The past year has been anything but easy for Hannah Dain. Even now, sitting in a car with her sister Shelby, whom she's assisting with a legal case regarding nuclear waste dumping, is stressful. She is keeping huge family secrets that will affect the lives of those around her, and she's constantly questioning whether Shelby is relapsing from her rehab stint; all of this is enough to drive any normal person insane. Unfortunately, more is to come.

As the two sisters stop for refreshments, the SUV that's been following them for miles is coming straight at them at a high speed, then veers off the cliff and plummets into the lake below. Hannah's first instinct is one of action; she slides down the hill and saves the driver from the freezing water, risking her own life in the process. As the next set of chain events unfolds, Hannah begins to understand that her saving a life and the case that her sister is working on are intricately connected to not only herself, but everyone around her.

I would of like to have read the first book in this series to understand the characters better, but other than that, I had a great time reading it. From the very first page, FALSE FORTUNE is action-packed with deeply held secrets and danger at every corner. A great read!!
