CIA analyst Brynn Taylor developed a new program to combat terrorism, and she invited members of foreign intelligence agencies to America to foster cooperation between countries. Now one of them, Egyptian spy Remon Riad, is missing.

Jack Hudson has been working for the Strategic Neutralization and Protection Agency (SNAP) for almost nine years and takes the lead in hunting down the missing spy. But he isn't at all pleased to find out Brynn is involved. It's hard to trust a woman who's already betrayed you.

Every lead they follow draws them dangerously deeper into an international plot. Kidnapping, murder, explosions, poisoning--the terrorists will do anything to accomplish their goal of causing a digital blackout that will blind a strategic US military communications center and throw the world into chaos.

Can Brynn surrender control to a man who doesn't trust her? And can Jack ever get over what she did to him? The fate of the world--and their hearts--hangs in the balance.

From the opening chapter managed to set the stage and pull me straight into the given narrative capturing my attention and compelling me to keep heading forward. What a ride this book was to read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lights Out by Natalie Water is my favorite book she has written.

Brynn is a CIA analyst who created a program to combat terrorism, however some think she has invited a terrorist into the program. Brynn is a workaholic and it took me a bit to like her because I was not sure what she had done to Jack in the academy.

Jack was my favorite character. He is in a special unit (SNAP) which might become a series. He doesn’t trust Brynn after what happened to them in the academy.

The book was a good balance of action and adventure as they figure out what is happening and revealing the characters. Jack and Brynn have to trust each other again and decide if there can be more again.

Brynn's career in the CIA hangs on by a thread as a foreign spy goes missing on US soil. To track him down the CIA brings in a SNAP team, led by Jack Hudson, a man she once betrayed. It's a race against time as they track down leads to an imminent terrorist plot. Jack has to answer the question, how do you trust someone who's betrayed you? While Brynn seeks to learn how to trust others when she's only ever relied on herself.

Lots of suspense here in this upcoming release by Natalie Walters. I recommend it for Christian fiction lovers.
