me Not is a fast-pasted book, from the very first sentence, and I read it in a matter of a few hours. It has it all: international terrorists, corrupt politicians/town leaders, back-stabbing family members, even a few tear-inducing moments. I think guys would even enjoy this one---it would make an awesome movie!
Let me also mention, for those of you who may not be fond of the "stronger" faith-themed Christian Fiction books, this one might not be for you, but you should definitely give it a chance as it's well worth your time. God is a major part of the female character's life and the story just wouldn't be the same w/o His influence throughout the entire book. Her life revolves around her strong faith in her Heavenly Father.
In case y'all are wondering if I have completely strayed from my "all-Romance/all the time" roots....no, I have not! This book even has a romantic angle for us Romance junkies, which I was so excited to discover. LOL
If you want to check out Vicki Hinze's first foray into Christian Fiction, be sure to grab a copy of Forget Me Not for yourself. I think you'll be glad you did --- I know I am! I'm hoping to get my hands on more of her books, as soon as I can.

Suspenseful. So suspenseful, I was confused through most of the book trying to figure out the who-dun-it's and the what's-next's. Wow! Over all this book was good. I just was so confused so many times during all the twists and turns! Whew!
When you read this book, be prepared for a roller coaster ride. The plot is written (though at times, confusing!) with characters that blend well with the author's plot. By the end of the book, your jaw will be on the floor! The last few pages really opened my eyes and I wasn't totally sure I wanted the book to end.
There is romance, friendship, faith and mystery all rolled into the start of a thrilling new series. I do recommend this book with 4 stars to anyone out there who loves a thrilling, inspirational book with lots of emotions, ups and downs, twists and turns. A lot of suspense novels out there are full of gorey detail. But with Forget Me Not, you get the fast paced, edge of your seat ,white knuckle thrills, without being grossed out.
And all that being said, I am sitting here, as I type this review, wondering what book 2, Secret Servants, has in store for us! I can't wait! Well done, on an intriguing new series, Vicki!
