My Review
Be prepared to stop breathing until the last page...
Double Take has got to be one of the best Lynette Eason books that I've read in quite awhile. It started off in a whirlwind and didn't let up for even a moment afterwards. Just when you think you might have it all figured out you can almost hear the words 'plot twist!' And you realize that you still know next to nothing.
One of the things that I found quite interesting, and I appreciated, is that both lead characters deal with PTSD. This gives each of them an understanding of the other's struggles. I also liked how they helped one another instead of just trying to fix the other.
Not only is it a solid start to the Lake City Heroes series but it is quite the novel all on its own. The story is contained and there is a resolution to the mystery by book's end. I spent a lot of time guessing while reading Double Take and I can tell you that in spite of that Lynette Eason still surprised me a little bit by the time I turned the last page of book one in the Lake City Heroes series.
Double Take was a great read, very enjoyable as a romantic suspense, and kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. Now I can't wait to find out where Lynette Eason will take her Lake City Heroes next when book two comes out...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Double Take by Lynette Eason a 4.5 Bark rating.
