Well, it’s official—Mary Alford is a must-read author. She knows how to do suspense right. Having already read another book of hers, I know to expect the unexpected, so I keep guessing throughout the entire story: “Is it this person? Is it that person?” I couldn’t have been more wrong. The ending is shocking. And because it’s romantic suspense, I also got the perfect dose of romance woven seamlessly throughout. The Amish aspect in this one is well-balanced. The community element of the religion is present without detracting from the fact that very dangerous people are after Paige Grayson and Elijah King. Elijah is an atypical Amish main character—in that, although he’s a pacifist, it doesn’t stop him from doing what needs to be done to protect Paige. He makes the best book boyfriend. If you love suspense, you’ll be immediately immersed in this book. Even those who don’t typically go for Amish romance or suspense will enjoy it immensely. As the title suggests, this is more Amish-adjacent. I can’t recommend this book enough.
