Not only a solid love story but also a very intense suspense book! Ashley is undercover and in trouble right from the first page. Kellie keeps you wrapped up in the story watching as Ashley’s memories come back while simultaneously coming to terms with her brother’s death and God’s saving grace. Loved it!
The danger is as big as the whole outdoors…
OK, I’ll admit it. As much as I liked the characters, it was the Big Bend National Park, Texas, that really stole the show for me. Santa Elena Canyon etc. is probably one of the most interesting and unique places that I’ve read about in a Love Inspired Suspense novel. Kellie VanHorn does an excellent job describing the sights, sounds, and smells of the dramatic location leaving readers feeling like they’ve been there. While she does take some license with trails and other spots you can almost feel the heat…and the danger…
Fatal Flashback is the perfect title for for this little tale of romantic suspense. What Ashley can’t remember is dangerous, but what she does remember is even more lethal. And, of course, Logan isn’t sure who he can trust anymore. Fatal Flashback has lots of thrills and, despite the Texas heat, chills in store for readers. So, go ahead and check out Kellie VanHorn’s debut with Love Inspired Suspense.

Kellie Vanhorn really ramps up the tension in this with an amnesia angle! Undercover FBI agent Ashley Thompson was attacked and left for dead, forgetting who she is. Big Bend Park Ranger Logan Everett discovers her on his patrol rounds and from there there the story really takes off. Drug cartels, alleged hidden gold mines, and a suspicious death, all culminate into a fantastic suspense story by a new-to-me writer!
I really loved the different vibe of this story, it kept me turning pages to see what happens next. There were quite a few tense moments to keep my heart rate up, gasping from surprise and running alongside Logan and Ashley. These two characters really worked well together and I loved how their personalities meshed. The ending was tense, and just what I love to round off a good suspense book. I never guessed who the mole was!
A definite five star rating from me!
“Grief is a terrible unavoidable part of this life. But it doesn’t change the fact that God loves us, so much He was willing to die for us. God wants us to trust Him. And to let Him comfort us.”

Fatal Flashback by Kellie Vanhorn is one of my favorite LIS books, ever! I felt like I was reading a movie! The cover really sets the feel for this story, which takes place in Texas in Big Bend National Park. I loved the setting because it was so different! I have never read a book that takes place in this vast and beautifully dangerous area.
I liked Logan the second he appeared in this story. He’s kind, caring, loyal, and believes in doing the right thing. Ashley, who is undercover and has amnesia, was also a character that I really liked. I usually do not care that much for amnesia stories, but the way this was written was perfect! I really liked all the action in this story. It was so well done and believable and it was perfectly paced.
I am really looking forward to Kellie Vanhorn’s next story!
