“A thriller you won’t soon forget, especially if you’re a fan of the romantic obsession mastered by Alfred Hitchcock in Vertigo or Otto Preminger’s Laura. Vicki Hinze’s latest blends disparate elements together with surprising ease, and the result is a darkly original tale where hope and faith provide the light. The story, though, isn’t so much about faith conquering all so much as coming to the realization of its limitations and learning to overcome them, which comes define Brandt’s very heroism. Such spiritual elements would’ve overburdened the tale in lesser hands. Good thing’s Hinze’s are as sure and steady as they come, making Forget Me Not not to be missed.” (On Forget Me Not)

The Shadow Watchers were introduced in the Crossroads Crisis Center novels. Now they return with their own stories…

SHE BROKE THEIR ENGAGEMENT

In Seagrove Village, former Shadow Watcher, Tim, receives a stunning text from his ex-fiancé, Mandy, on their long dormant, secure phone. She is in trouble and needs help. Against the team’s objections—Mandy had broken their engagement to marry another man—Tim responds…and discovers NINA, Nihilists in Anarchy, an international terrorist organization the Shadow Watchers have tangled with before, is after Tim’s team again. This time, through Mandy.

NOW SHE RETURNS RISKING BOTH THEIR LIVES

The breakup had devastated Tim, but what he discovers now forces him to work with Mandy to reveal yet another layer of operatives in the NINA organization. A layer that, for Mandy, strikes terror close to home and makes her The Marked Bride.

FEW ARE WHO THEY SEEM. FACTS ARE MERCURIAL

Even those fighting this formidable enemy with the Shadow Watchers are withholding vital information that endangers the lives of all the Shadow Watchers and leaves Tim and Mandy wondering: Can they reveal the truth and protect the nation’s interests and stay alive? Can the team succeed in the fight against the enemy and its own side?

THEIR SURVIVAL IS IN DOUBT, THEIR FUTURE UNCERTAIN

When all is done, who will survive? And of the survivors, if Tim and Mandy are among them, will they stand together, or again be robbed of their future and forever forced apart?

From M.W.C.:

“This is an enjoyable novel of romantic suspense, about a young woman who has been forced to end her engagement to a man she very much loves, in order to protect him and his friends from a deadly threat. Months of misery later, tragedy and violence nearly destroy her life, and she reaches out to her former fiance for help. From then on, things twist and turn until finally after many surprises and serious dangers, the issues are resolved and there is hope for a positive future for the characters. The novel is the first in a series of three, and continues the sequence from a previous series, with continuing characters, but fortunately free of cliffhangers. The first series is called, collectively, The Crossroads Crisis Center, and this series is called The Shadow Watchers. There is a Christian background, never intrusive, but clear in the character and values of the main characters. I enjoyed this book very much, I liked the characters and sympathized with their difficulties and conflicts. I will now look for and read the Crossroads Crisis series, and I am looking forward to the publication of the next two books in the Shadow Watchers series.

“I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review. I enjoyed reading it, and look forward to reading other books in these series.”

From Katie M.:

“This book is very fast paced with plenty of action and will keep you guessing the entire time as to who The Jackal and The Phoenix (Jackal’s boss) are and how they are connected to Mandy, Tim and the rest of Shadow Watchers.

You must read this wonderful book to find out what happens. I highly recommend it.”

From Cyn:

” In a nutshell this is a very fast pace, clean, thrilling action pack read that really grabs you attention hooking you form the first page.”
