Suspenseful mystery romance

I appreciated the Christian elements in this book like trusting God in times of darkness. The suspense was well done and there were a lot of thrilling scenes.

I enjoyed the writing and think the author is talented at storytelling, although I would’ve liked to have seen less telling and more showing. There was a lot of talking about “I feel afraid” and not showing it. Even though sometimes it was shown.

I skipped over some of the kissing. Even though there wasn’t anything too detailed from what I could tell, as in no tongue was mentioned from what I heard (though maybe I skipped that part idk), i felt like there was some sensuality implied with adjectives like “hungry” etc. attached to these kisses. And these kisses sounded passionate even if not described passionately if that makes sense. I also kinda felt like the frequency of kissing and mentioning the attraction so often kinda took away from the emotional side of the romance. Obviously attraction is normal, but I mean they just met and I would’ve liked to see more deep conversations, sharing about hobbies and doing normal things together before coming to the conclusion they were meant to be and let’s just start kissing every chance we get. It was a bit overdone.

I did appreciate the redemption elements and how they took on each other’s baggage in the relationship.
