Hidden Peril by Irene Hannon has suspense and international intrigue. I really enjoyed the opening, which did a good job of hooking the reader. The main characters, Detective Luke Carter and former Peace Corp volunteer and current shop owner Kristin Dane, are both likable with realistic flaws. Both have backstory issues adding to the complexity of the story, and their characters both show growth and depth. The details on the police work and terror cells rang pretty true. The story overall leans more on the romantic side, with the romance keeping a prominent role throughout the book, but there is also suspense and a good, solid plot. The Christian aspects of the book are woven into the story without being preachy, which I prefer. This book is the second in a series, and I didn't read the first, but it is a stand-alone novel. It did seem to go on a bit in places, but maybe that's just me. I enjoyed this book, and I do recommend it.
I received this book from the publisher, Revel, for the purpose of writing a review, but all opinions are my own.
