Summary
Fatal Vendetta. I'm not usually a fan of reporters but this was a really good story with likable characters even though the main characters were reporters. Elizabeth is a TV journalist and is abducted while reporting on a fire. I really enjoyed her character. She has a backstory that gives you compassion for her and still makes her a fighter. Zack was a war correspondent who after a very bad experience has assumed another name and is in Montana writing a blog. I loved the friendly competition between Elisabeth and Zack to get the story first. The mystery was very well done and captures your attention in the beginning when Elizabeth gets abducted in the first scene. Although Zach is able to rescue her, the culprit does not give up and continues to lure her into danger. There are several characters to choose from as to who would be the kidnapping. Lots of suspense. And slow building relationship between Elisabeth and Zach. I found it interesting how reporters don't like to be part of the story. They just like to report it.
The book cover was great for this book. The trailer makes it even creepier
