WHOA! This story is fantastic!!! I’ve never read a novel by Susan Sleeman before; that is changing immediately. I enjoyed so much about Night Fall I don’t adequately know where to begin. First, the suspense is intense. I think around the 50-60% mark I looked at my husband and said, “I have no idea who the bad guy is!” I hate suspense/mystery novels that are easy to figure out. That is not the case with Night Fall. I was edge-of-my-seat the entire time and genuinely kept guessing right up to near the end. Second, the cast of characters is really awesome. I love each Byrd brother and cannot wait to read their subsequent storylines as they release. The best part of this family is how loyal they are to one another. Some of us in real life could only be so lucky to have a family like the Byrd’s. Finally, I really loved the chemistry between Aiden and Harper. It’s electric the entire time, and I found that this crazy electrical force between them really added to the intensity of the novel. I’ve seen some reviewers say they don’t like that it is instantaneous attraction, but I never have issue with that. When you know, you know. Some people are just magnetically drawn to one another and that is the case between Aiden and Harper. Personally, I feel Sleeman did an excellent job pacing their romance.
Of the many topics discussed in this awesome story what stood out to me the most is Aiden’s restraint. My nickname from my family and friends is the “Italian Tornado.” I am a passionate woman. Sometimes that passion is outstanding. It’s what makes me (hopefully) a good teacher, a good mom and wife, and a good follower of Jesus Christ. However, my passion can often get the better of me. I truly could never be in law enforcement because I would be the “shoot first, ask questions later” kind of cop. I don’t mean to be like this, and I am totally working on it every day, but that is who I am. It’s kind of like my brain short circuits a bit and my actions take over. Aiden’s job is insanely intense and his focus is noticeably superior. What I like about him the most is that he stops and considers outcomes BEFORE he reacts. There’s this one moment in the story where Harper’s life is on the line (It’s on the line the entire time so I don’t consider this a spoiler. LOL!). He mentions to himself how he just wants to storm the front and get her to safety BUT he doesn’t do that. Instead, he stops, weighs the outcomes of all his options, forms a workable plan, and then kicks butt. The writing in this novel is so good I could feel his restraint and I thought to myself, “Man, I need to be more like Aiden. Life would work out so much better if I followed his tactics.” How cool is that?! I learned emotional and mental control strategies from a fictional character. LOL! But seriously, it’s a really exciting moment in the plot, and also an excellent teachable moment for the reader.
If you can’t tell by now, I HIGHLY recommend Night Fall. This book is so much fun, it’s so engaging, and it’s the best kind of literary escape. If you are a fan of well-written Christian Suspense and Romance stories then Night Fall is definitely the book for you!

Awesome Start to New Series by Sleeman!
'Aiden dropped his finger to the trigger.'Susan Sleeman, my go-to author for inspirational romantic suspense, has started a great new series with Night Fall. Nighthawk Security promises to be a super suspenseful series. Populated by the five Byrd brothers,, all former military or law enforcement, they have now formed a security investigative agency.Sleeman is great at what she does and totally holds your interest all the way through, with surprises that will keep you guessing till the very end. Since Nighthawk Security is housed in the same building as the Veritas Agency, we get to see old friends from the previous two series, too! I loved seeing those folks again and also some from Blackwell Tactical. I am looking forward to the rest in this series. Recommended.*My thanks to the publisher and author for a copy of this book. I received no compensation and the opinions in this review are entirely my own.5 likes
