It’s a must read!

I could not put this book down! It was the perfect blend of romance, suspense, and action that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! By the end of the book I felt as if I had known the characters in real life and was truly sad to finish!
It was very well written, had great character development, and the author’s descriptions really helped paint a picture of the scenes in my mind.
I give In the Blink of an Eye two thumbs up! 👍🏼👍🏼
