Chryssie Mason has been struggling for what seems to be forever. She's worked hard and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

She's put herself through college to be a nurse and she's one final exam from getting her license.

Working part time at a bar, she meets Zack, what she calls a bad boy. Ponytail, tattoos, laid back attitude ... she's made bad choices before. She's determined to not make the same mistakes as she has in the past. She doesn't trust anyone, anymore.

One night, leaving work, she witnesses a murder. Again she makes a wrong decision ..one that may cost her everything she has and everything she wants.

Being just a little over 100 pages, this is a quick read. It's an inspirational, Christian story about choices that people make. It's well written, if not entirely credible, but it was interesting. I really liked the characters, and even though Chryssie doesn't trust Zach, I like how they relate to each other.

Many thanks to the author / Pelican Book Group / Netgalley for the digital copy of this Inspirational story. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Broken Trust what a suspenseful story. It's starts off with a Big Bang - wink wink-. Then you have or Chryssie making some bad decisions in her life and apparently always have and she is trying to do the opposite. She is doing this for her sister whom she is trying to get custody of. That is why she is trying so hard to get her Nursing degree so she can show she is going to provide a stable life, but her decision to let something go has made the wrong decision for her and she has made these wrong decisions to this point. Zack is a stable person in her life but she keeps turning his feelings away, but she keeps turning his feelings away, he knows the LORD and He is trusting to share that with her but is she going to let him and the LORD into her heart? Is she going to trust? The predicament she is in she needs both. Now this book is not for young readers - it has adult situations, that's all.

Powerful Christian suspense novella… Chryssie 's life turns into a nightmare after she witnesses a killing. After Chryssie escapes, she knows that she should go to the police. With her final exam pending for nursing degree, exhaustion, and shock, Chryssie wants to wait to go to the police. As she goes on the run, Chryssie isn't sure who to trust anymore. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through Net Gallery. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. The suspense in this book is almost non-stop action. There is also a powerful Christian message. Cryssie is a strong, resourceful character who learns to trust in God. This is the first book that I read by this author and it won't be the last. I didn't want to put this book down.

I enjoyed this book very much......it was different than most of my reads. The story took some different turns but I really liked how our main character kept referring to the caterpillar stage she was in and could not wait to get her wings

I received this copy from Penguin Publishing in exchange for my honest review. I loved the main character Chryssie and her entire story line. After witnessing a murder she has to choose between going straight to the police or putting off finishing her dreams to deal with the nightmare she’s witnessed. She’s worked hard and struggled to get where she is - the choices she makes will change her life. I enjoyed this book with all its suspense and would it to anyone that loves a thriller!
