Justice with a vengeanceSydney Rye is missing.All that’s left of her is a depression in the dirt and a pool of blood. Robert Maxim is ruthless, powerful, and determined to find her. April Madden is a preacher’s wife, and Sydney’s mother. She’s willing to risk everything…her sobriety, her marriage, even her faith, to hunt for her daughter. But they can’t find Sydney Rye if she doesn’t want to be … daughter.
But they can’t find Sydney Rye if she doesn’t want to be found.
ISIS has a new enemy, a ghost haunting their territory, infecting their flock with radical ideals. They will do anything to capture her. Their reign depends on this new prophet’s destruction.
Graffiti of a woman’s silhouette, set in a snarling wolf’s profile, appears in ISIS-controlled territory convincing Robert Maxim that Sydney Rye is alive. When women in the area begin attacking their abusers, he suspects Sydney is responsible. But Robert can’t believe she is involved after rumors claim a prophet, a weapon of God, has risen to free women from oppression.
April Madden hears the devil whispering to her; just one little cocktail to dull the pain. Instead of picking up a glass, she throws herself into a quest; track down her missing daughter, her only surviving child, and make amends. Traveling into the Islamic State is fraught with danger and thick with obstacles. April doesn’t have her daughter’s combat training or Blue, Sydney’s loyal, giant dog. But she does have her instincts, tenacity and the voice that whispers; your daughter is alive, don’t give up.

The Sydney Rye series has been downloaded over a million times. Recommended for adults who love brave female protagonists, dogs, and action packed series that you can’t put down until you’ve read them all. If you have trouble with the f-bomb, violence or sex (not graphic but out of wedlock).. then you shouldn’t start this series….it’s just not your thing.

Some of the previous books were better.
I had a hard time putting it down.
I love anything with animals.
I wanted to know more about the main character Sydney Rye. Compelling read but definitely left you hanging on details.
A good entertaining read
It left me wanting to read more.
Not as good as the earlier books.
This is not a stand-alone book. I was too disappointed in this book to even think about trying to read the others in the series.
I love this series!!
Kept me on my toes wondering what was happening!
I found the characters as individuals to be fairly one-dimensional but the collective plot and circumstances were engrossing and maintained my interest to the end. A really exciting read!
I ordered the second book in this series as I enjoyed the one so much
Liked it, but disappointed how it ended
The premise implied in the blurb intrigued me, but I felt totally lost the further I got into the book. It’s like walking into a play after the first act and missing all the connections. To grasp the depth of the characters and their motivations, I think you would need to go read the first few books in this series, then reread this book. I forget the genre/category this was listed under, but it felt like an espionage thriller with strong magic realism elements. Very original.
Sorry–couldn’t get into this one
I have read many of the Sydney Rye books and generally enjoy them. This one was no exception though I felt disconnected a bit as it started from a spot where you had to know (and remember) the story line that came before. It is less of a stand-alone book. Reader beware – there is little action that actually involves Sydney.
I had a little trouble with so many different characters. Other than that I enjoyed it
I enjoyed other books by this author.
Held your attention. Interesting story line.
confusing compared to other books by author
great book save to read again list
