Hello, fellow readers! I’m thrilled to tell you about a new book just released from Lisa Harris. I enjoyed reading it.
In today’s world, law enforcement agencies across the country rely on forensic tools, DNA testing, and crime labs. But what if that technology was suddenly no longer available? No one in the small, west Texas town of Shadow Ridge knows what took down the power grid, or when it’s going to be back up, but everyone knows exactly where they were the moment it went down. And now, with no electricity, no internet, and no modern technology, the men and women responsible for keeping the town safe are going to have to learn how to fight crime all over again.

What would you miss most if the grid went down? While not as essential as toilet paper or air-conditioning during a Texas summer, I think the McQuaid heroines from this series would love a bit of self-care—and so would I. – Author Lisa Harris

Jace McQuaid is suddenly thrown into a situation he never anticipated or wanted. He must protect the residents of a small Texas town after a catastrophic event takes down the grid, leaving them isolated and vulnerable. He’d only come for a family celebration. Now, he’s trapped.
This story portrays an all-too-real scenario that I wonder if we all don’t worry about on some level. It could happen, and that’s what drew me into this dystopian story. I found myself asking what I’d do if or ‘when’ this occurs.
Jace was a character I immediately connected with. He comes home to Shadow Ridge to escape his past, but he has secrets that torment him. Most of all, he is burdened with a sense of duty. Because of his intensive military training, he is the only logical choice to step into his father’s shoes as sheriff and protect the small Texas town.
But as will inevitably happen, there is a group of people with evil intent who want the life-saving supplies Shadow Ridge has. When dead bodies start to turn up, Jace’s job is suddenly more pressing. Without modern technology that is normally used to gather and process crime evidence, he’s left to primitive ways of solving the murders.
Morgan Addison is a young widow raising a young son. She is a strong woman, and I relate to her character. While she is grieving the loss of her husband, she is faced with rescuing her son from a highly dangerous situation. She doesn’t back down, and she doesn’t crumple under the weight. She fights a growing attraction to Jace. After all, her husband hasn’t been gone all that long, and Jace makes it clear when this catastrophe is over, he does not intend to stay in Shadow Ridge.
Yet, neither she nor Jace can deny the feelings that develop between them. Events unfold that bring them closer together. But each has their reasons for not wanting to admit to their attraction.
The author did a good job of unfolding the story in layers. I rooted for the people of this tiny community. I wanted them to survive and for the evildoers to be caught. And while there was a bit too much preachy religion included in the story for my taste, I still enjoyed the plot and storyline in this well-written book. I round up to 4 stars for the purpose of rating. If you love stories with strong characters, strong faith, and lots of conflicts, this would be a book you would enjoy.
