Not This Time is the first book I've read by Vicki Hinze, and I'm glad to have discovered her work. This is the third book in a series, and I felt a little lost in the early pages because I had not read the first two books. But once I got into this thriller, the plot and the pace were more than enough to keep me interested in the story.
Beth and Sara are friends -- in fact, they look at themselves as sisters -- who run a very successful software business together. They find themselves and many of their friends involved in a frightening terrorist situation, which leaves them not knowing who or what to trust. Sara's husband, a man Beth has had serious misgivings about since he appeared on the scene, has disappeared, and no one is really sure whether he is a victim or a member of the organization bringing terror to the village. Beth is determined not to put her heart at risk (after having it broken before) but finds herself falling for a member of the special ops forces who is involved in trying to get to the bottom of the dangerous situation.
Not This Time is an action-packed page turner that I didn't want to put down until I finished the book. From the very first page, there is mystery and intrigue that quickly draws you into the story. I would recommend, though, that you read Forget Me Not and Deadly Ties first. I now have both those books on order so I can learn the whole story.
You can read the first chapter here.
