Danger All Around!

As per her sick mother's request, Ivy has traveled to a remote part of Alaska to buy a manuscript. But nothing has worked out. The seller, Alina, did not show up for the planned exchange. When Ivy tracks her down, Alina claims she has changed her mind about selling. Then Alina admits her granddaughter, Danna, took it to an even more isolated part of Alaska, and she is sure Danna is in trouble.

Because Danna reminds Ivy of her departed sister, she throws caution to the wind, and jumps into a search for Danna, and the manuscript.

This turns out to be riskier than Ivy could have imagined. She stumbles upon Danna's uncle right after he has been attacked, and is dying. Suddenly, Ivy is in constant danger. Unknown people threaten her and try to stop her. Alaska's hazardous weather puts Ivy in many life and death situations.

In the midst of this, she runs into Nolan Long, an Alaskan State Trooper. They have a history, but never had a relationship because of Ivy living in Florida and he in Alaska. When their paths unexpectedly cross, things start heating up between them. But neither one of them may live long enough to explore their attraction.

This is a clean, fast-moving thriller that will keep you turning the pages. The descriptions of Alaska are breathtaking. This is part of a series, but the story stands on its own.

Fans of suspense and mystery, with faith sprinkled in, will enjoy this five-star book.

Thank you, Revell Books, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own. ( )

I really loved this last book in this series. I recommend reading them in order to enjoy them in the best way. I loved Ivy and Nolan and all the twists and turns they go through in order to find a missing girl and a missing manuscript. I loved the action and the suspense. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )

A priceless unpublished manuscript. A missing girl. Human trafficking. Terrorists. This is romantic suspense at its best! The adventure, danger, and intrigue kept me turning the pages but the special connection between Ivy and Nolan was the icing on the cake! They both were plagued by guilt from their pasts but the biggest hurdle was how this Florida-loving Sunshine Girl could ever adapt to life with a Mountain Man in Alaska. He loved the cold as much as she loved the heat. Should they try or would they forever regret letting each other go?

This is the third book in the Missing in Alaska series but don't worry if you haven't read the first two. You can read it first and be completely engaged but reading it after the first two books provided me with a sense of completeness. I loved the reunion with Autumn, Grier, Trevor, and Carrie and I adored Ivy and Nolan's sweet but sizzling romance. My only dilemma? Should I read it non-stop to find the villain or take my time so that I could savor the magic?

I may never physically visit Alaska, but the words of author Elizabeth Goddard helped me imagine the biting cold temperatures, the danger of avalanches, and the beauty of the Northern Lights. Armchair travel, mind-boggling suspense, and a compelling story laced with love, trust, and forgiveness--- what more can a reader hope for? I loved Hidden in the Night and I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts. ( )

I enjoyed reading this book. It held my attention throughout. It was well-written and flowed well. The editing was well done and did not interfere with the reading enjoyment.

It was part love story and part mystery. The characters were well-developed and enjoyable. There were many characters in this book and, they all added to the mystery. For a change, I did not guess the ending. This kept me interested until the very end.

The only downside was the ending seemed slightly rushed.

I was given this ARC to read and review through the Revell Reads program. I am not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts are my own. ( )

Hidden in the Night by Elizabeth Goddard is the third book in the Missing in Alaska series. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series (like me). I enjoyed the author’s picturesque descriptions of Alaska. I like suspense books set in Alaska. There is something about this remote cold wilderness that heightens the danger and adds to the suspense. Ivy Elliott is a unique woman. You can tell she loves her mother. Alaska State Trooper Nolan Long is a man of strong character. The mystery was intriguing. I liked that it revolved around a missing Jack London manuscript. I found the first half to be a little slow, but the pacing picked up in the latter part thanks to all the action. There is a good wrap up at the end, so I was not left with any lingering questions. The romance blended nicely with the suspense, but I could have done with less romance. It was not rushed, and it was clean. I can tell the author did her research for this series. She included some great details that add to the experience. Hidden in the Night is a suspenseful story with a great cast of characters, plenty of twists and turns, faith, and romance. ( )
