Cole and Lisa were fostering a baby when the mother comes to their front door and bleeds to death. Before she dies, her last words are warning Cole and Lisa to take the baby because “he’s coming for her.” Cole, Lisa, and the baby then go into hiding. Thirteen years later, after settling down, Cole is framed for a murder and they have to all go on the run again. They are both evading the FBI and running for their lives from the real murderer.

This book was action-packed and fast-paced from the start. I loved the story here and really enjoyed the characters. This is a very close-knit family that deeply cares for one another. I didn’t find myself bored at all while listening to this. The ending was satisfying and this book was well worth the read. There were maybe a few plot holes, but I didn’t mind.

The narrator, James Anderson Foster, was fantastic as well and helped keep the story engaging.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this audiobook.
