Cora's father dreamed of teaching her to fly. She took flying lessons and her father taught her to fly a passenger jet in a simulator. But ultimately she wanted to become a nurse and now works in a busy Seattle ER. Her husband died over a year ago in a helicopter crash while doing humanitarian work in Hawaii, and since his death she has been afraid to get on a plane. She's second guessed her decision so many times, afraid to leave her young children orphaned. But there is a ceremony in Hawaii celebrating her husband's work and she is requested to receive his award. She boards Pacific Air Flight 385, flying first class, sitting next to a handsome stranger, Kyle Adams, who, as a homicide detective, is a last minute addition to the flight to follow a lead in a case. But halfway through the flight, the plane is hijacked and six people are dead including the pilots. With no way to know how many hijackers there are, everyone becomes suspect and Cora has to attempt to save herself and the 154 other souls on the flight with only the help of a nearby pilot to coach her.
This book had plenty of action in it to keep me hooked, I felt like the romantic element between Cora and Kyle wasn't really necessary. But the story didn't really spend much focus on the attraction, so it didn't distract from the hijacking plot that much. I love the way that Alanna got revenge in the end and got her own happily ever after.
I received a complimentary advance reader copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
