REVIEW

Thanks to author DiAnn Mills for the opportunity to read and review her latest book! This is at least the third of fourth book I’ve read by her and as usual, it does not disappoint. This outing takes us along with hostage negotiator Carrington Reed and reporter Levi Ehrlich. When two brothers Will and Boyle take a group of illegal aliens hostage, the pair are throw together and find themselves caught up in an intricate plot that goes deep into the tight-knit rural community outside Victoria, Texas. When Carrington and Levi go beyond the call of duty, they get sucked into the dangerous world of human smuggling. But who is the ringleader?

Lethal Standoff is another character driven story, heavy on dialogue which drives the action. Both Carrington and Levi have complex family issues. Attracted to each other, Carrington’s emotional and potential health issues make her throw up roadblocks and keep Levi at arms length. As well as a twisty-turny plot, a budding romance, the author dives into the Christian beliefs of her characters.

I really enjoyed this fast paced thriller. The plot kept me guessing and I did not see the ending coming. Kudos to DiAnn Mills for another excellent book.
