Summary
Review by Donna F, Reviewer May 07 2024 5/5
Angela Carlisle's debut novel, Secondary Target, packs a punch that defies expectations for a first-time author. Corina's journey, as she confronts her haunted past while rekindling sparks with the dashing Bryce Jessup, an Army vet now residing next door to her dad, is a rollercoaster of suspense, action, and a sprinkle of second-chance romance.
Carlisle nails the suspense, keeping readers guessing and delivering twists that even the most seasoned romantic suspense buffs will appreciate. There's this scene—gives me chills just thinking about it—that showcases Carlisle's knack for the eerie. The villain was definitely playing with Corina. I appreciated Carlisle's bold move to explore multiple viewpoints, including those of the antagonists, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. Count me in as a fan, eagerly awaiting Carlisle's next book in the series!
