Vigilant | Book Review + Giveaway

ABOUT THE BOOK


She must choose between the man who represents the law and the one who may have taken it into his own hands.

Neglected by her parents for most of her life, Nicole Hunter keeps everyone, especially men, at arms’ length. So when Attorney Gage Kelly walks into the diner where she is waiting tables one evening, she fights her attraction to him with everything she has.

Gage and his brother Holden grew up in an abusive home, and Gage has baggage of his own. But the connection between him and Nicole is too strong to ignore, and Gage manages to convince them both that their relationship is worth the risk.

Then children begin disappearing in the night.

When Detective Daniel Grey starts to close in on the child snatcher, and enlists Nicole’s help, she faces her deepest fear. Everything and everyone she has clung to so tightly could be ripped from her, leaving her completely alone.

Except for one.

MY REVIEW

Intriguing and thought-provoking, Sara Davison’s Vigilant grapples with child abuse and abduction. As the characters search for answers, I got lost in the suspense of it, wondering which suspect held the responsibility.

However, while I enjoyed the overall storyline, I couldn’t get on board with the love triangle. I’m not a fan of the trope—but I have read books where I don’t mind it. In Vigilant, neither Nicole Hunter’s relationship with Gage Kelly nor the one with Daniel Grey feels developed enough to warrant the conflicting emotions. And as Nicole makes some questionable decisions, I just couldn’t root for her with these romances.

Still, I enjoyed Vigilant enough that now, I’m curious to see where the Night Guardians series goes next.


I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
