Danger in the Shadows

As I mentioned yesterday, Dee Henderson's prequel to the O'Malley series is Danger in the Shadows.

There are two protagonists to every Henderson book that I've read so far. In this book, they are Sara Walsh and Adam Black.

On the surface, Sara is a children's author who comes from a wealthy family. Under the surface, Sara is the victim of a stalker, and has been for most of her life, necessitating security at every second of the day or night. She had been kidnapped when she was just a child, and now she is scarred inwardly and outwardly.

Adam is more or less just as he appears: a former star football player who has finally decided to step down from the field. But he also carries a bit of secrecy. It doesn't have the drama Sara's life is laced with, and it's revealed pretty early on, but it is his own personal demon.

How do these polar opposites meet? Can Sara risk being associated with a public icon? Can Adam handle the transition from fame to hiding?

Can they both trust God to not only help them survive, but to actually live?

Overall, a pretty good book. Rather dark in places, and Sara rarely gets a moment of fun without it being completely ruined five seconds later. But still. Pretty good book.
