Fatal Exchange is book two in the Southern Crimes series. I had not read book one, but had no trouble following along for book two. Being from the south and having traveled to Atlanta several times, I could picture some of the places mentioned in the book. This helped me to put some things in

This is a book that you should read when you have time to continue reading because having to come to stopping places was difficult as I kept wanting to know where the story was going next.I received this book free to review.

For romantic suspense, one of my go-to authors is Lisa Harris. The second book in her Southern Crimes series, Fatal Exchange, is just another of example of why she is one of my favorites. Fast-paced with a twisting plot, it also has a great romantic element combined with a strong faith message. A
Emily Hunt is a teacher among a family of police officers. She has never wanted the high pressure job that requires courage. But when faced with a student with a gun in her classroom, Emily is called upon to draw from her experience and her faith. Mason Taylor had been a family friend of the Hunts until Michael Hunt was murdered and Mason was tied to his death. Exonerated by the police force, Mason, an undercover officer, longs to put things right with Emily’s family. The standoff at Emily’s school, puts Mason in the middle of the action and in the line of fire.
Fatal Exchange has it all — great characters you come to care about, a fast-moving plot with twists you never see coming, a believable romantic thread and a message of forgiveness and trust. The characters rely heavily on God, even when they have doubts and fears. The novel makes it plain that though we live in a sin-filled, fallen world, God’s grace is abundant. Drug trafficking, cartels and dirty cops are the elements of the very believable plot line. I liked book 1 in the series, Dangerous Passage, but I really liked Fatal Exchange. And while it can be read as a standalone, I would recommend the reader start with book 1. There is a mystery running through the two books that does not get solved. But from the last paragraph of Fatal Exchange, it looks like the reader will finally have answsers in book 3. If you are a fan of Terri Blackstock or Diann Mills, be sure to check this one out. You will not be disappointed.
Recommended.

Fatal Exchange by Lisa Harris
4 stars
Lisa Hunt, sister of Avery and a teacher who has no desire for danger of any kind, is caught up in one life-threatening situation after another the day one of her prize students takes her class hostage with her niece, Tess, Avery's daughter. She has to try to
This is the second installment of the Southern Crimes Fiction, and I am basing my rating on the fact that for a genre novel, it's well done, and I do end up caring about the characters even though I'm not one for romance novels or romantic suspense (but romance movies, absolutely, and also sometimes romantic suspense movies). I have even put a hold on the third and latest installment of these for more bedtime reading. It is definitely Christian and not just "she said a prayer", so if you cannot abide that, stay away, but I don't find it cheesy.

Lisa Harris delivers a detective mystery/suspense woven with a little bit of romance in a way that is easy to read. This book was enjoyable to read and the characters are well developed and likable. This is the second in the series but is written in such a way that you do not have to have a lot of
Emily is the daughter of a cop and the sister of a cop who's death is still unsolved. She is satisfied in her quiet life - outside of the whole cop scene. But she finds herself in the middle of an investigation with the very cop who may have had something to do with the death of her brother. And so the story begins - high school teacher turned detective (unofficially) - as she works to unravel a mysterious disappearance of one of her student's brothers. This book is certainly a page turner and filled with many twists and turns.
This was my first read by this author and I was not disappointed. Thanks to Revell for this review copy.

I'm not remotely religious so this was never going to be a total win for me. But I read a bit of everything and if it sounds good I'm willing to give it a shot. That being said I do usually find Christian fiction a little preachy - it's just so wholesome - but then it's also precisely what you
I enjoyed this one more than the first one in this series. Emily and Mason were more appealing characters and I was more interested in Rafael and what happens. The hunt for the department mole continues in this one as well and I'll be reading the next one to discover the whole mystery.
