The Silence

 In Kendra Elliott's the Silence, the second installment in the Columbia River romantic suspense series,  this shocking and twisted storyline picked up where the Last Sister left off, months later. It all started for Mason Callahan when he was called at the grisly scene of a disfigured man in his home. They identified him as Reuben Braswell, who was Ava's CI for one of her cases with the FBI. But while her twin sister Jayne's gone missing, she searches for her and recalls her last meeting with Reuben. Then hell had broken loose when there's a shooting at the courthouse when law enforcement officers and federal agents were attacked under assault by deadly weapons. Was the shooting working alone or had a partner? Mason's partner, Ray, was one of the officers who were shot and taken to the hospital. As the manhunt heats up for Ava and Mason, they unravel Reuben Braswell's life and why he was so anti-law enforcement. When tragedy hits close to home for Ava, she needed a closer look to find Jayne and see how she fit into the equation. In the end, while she prepares for her wedding day to Mason, they learn the ice-cold truth on who was the real shooter and why he targeted her family in a life-and-death matter with a standoff in the end. 

This romantic suspense deals with dark subject matters and conspiracy theories that's so twisted to spin your head. I did care about Ava on how she'd dealt with life issues from preparing for her wedding, searching for Jayne, and facing an egotistical hothead like Reuben Braswell. I also cared for Mason who looked after her, his children, his partner Ray and other people. I loved Oregon  as the central location especially near the Columbia River and beyond it for its luscious scenic settings. The theme is respect for others and treat everyone with kindness.

 If you love heart-stopping action-packed romantic suspense with plenty of drama, sizzling romance, and tons of jaw-dropping twists, check out the Silence today.
