SYNOPSIS:

 

To solve a kidnapping case,they’ll become the hunted.

Firefighter Pat Ryan is stunned when he hears gunfire and two strangers crash through his door. An anonymous tip led journalist Rachel Davenport to a ramshackle cabin, where she helped an abducted teen escape. With Pat and his K-9 rescue dog’s help, they go on the run with deadly kidnappers in pursuit. But with innocent lives at stake, Rachel and Pat must battle foes and fears to live through the night. 

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

 

REVIEW:

5 stars!

So good I immediately bought her two previous Love Inspired books!

Kidnapped in the Woods, the 3rd Love Inspired publication by Deena Alexander, is an exciting, pulse-pounding, run-for-your-life story in which the two main characters, strangers to each other, desperately try to thwart a human trafficking operation. The story starts suspensefully tense and never lets up for a second. It grabbed me from page one until the very last one was turned. 

Both Rachel Davenport and Patrick Ryan (with his search and rescue dog, Shadow, by his side) readily put their lives on the line to try and save Jane, a young runaway neither has met before. Rachel, a journalist who had previously done a story on young runaways, rushes straight in to help while Pat becomes involved when Rachel and Jane stumble across his cabin in the woods on Long Island. The odds are overwhelmingly against them getting away, but they continue improvising as a blizzard storms around them. Both adults are wounded souls with trust issues from past traumas who have been questioning their connection to God. The story is told from both of their perspectives, so readers are privy to their inner turmoil and how they work through it. I was impressed by how naturally Alexander wove in her characters’ thoughts on their Christian beliefs and honest prayers to God for his help and intercession in the events in their lives: one of the best I’ve read. 

I recommend this highly satisfying read, KIDNAPPED IN THE WOODS, to those who are already fans of Love Inspired books and those new to the line. Jack Moretti, a secondary character in this book, was the feature of Alexander’s SHIELDING THE TINY TARGET, published in July 2022.
