Is Lainie going crazy？ Is Adam dead or alive？ I was hooked on the mystery aspect of the story but it took me a while to connect with the characters。 At first there seemed to be so many friends introduced I struggled with who was who。 However I didn't let this bother me as I was invested in the mystery and trying to figure out who was after Laine and why。 I was suspicious of so many people and rarely was I correct。 I was shocked when the main reveal happened。 Some of the side characters really in Is Lainie going crazy？ Is Adam dead or alive？ I was hooked on the mystery aspect of the story but it took me a while to connect with the characters。 At first there seemed to be so many friends introduced I struggled with who was who。 However I didn't let this bother me as I was invested in the mystery and trying to figure out who was after Laine and why。 I was suspicious of so many people and rarely was I correct。 I was shocked when the main reveal happened。 Some of the side characters really interested me and I can't wait to see if we get to know them in more in books to come。 I do wish faith had been discussed a bit more between the characters， it was very lightly mentioned。 （I voluntary reviewed a complimentary copy of this book。） 。。。more

I received this book as an ARC with no expectation of a positive review。 Double Take is the beginning of a new series for Ms。 Eason。 This is a story of Lanine who survived an attempted murder attack on her。 She ended up killing him to save herself。 Yet， eighteen months later， she is being gaslighted into questioning if he is really dead as attempts on her life start。 This story will keep you on the edge of your seat as well as keep you guessing until the end。 It is a must read。

Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army。 His career in the Army Criminal Investigation Division is over due to wounds he sustained in an IED attack。 He’s now working for the Lake City Police Department and rooming with his friend and partner， Cole， until he can solve his complicated family dynamics。 Lainie Jackson is a physician assistant who survived an attack eighteen months ago。 Her ex tried to kill her after she ended it with him but Lainie managed to grab the gun a Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army。 His career in the Army Criminal Investigation Division is over due to wounds he sustained in an IED attack。 He’s now working for the Lake City Police Department and rooming with his friend and partner， Cole， until he can solve his complicated family dynamics。 Lainie Jackson is a physician assistant who survived an attack eighteen months ago。 Her ex tried to kill her after she ended it with him but Lainie managed to grab the gun and shoot him first。 Now， it seems he’s come back to finish the job but Lainie knows he’s dead so is the imposter stalking her？ Lainie and James team up to find out who the man is and why he’s after Lainie。 A high stakes thriller meets a puzzling mystery in this romantic suspense book。 A heart pounding story from the first page， the hits just keep on coming。 Lainie knows her ex is dead， she shot him。 Yet， she can’t explain how all the evidence leads them back to his being alive。 In a dangerous game of cat and mouse Lainie is stalked and terrorized。 This psychological thriller had me questioning everything。 Action scenes， shoot outs， close calls， and unexplainable events lead James and Lainie down a rabbit hole of investigative avenues while they fight to stay alive。 Their faith keeps them going， and a close proximity clean romance blooms but no one is safe until the mystery man is caught。 Just when I started to put the pieces together the author throws a few curve balls into the mix。 A solid mystery that will keep you on your toes and leave you fulfilled by the ending。 。。。more

Amazing read！ I was on the seat of my chair the whole time！ I didn’t see who ‘he’ was until it was revealed in the story！ Amazing work！Lainie and James had an amazing connection throughout the book。 Their open and honest relationship kept me feeling the realness of their relationship。

Double Take yanks the reader into hair-raising plot twists from page one！ I’m pretty good at figuring out where story lines are going， but this one was a string of surprises。 The plot had a scary true-crime flavor with an appealing friends-to-more romance。 My husband works at a hospital， so I loved that the protagonist was a PA and gave us a glimpse of behind-the-scenes workplace drama and a realistic medical setting。 I also liked that the book didn’t shy away from intense and gritty scenarios。 Double Take yanks the reader into hair-raising plot twists from page one！ I’m pretty good at figuring out where story lines are going， but this one was a string of surprises。 The plot had a scary true-crime flavor with an appealing friends-to-more romance。 My husband works at a hospital， so I loved that the protagonist was a PA and gave us a glimpse of behind-the-scenes workplace drama and a realistic medical setting。 I also liked that the book didn’t shy away from intense and gritty scenarios。 Definitely one of my favorite suspense books ever。 I received this book from the publisher and was not required to leave a review。 The honest opinion is my own。 。。。more

Lynette Eason knows how to craft romantic suspense。 The story starts out with a bang and keeps up the intensity and fast pace until the very end。 James and Lainie are super cute together and I quite enjoyed the big brother of best friend trope。 Both James and Lainie have dealt with major trauma in the past and this commonality brings them together， among many other things。 I liked the villain's voice that pops up in the storyline， which added a different dimension to the plot。 The thread of true Lynette Eason knows how to craft romantic suspense。 The story starts out with a bang and keeps up the intensity and fast pace until the very end。 James and Lainie are super cute together and I quite enjoyed the big brother of best friend trope。 Both James and Lainie have dealt with major trauma in the past and this commonality brings them together， among many other things。 I liked the villain's voice that pops up in the storyline， which added a different dimension to the plot。 The thread of true forgiveness and unconditional love weaves throughout the interactions James and Lainie have with their respective families。 The adrenaline-filled race to find the dangerous stalker had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading。 I loved the secondary characters and am totally invested in finding out what happens between Cole and Kenzie in the next book。I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Revell and was under no obligation to post a positive comment。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
