Life Flight is one of my favorite types of book – a stunning start to a whole new series by one of my goto authors. And this doozy does not disappoint.

Penny Carlton is an EMS helicopter pilot and fully used to landing in tricky circumstances. But when she’s forced to make a rough landing on the top of a mountain in the middle of a raging storm, things couldn’t get much worse. Except, well, there’s the patient who isn’t going to make it unless she gets to hospital very quickly, and an escape serial killer somewhere in the area.

What follows is a whirlwind of intrigue as the killer sets his sights on Penny. FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield is determined to recapture the killer who almost cost him his life, and protect Penny in the process. However, he quickly learns Penny can take care of herself as she saves his life. But will they both survive as the man closes in, manipulating events to lure Penny into a trap she can’t escape?

I really enjoyed Life Flight. Penny is a great heroine, capable and strong, yet human and compassionate at the same time. Holt has a stunning work ethic and great capacity for caretaking without smothering. As the two draw closer, despite their lives being on the line, a beautiful friendship turns to more.

With some brilliant plot twists and extremely tight writing, this isn’t one to miss.
