The first book of the year is complete!! I really enjoyed this book.

It starts out with Kate walking into a Negotiation with a man who has taken a bank employee and customers hostage. In this situation she meets Dave who is a hidden hostage and also an FBI agent. After the situation is resolved with Dave's help they strike up a friendship. Well the mystery of the bank hostage situation develops when a plane is bombed and it seems Kate is in the middle of the mystery. Dave is right at her side as a friendship develops. Kate is also an orphan and has formed a "family" with several other orphans who we all meet in this book - they take the last name O'Malley and are very protective of each other.

Kate is a very likable character and I want to read more about the O'Malley's. Luckily this is the first book in the series and there is a prequel about Dave and his sister Sara, who the book mentions was stalked and Dave protects her. So I am interested to read that book too. Dee Henderson has made some very likable characters and I am sure each one can carry a book of their own. There are 5 more books in the series plus the prequel!

This book satisfies 3 of my challenge books:
