Vow of Justice {A Book Review}

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own. 




FBI Special Agent Lincoln St. John is living his own personal nightmare. When the woman he loves, Allison Radcliffe, is killed, he devotes his life to tracking down the killers and making them pay for their crimes. He expected it to be a challenge. What he never expected was to find Allison very much alive shortly after her "murder." As his anger and hurt mix with relief, Linc isn't sure how he's supposed to feel. One thing he does know for sure: he and Allison will have to work together to stop a killer before she dies a second time--this time for good.

While I am familiar with and have read other books by Lynette Eason, I believe this was the first book from The Blue Justice series that I had had the opportunity to read. The good news is, it stood alone on its own very well though I got the impression here and there that perhaps readers had already been introduced to other members of the St. John family through previous books, it in no way impacted my ability to keep up with this one. The bad news is the story was SO good, that I now must go back and read all the others to catch up on what I'd missed. Okay, okay... that's not really bad news at all, is it?

Christian romantic suspense is my absolute favorite genre and this book is a prime example of just why that is. The action starts right from the beginning and kept me in its grips right through the final pages. Now I must admit I did figure out both the 'whodunnit' and other rather important plot twists fairly early on, but I don't feel like this was necessarily because it was easily predictable... just that I again read a TON of these books and have gotten pretty good at picking up on the subtle clues left throughout the story. Even at having figured out various aspects of the story out, it didn't ruin it for me. I still found myself wanting to see how it all played out. The Christian aspects in this were very natural--- not preachy or in your face, but still quite dominant in the characters life, which is something that I can very much appreciate. The romance in this story wasn't as prevalent as that seen in other novels in the genre, but I certainly enjoyed getting to know the couple too. All aspects worked together to create a fantastic story, with nothing inappropriate I don't care for!

If you've already fallen in love with the Blue Justice series, you will love this final book in the series! If you've not read the others, you'll want to catch up... or just read this one on it's own. Either way, it's a great read!
