"Over the Edge" is a Christian romantic suspense novel. Though the second book in the series, it works as a standalone. The characters were likable and reacted realistically to events. Suspense was created by someone messing with Lindsey to discredit her as the sole witness of the suspected murderer (though she didn't see very much of use). Jack and Lindsey initially kept each other at a distance emotionally. Jack's birth mother had mental problems, so he didn't want to get involved with someone who might have similar problems. Lindsey felt Jack hadn't accepted her friend for who she was but pushed her to do something he liked that turned out to be dangerous. Since her parents also pushed her toward careers she didn't care for, she was worried Jack might not be willing to accept her for who she was. However, they came to care for each other as they spent time together and got to know each other.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this interesting suspense novel.

Over the edge by Irene Hannon is a captivating book with lots of twist and turns. There is wonderful storyline with great characters, whom I fell in love with. "Over the Edge" was one of many great books by this author. I'm excited about the next book she has published. I would like to thank the author, publisher and Net valley for allowing me to read this advanced copy.

I have always enjoyed books by this author and this was no exception. A mystery of some lost memories-the important ones to know who the bad guy is. I found the story believable and liked the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone one who likes some suspense thrown in with some romance. I was having trouble guessing “who did it”. I was given this book to review.

“Over The Edge” took me over the edge, submerging me into the story.

Jack is my kind of hero, dedicated, brave, and a little bit flawed. He has his share of baggage. He didn’t let it hold him back from his job, but once he meets Lindsey he’s pulled back and forth between attraction and caution. The things she’s dealing with hit too close to home to jump in with both feet, but maybe he could dip a toe into the water.

Lindsey thinks she has a reason to distrust Jack, the detective assigned to investigate the murder case where she’s a witness. As he works the case her perceptions begin to change but her past trauma keeps rising up to interfere with what might grow between them.

The action starts right from the beginning and keeps on coming, but I still found it hard to push through to the end. Somehow the pace was slow in the midst of all that was happening. Despite this I’m glad I finished the book. The ending was a surprise and the romance sweet.

I was given a copy through NetGalley courtesy of Revell. This is my honest opinion of the book.

Hannon delivers a fast paced, suspense filled thriller in the second book of the Undaunted Courage series! Full of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end taking the story in a completely unexpected turn makes it hard to put down. Delightful characters, both new and old, help you want to snuggle in and never leave the company of the book. Undercurrents of romance, mystery, and never ending danger are just a few of the things that kept me captivated.

This could easily be read as a stand alone, but do yourself a favor and also read book one. I loved getting to know Jack and his story. I find the storyline of the three adopted foster siblings rising above their circumstances, but not without a few scars, fascinating. I can’t wait for book three and sister, Cara’s story.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

RIVETING TALE OF MISCHIEF, MAYHEM, AND MURDER!

Author Irene Hannon is back with Book 2 in her Undaunted Courage Series, and Over the Edge should not be missed! She brings readers a riveting tale of malicious mischief, mayhem, and murder. She creates an atmosphere of suspense that will keep you on guard as you read each page of this book! My favorite thing about Hannon’s writing is how the suspense triggers the romance. The romance is a slow burn, and seeing how Hannon weaves it into her plot is always interesting.

Police detective Jack Turner does not know how to handle this witness or this case because there is no evidence behind her claims. Is Lindsey psychotic? Someone is going to a lot of trouble, making it appear that she is. Yet, Jack believes in her innocence. They must work together to prove who is trying to make her look insane. Hannon writes an excellent description of Lindsey’s good deed that turns into a kidnapping and cat-and-mouse search for her. Will Lindsey be clever enough to leave a clue for Jack? Will Jack know where to look for a clue? Please read this intriguing new release to find the answers to these questions and enjoy a thoroughly entertaining book. I highly recommend it!

Revell and NetGalley provided me with a complimentary copy of this book. However, my opinions are entirely my own and uninfluenced.

Irene Hanson is the Queen of Mystery and Suspense but this plot line just seemed predictable. There needed to be something unexpected that happened and that gave a plot twist.

I have read most of Irene Hannon's books. She is an amazing Christian suspense writer! I will continue to read anything she sees fit to publish!

Over the Edge is book two in the Undaunted Courage series but it does fine as a stand alone novel. Lindsey Barnes carries a lot of baggage and has experienced her share of trauma. She faithfully sees a therapist and is slowly recovering well. One day when she goes to a client's house to prepare meals for the week, she witnesses the aftermath of a murder.
From that point on, someone is worried about what she might remember. A series of accidents and near misses leave Lindsey wondering if she is finally losing her mind! Her male counterpart is Detective Jack Tucker. Jack has a history with Lindsey's deceased friend and Lindsey is wary of him. But she needs him to be in her corner if she is to escape the terror that always seem to be waiting for her.

I enjoyed Over the Edge very much! Any fans of Lynette Eason, Terri Blackwell or Nancy Mehl will like it too! I highly recommend!

The second in the series and I loved this as much as the first. Definitely looking forward to the third. Irene Hannon Christian suspense books are auto buys for me, as I reread them. I was blessed with a free ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review. The suspense was fast paced and heart pounding. The sweet, clean romance was secondary. High faith content. Both of the main characters have had so much trauma in their lives and this some baggage. I was completely surprised by the villains. I did have my suspicions, but wasn’t positive.

How much can trauma mess with your mind? What is real, and who will believe what can't be proven? Lesley starts to doubt herself, but Jack doesn't give up.
As typical for Irene Hannon this novel is more love story than thriller, but there's still enough suspense to keep you guessing.

Lindsey Barnes is our featured character and you’ll really like her, but it seems all the odds are stacked against this poor girl. She is a personal chef, trying to make it in a competitive world. The story begins as Lindsey lets herself in to the very elegant kitchen of one of her customers. She is there to retrieve her expensive and essential knife roll she left there the night before. Lindsey has permission to let herself in only with her picky client, Heidi’s very specific and strict conditions, so she knows the disarm code. This time as she enters, the alarm is not set. That’s weird. Here Lindsey’s mounting troubles begin with a terrifying discovery, in the kitchen.

Lindsey’s past has afforded her more than her fair share of trauma and she is struggling to move forward with the help of her counsellor, Oliver. But instead, her life becomes increasingly more difficult as she discovers she’s trapped in the crosshairs of a ruthless killer of a high profile victim. She is the sole witness, making her a deadly target.

St. Louis County Detective Jack Tucker, is with the County Crimes Against Persons Bureau. He investigating the murder working to uncover the real killer. At this point the prime suspect is Lindsey! In the meantime, strange , to sand unexplained events occur all centered around Lindsey. She, herself and others begin to question if what she’s reporting is the truth or a figment of her imagination. Even this reader wondered if the girl was losing it. Still I pulled for her throughout the book.

You will like the character of Jack as well. He has his own issues and also has a traumatic backstory which make him sensitive to Lindsey’s mental health. Nevertheless, must remain neutral despite his heart telling him to give in. Enter the romantic side of the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book of forgiveness, trust and recognizing the power of love all based on reliance on God and prayers.

There were breath holding times as well as a few dry spells in the novel. I highly recommend Over the Edge.
I’m an avid reader of suspense and love when an author is able to write unique situations that come as big surprises.

I like that Over the Edge, kept me in suspense throughout. My attention was glued so it was hard to find spots to take a break from reading.

Another great suspense from Hannon. I love that Lindsey was a personal chef! This made for a unique perspective. Just a really great series by Hannon. I just wish the books came out a little closer to each other. It feels like a long wait between novels & I start to forget the story...

Irene Hannon once again delivers a solid storyline that draws the reader in quickly. I will always read anything Hannon writes.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Over the Edge wasn’t a bad read, but it also wasn’t the best. I easily predicted who the killer was the first time they appeared in the book and thought ending dragged out to a predictable finish. The romance between the characters was a bit forced but sweet. Not my favorite suspense read, but interesting!

Over the Edge, by Irene Hannon, will grab your attention from page one.  Lindsey Barnes, who works as a private chef, gets caught up in a traumatic situation in the midst of her work day.  She finds the body of her boss on the floor of the kitchen and unfortunately she hears the sound of someone in the bathroom.  Is it possible the murderer is still in the house? Lindsey is able to hide until this individual exists the house; however, now the police may consider her a witness to this crime!

Police detective, Jack Turner, is brought in to help solve this case. Things seem to crawl to a dead end, but Lindsey recalls enough details to breathe some life back into finding a solution. As she keeps having experiences that no one can find evidence of, some begin doubting Lindsey’s sanity!

It is interesting to watch Jackson and Lindsey work together to finally discover who is behind all of the mayhem!

Author Irene Hannon is one of those very gifted authors that pulls her readers into the story quickly and holds their attention until the very end. Over the Edge has great characters that are dealing with things that happened to them in the past and have made good lives for themselves in spite of those things. Lindsey and Jack are likeable and well-developed main characters. There is a great HEA and proposal scene. The plot has twists and turns that kept my interest level extremely high. I was shocked by who the villains were. I find Hannon's writing style easy to read without it being plain. The dialogue feels very natural. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to family and friends and would definitely read more by this author.
I received a copy through NetGalley from the publisher and am sharing my opinion of this well-written and exciting book.

Over the Edge is an appropriate title for this suspenseful, action filled mystery. Lindsey Barnes has had a lot of trauma in the last year and a half and is starting over with a move from South Carolina to St. Louis with her personal chef business. While at a client's home for a quick trip in to retrieve her knife roll, she discovered the owner's body. But the killer was still there, and she had to hide. She managed to go unobserved and lived to tell law enforcement. But somehow the killer learns her identity. Detective Jack Tucker and his team have very little to go on. And someone is trying to make Lindsey appear to be an unreliable witness, pulling pranks to make her look unstable. Evidently, Jack believes Lindsey but will be able to keep her safe? This is one hard to put down with nail-biting scenes, action, surprises, twists, and a great mystery to unravel. And a lovely romance with characters with faith to support them in their distress. Irene Hannon has written another great romantic suspense sure to entertain.
I received a copy for the purpose of an honest review. These are my thoughts.

Over the Edge by Irene Hannon is the Undaunted Courage Series second book. Trauma survivor Lindsey Barnes is back into another tragic misfortune that has her questioning her own sanity. Police detective Jack Tucker is on the case, wanting to help but unsure what is exactly happening at first. Their story and the situation is cleverly told, intelligent and beautifully written.

The suspense had me turning the pages, being filled with brilliant twisty turns. However, it the presence, grace and protection of God that had my heart soaring even as the enemy tries his best to destroy Lindsay. Over the Edge is an all-around great addition to the series. All romantic suspense fans will enjoy this Christian fiction story.

The publisher through Net Galley provided a complimentary digital copy. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, my personal opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

Come to St. Louis, Missouri and allow Hannon to capture your attention with her fantastic adrenaline-pumping romantic suspense.

New-to-me author, Irene Hannon, has crafted a new series, Undaunted Courage, focusing on three foster siblings from difficult backgrounds who were all adopted by the same couple. Each book can be read as a standalone and features one of the three siblings.

The female protagonist in book two is personal chef, Lindsey Barnes. She’s faced more than her fair share of trauma and is trying to move forward with the help of counselling. Her life becomes increasingly more difficult as she discovers she’s trapped in the crosshairs of a ruthless killer when she’s the sole witness to a high-profile murder. With experiencing trauma heaped on top of trauma in such a short time, Lindsey and those trying to help her, begin to question if what she’s reporting is the truth or a figment of her imagination. I'll admit to wondering if her memory was reliable. Is her mind playing tricks? Or is it the killer’s game plan?

I loved St. Louis County Detective Jack Tucker with the County Crimes Against Persons Bureau. He’s got his own issues and traumatic backstory which make him sensitive to Lindsey’s mental health. He holds her at an arm’s reach, despite his heart telling him to give in, until he finally realizes that she’s telling the truth about her experiences. I was rooting for these two to come to terms with their past so that they could move forward together.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story about forgiveness, trust and making room for the power of love.

I'm excited for book 3, to be published in October 2025 featuring Cara, a historical anthropologist. This book will wrap up this series.

I was gifted this copy by Revell and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
