Happy Tuesday! I am officially in read-whatever-strikes-my-fancy mode until the end of the year. Almost 3 weeks of pleasure reading! I plan to catch up on the old TBR (you’ll see a lot of romantic suspense represented). So with that in mind, my Winter TBR list includes a bunch of oldies and some book club books.
Oh my golly! D. L. Wood is going to be a participant at the Turning A New Page Book Festival in January 2025! I will definitely be fangirling when it comes to this mystery/suspense author. Unintended Target has made her an auto-read writer. Find out about this book, the author, and my thoughts below.
Her twin brother is dead. Now they’re coming for her.
Travel photojournalist Chloe McConnaughey knew that her brother—a brilliant programmer—would compromise anything to get ahead. She just didn’t know that included her.
When he dies unexpectedly, Chloe copes by taking an assignment in the Caribbean where she meets Jack, a charming Manhattan escapee who almost has her believing life could turn around. But the illusion is shattered when a series of bizarre incidents leaves them framed for murder and running from killers convinced Chloe is the key to getting what they want.
Suddenly Jack’s timely entrance seems more than coincidental, but with nowhere else to turn, Chloe must trust this man who is not only charming, but also dangerous, and much better at evading capture than he should be.Hunted from the tiny island of St. Gideon all the way to Miami, Chloe desperately searches for evidence to prove her innocence and eliminate her as a target of the shadowy conspiracy that will stop at nothing to make its problems go away. Will she expose the truth in time, or will her brother’s betrayal ultimately cost Chloe her life?
This series is can’t-put-it-down suspense that’ll keep you up to the wee hours. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

My Impressions:
If you need a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled suspense novel to rev up your reading time, then Unintended Target is for you! Author D. L. Wood puts her characters through the wringer as they dodge bullets and evade hitmen as they try to figure out just what is going on. I loved that along with main characters Chloe and Jack, I was kept on my toes. I never knew who to trust — the twists just keep coming. Chloe’s twin brother had high hopes of scoring a big deal to give him and Chloe the lives he dreamed of. Unfortunately, the scheme turned into a BIG nightmare for Chloe. I really felt for her. Betrayal seems to dog her heels, and saying she has trust issues is an understatement. But Jack gives her reason to hope that the God he believes can be depended on in all situations really exists. And remember those twists, they show up to the very end. 😉 Chloe and Jack have two more books in the Unintended series. I cannot wait to dig in.
You have it all in Unintended Target — characters with great chemistry, a mystery/suspense to keep you guessing, and a genuine faith message. You’ve go to read this one!
Recommended.
Audience: Adults.

“He’s done it again,” groaned Chloe McConnaughey, her cell held to her ear by her shoulder as she pulled one final pair of shorts out of her dresser.
