A CRY IN THE DARK by Jenna Mills

Danielle, the youngest of the Caldwell triplets is devastated over the loss of her lover.  Unsure of her future, riding the waves of pain, Danielle is equally horrified when every parent’s worse fear becomes real to her with one phone call and the four words, “I have your son.”

Desperate to get her son, Alex home safely, she follows the caller’s rules and doesn't contact the police. Danielle has gypsy blood running through her veins and has had insight into future events.  Reluctant to ever use her intuition again after the tragedy of the last time, Danielle has to determine whether to use her psychic intuitions or facts to find her son.  When FBI agent, Liam Brooks comes knocking on her door, offering his help, Danielle isn't sure she should trust him.

FBI Agent, Liam Brooks found Danielle during an investigation where her name came up. Certain he knows who has her son; Liam is determined to help her. The man Liam suspects of having her son is a man he has vowed to bring to justice.  But Danielle claims she doesn't need his help and it takes a lot of knocking on the walls around Danielle to get her to let him in and to earn her trust.

Liam and Danielle ban together to find Alex bring a dangerous man to justice and uncover secrets of the past that are shocking...

Jenna Mills' A Cry in the Dark, I feel is her best story yet.  As a long time fan of Mills, I say this with conviction after reading every one of her previous stories.  Liam and Danielle are the strength of this story and Ms. Mills' writing is insurmountable. The passion of the story, the intrigue and questions needing answered hood the reader and the fast pace keeps one glued to the pages.  Liam and Danielle are different, yet similar characters.  Each feels the desperate loneliness and misguidance in their souls.  These realistic emotions are felt by the reader and weave their way into their hearts.  The lurking questions, the curiosity, the Family Secrets all hold the reader spellbound.

Jenna Mills’ claims book one of Family Secrets: The Next Generation and sets the stage for a powerful series. Ms. Mills' writing will be a hard act to follow. A Cry in the Dark blew me away from start to finish.  Unbelievable and stunning!
