More from Jerusha

Covert Danger was especially fun and challenging to write because it was the first time I’ve written a book with a heroine who is two people. At least, that’s what it seems like when you start to read Covert Danger.

Amalia Pérez is a security specialist at the Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. She has two K-9 partners—Raksa, a German shepherd protection and search and rescue K-9, and Gaston, a Newfoundland water rescue dog.

Amalia doesn’t talk much about her past, even to her fellow co-workers at the Phoenix K-9 Agency. But her past comes crashing into her present in Covert Danger.

First, Michael Barrett shows up as a witness Amalia is assigned to protect. Trouble is, Michael is her former childhood best friend. And he knows she used to be someone else.

When an assassin arrives on the scene, gunning for Michael, another piece of Amalia’s secret past threatens to hijack her present. Because he’s an assassin that eluded her once before, on her last mission as a CIA operative.

So what is an author to do with a heroine who has two identities? A heroine who is determined her old self is gone forever?

Well, this author dug into the truth.

Thanks to years of running and years of deception before that, Amalia is buried in lies. As Michael points out to her, she doesn’t even know what the truth is anymore.

Sound familiar? Our culture is flooded with lies right now. Lies that grow more and more sinister as people abandon reason completely.

Rampant relativism—the “it’s true for me” mentality—has morphed into outright rejection of all real truth. Worse, it’s also turned into drastic efforts to pressure everyone to identify right as wrong and wrong as right.

Calling good evil and evil good is where we’ll all end up if we abandon the truth. Which is one reason why Amalia’s story—a search for truth and right amid deception and evil—is so important.

God taught me more about truth and deception as I took on the challenge of writing Amalia’s and Michael’s story. And He used this story to make my foundation in the truth stronger, strong enough to withstand the onslaught from our culture and from within.

Even as Covert Danger takes you on a thrilling ride of action and romance, I hope this story helps you find and hold onto the truth like never before.

MY REVIEW

The easier way to describe this story is by saying action packed, dangerous, secrets and strong characters. I love stories with K9’s and the ones in this book are at the top of their pack. They are fierce, strong, protective and alert to everything around  them. To me they are the perfect thing  to have for protection. 

Following Amalia on her new assignment doesn’t give readers much time to breathe as she is deep in suspense. There is a little background on her, but I want readers to discover this on their own. If I’m ever in trouble or  need someone to protect me, I would call Amalia and her K9 immediately. Working with the Phoenix K9 Security and Detection Team place her in direct contact with criminals who are not just dangerous but ruthless. Her new task is to guard a witness who happens to be someone she knows. Will he keep her identity a secret? 

Michael is stunned when he is face to face with Amalia. Where has she been all these years and why is her name different? All these questions run through his mind as he puts his life in her hands. Now he needs to put his trust in God as he is put  into places where danger finds him. I loved how the author slowly lets Amalia and Michael share their past and the hurt, pain and fear facing  them. 

Hearing Amalia say, “I know the whole idea of God is one of the biggest lies invented,” broke Michael’s heart. Why is she so bitter and has kept herself hidden from her parents all these years? She has turned cold inside which makes Michael think she is guarding a very deep secret. Michael has real concern that Amalia may be in danger herself. 

Get ready for suspense , danger and faith in this K9 adventure. Be sure to pay attention to every detail and follow our characters as they try to stay one step ahead of the people who are causing chaos. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
