Silence In The Dark-Patricia Bradley-Review

                                                  Silence in the Dark
I love a book that get's me from page one.  And this one did.  From the beginning to the end I was swept up!  
Here's what it's about . . . 

From the back cover . . .
Bailey Adams is running for her life . . . again.
When Bailey ,left Logan Point two years ago she thought she was getting away from her problems. Running into her ex-fiancé Danny Maxwell was not part of the plan--neither was being chased through the city by the local drug cartel, the Calatrava. Now despite her best efforts, Danny is her only chance of escaping the people chasing her and getting back to Logan Point safely. Can Bailey find the strength to face what's coming? And in the midst of the chaos, can she keep herself from falling in love with her rescuer all over again?

With lean, fast-paced prose that will keep you turning the pages, Patricia Bradley pens a superb story of suspense and second chances.

A faced paced story of suspense,mystery,romance and a little struggle with faith.  

This is the first book I've read by Patricia Bradley and I look forward to reading more.  Especially from this series.  

Silence In The Dark is the 4th installment of the Logan Point Series.  I had no problem keeping up or figuring out what was going on without having read the first 3.  

To me that makes a good book.  Plus because I was pulled into the story and the characters.  At the end I was left wanting more.  In a good way I left wanting to read the rest of the series.  

It's the sign of a good book when the author keeps you guessing who the villain is. Or ads twists and turns to the plot that you least expect.  Patricia Bradley does this with 
Silence In The Dark.  

         Silence In The Dark deserves my 5 Star rating!

What I thought . . . 
I was thrilled for opportunity to read this book.  The author states she moved 14 times.  I was interested and intrigued because I/we  have moved almost that many times!  
I so needed this book back in the day when our children were home and I navigated through the near trauma of moving out of state.  
I wish I had this resource.  I would have been much more prepared for certain things.  I'm a list maker and 
very organized when it comes to packing and moving and experienced. 
But the topics that are covered in this book are ones that I needed help with.  Leaving friends and finding new ones.    
Susan does an excellent job of sharing helps and hints.    And she provides godly counsel.  This book is easy to read and is an excellent book to share with friends that might need an introduction to God and his faithfulness. 

Susan is dedicated to helping other women navigate the process of moving and has founded a 
non-profit called Just Moved.  She provides a large number of resources here.

This book is a great resource for women.  I highly recommend it.
