The Chase by The Black Rose is an intriguing novel based on FBI agent Ives Andrich. Ives is happily married to Allina, a renowned writer. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to see Ives happy as Allina’s life has been threatened by one of the men on the FBI’s most wanted list - Jeff Shepherd. This man is bent on harming Allina, and Ives tries earnestly to track him down with assistance from his team. Shepherd is way too unpredictable, especially where his bomb attacks are concerned. The team virtually races against time to ascertain Shepherd’s next move. In an unguarded moment, Shepherd captures Allina and takes her hostage. Allina tried to appeal to Shepherd’s humane side with a view to escaping from him. Ives was able to find her location, however, at the last minute it appeared as though Allina jumped to her death...
The Chase is literally a chase to the finish. The Black Rose did an excellent job in engaging the reader in this intense plot. Despite the length of the novel, you feel as though you are watching a movie whilst reading. I was totally engrossed in the storyline, wondering what would happen next. The theme of good vs evil is evident throughout the story. I love the fact that the author chose to display the Christian faith via the interchange of the main characters. This is a brave tactic and blends in perfectly with the overall theme. I enjoyed reading about the enduring love between the main characters. Even though they are married, it is touching to see the devotion they have for each other. This encourages us to keep our relationships fresh by showing constant appreciation for our loved ones. The language used is semi-formal and is quite easy to understand. I definitely recommend The Chase to all readers who love suspense novels.
