Natalie Sinclair is working to eradicate the diseases decimating whole villages in the Republic of Dhambizao when she meets Dr. Chad Talcott, a surgeon on sabbatical from a lucrative medical practice now volunteering at a small clinic. Meanwhile, things are unraveling in Dhambizao. Joseph Komboli returns to his village to discover rebel soldiers abducting his family and friends. Those that were too old or weak to work lay motionless in the African soil. When Chad and Natalie decide to help Joseph expose this modern-day slave trade—and a high-ranking political figure involved in it—disaster nips at their heels. Where is God in the chaos? Will Chad, Natalie, and Joseph win their race against time? Romance and adventure drive Blood Ransom, by Lisa Harris, a powerful thriller about the modern-day slave trade and those who dare to challenge it.

My Impressions:
From the opening page, Blood Ransom by Lisa Harris delivers page-turning, edge-of-the-seat suspense. And the wild ride doesn’t slow, allowing for a thrilling reading experience. Natalie Sinclair and Chad Talcott are both in the fictional African country to help the people. When confronted with proof of rumored Ghost Soldiers, they are determined to bring the evidence to the attention of those in authority. But the government is corrupt and it is hard to know just who you can trust.
If you like suspense with a touch of the exotic, pick up Blood Ransom. And though this story comes to a conclusion there is more at stake for the country in the sequel Blood Covenant. I am looking forward to seeing what Harris has in store for some of the characters introduced in book 1.
Highly Recommended.
