Beth Venable has seen too much. Witness to a major mob hit,
she’s placed in protective custody until the trial. But
after her third safe house is riddled with bullets, she goes
off-grid to save herself. What the FBI can’t do, her kinfolk
will.
The beautiful but forbidding Appalachian Mountains of
Kentucky welcome Beth back, dirt roads and rustic shacks a
world apart from L.A. But her homecoming—even her blissful
reunion with strong, silent Ryal Walker—is made bittersweet
by the fight she’s brought to the clan’s doorstep. Hidden in
a remote cabin with the man she’s always wanted, Beth begins
to dream of a new life: her old one. But after so long, with
such
dangers stalking her…impossible.
But love can distill life down to its essence: an elixir of
pure hope, nerve—and the will to survive.
I've recently read several stories of the type where there's a witness who needs to be protected, and the people who are supposed to be in charge have messed it up big time, putting the witness into even more danger. Therefore I was a bit unsure if Ms. Sala whose work I really enjoy could make her story be different enough to keep me turning page after page.
Not only was the story fast paced and exciting, but when I turned the last page I was more than ready for the next installment, and had to contain my disappointment when I found out it wouldn't be released for several months yet.
With the release of Next of Kin Ms. Sala proves that she has what it takes to keep her at the top of my auto buy list! (Sandi Shilhanek 8:16am April 9, 2012)
Sharon Sala is one of my top favorite authors - she is great - and on my auto-buy list, too! (Felicia Ciaudelli 7:31pm January 21, 2013)
