Review & GIVEAWAY: Forget Me Not

Title: Forget Me Not

Author: Vicki Hinze

Summary: Crossroads Crisis Center owner Benjamin Brandt was a content man—in his faith, his work, and his family. Then in a flash, everything he loved was snatched away. His wife and son were murdered, and grief-stricken Ben lost faith. Determination to find their killers keeps him going, but after three years of dead ends and torment, his hope is dying too. Why had he survived? He’d failed to protect his family.

Now, a mysterious woman appears at Crossroads seeking answers and help—a victim who eerily resembles Ben’s deceased wife, Susan. A woman robbed of her identity, her life, of everything except her faith—and Susan’s necklace.

The connections between the two women mount, exceeding coincidence, and to keep the truth hidden, someone is willing to kill. Finding out who and why turns Ben and the mystery woman’s situation from dangerous to deadly. Their only hope for survival is to work together, trust each other, and face whatever they discover head on, no matter how painful. But will that be enough to save their lives and heal their tattered hearts?

My Thoughts: This was quite the page-turner! I read over a 36-hour time period. We were visiting family over Easter weekend, and I found myself stealing time away to sit and read. I had to find out what was coming next! The story was very interesting, and there were some twists and turns in there that were a bit unexpected. That's a good thing – I hate when books are predictable! Another plus was that this book didn't shove Christianity down my throat. I am a born-again Christian, and do not find Christian books in the least bit offensive. I just hate when it feels like I'm reading more of a sermon and less of a story. I want the story! ;-) That said, I felt this book had the perfect balance of God and plot. We see prayer and reference to God and faith in ways that felt perfectly natural to me.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars
