MOVING TARGET is a page-turning suspense that will keep you glued to the pages while the hero and heroine run for their lives. I told my fifteen year old daughter that I realize we live in a fallen world and "there is nothing new under the sun" but it absolutely terrifies me that something such as written about in this book could actually happen -- and did happen in the author's mind as she wrote the story. My daughter responded with "I think all suspense authors are scary." Hmm. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know any in real life.



Whether Ms. Eason is scary or not isn't what is in question though. It's this story. And for the screamish, it'd probably be best to throw the book down and run screaming in the opposite direction. There are dead bodies everywhere. And more terror than you can imagine. For the not screamish, prepare to get no sleep until you finish this book because you just can't put it down.



The faith message is very solidly worked through the entire book, in both the characters' private lives and in the suspense. I felt sorry for Quinn but I didn't actually like him and he and Maddy argue almost constantly so I'm kind of wondering how well a relationship between them will work out.



The suspense itself keeps you guessing pretty much. I did sort of figure it out when something was mentioned early on in the book, but I didn't completely figure it out. Then the whole thing seemed to end too soon, and the characters are like "we're safe" and I'm like no you aren't, there's too many pages left... and then unbelievably the heroine does something totally INSANE and that of course is the real black moment when all will be revealed.



Not my favorite Lynette Eason book but a still a page-turner.



This is book three in the series, but it stands alone. Still, fans will want to read Always Watching, Chasing Secrets, and Without Warning



I got a copy off Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
