Veena’s review of One Last Chance (Blood Ties – The Logans, Book 3) by Kat Martin
Romantic Suspense published by Kensington Books 29 Nov 22 

What starts out as a well check to see if her sister is doing well in the commune that she has become a part of turns into an exciting, nail-biting, adrenaline-fueled adventure.

Skye, with the help of her colleague Edge, is to check out the Children of the Sun cult that her sister has recently joined. When Edge and Skye show up at the gates of the compound, they are confronted by gun-toting guards and are eventually granted an audience with the reverend but not a meeting with Skye’s sister. Suspicious that this cult lives up to all the bad stuff they’ve read and heard about cults, the two decide to do some investigating.

Soon all their fears are verified when they rescue a woman attempting to flee from the compound. Now Skye is determined to rescue her sister and find out more about the guys who run the compound. It turns out that the cult is far from benign. Not only are the women in the compound being abused, but the camp is a cover up for a drug operation.

Skye manages to rescue her sister but is now vested in bringing the key members of the cult down, when they escape the raid by the DEA and the FBI and other sundry alphabet agencies. In the process, they take one of the women who’s a friend to Skye’s sister. The story moves fast and the pulse- pounding action kept me riveted.  Being that this is a romantic thriller, there’s romance between Edge and Skye, and other secondary characters also seem to be developing soft feelings that we’ll hopefully see come to fruition in future stories.

Grade: A

Summary:

Former Green Beret Edge Logan has made a new life for himself at Nighthawk Security in Denver, using his finely honed skills to neutralize threats of all kinds. When he overhears friend and fellow agent Skye Delaney discussing a new case involving her missing sister and a mysterious cult, he offers himself as backup. With her own military background, Skye is gutsy and more than capable, but a cult like Children of the Sun is too risky for anyone to investigate alone.

Skye is grateful for Edge’s experience, even though she is aware of the attraction simmering between them. Her battle scars make her reluctant to get involved with anyone, much less a coworker—even a warrior like Edge. But infiltrating the cult’s compound is more complicated than expected—and something much more sinister than worship is clearly going on behind its walls. As the pair works against the clock to unearth high-stakes secrets, the personal barriers between them begin to crumble. Together, can they unmask the face of evil before their time runs out?
