Review:
Dark Storm by Karen Harper is a slow burn romantic suspense novel. The characters are quickly introduced and they spring into action. The immediate threat escalates as I dug deeper into the book. The beginning of the plot felt slow. The middle and ending were faster. A family torn apart by betrayal and secrets soon learns a hidden truth. Sisters who fight for each other are separated after one of them has been kidnapped. Plans for torturing the captured sister are in the making. However, the bad guys underestimate the depth in which this family fights for each other and to what lengths they will go. Overall, I loved the sibling bond, the motherhood dilemmas, and the romance between the couples. This was a great read.
