Secondary Target

Starred review from March 8, 2024

DEBUT After losing her mom and brother at age 13, Corina Roberts understands loss all too well. The protective walls she has built as other tragedies have unfolded in her life are thick and impenetrable. That is, until Bryce Jessup moves back to town and starts whittling away at them. When a man from her father's past starts threatening Corina's life, Bryce steps in to protect her at all costs, but Corina doesn't want him involved. When her father disappears, however, she grudgingly accepts his help. Escalating his threats, the killer puts Bryce and his sister in the crossfire, and Corina's flashbacks to the night her brother died weigh heavily on her. She is sure she was partially responsible, and she won't lose Bryce and his sister as well. How can she keep them safe, find her father, and stop the killer before someone else she loves dies? VERDICT With a thrill a minute and myriad twists and turns, readers will devour this first novel in the "Secrets of Kincaid" series. Fans of Lynette Eason and Colleen Coble won't want to miss this enthralling debut.--Jane Blue
