Like Flames in the Night by Connilyn Cossette

Book Description
Strong-willed Tirzah wants to join her people in driving the enemy from the land of Israel and undergoes training for a secret mission inside the stronghold of Shechem. But soon after she has infiltrated the ruthless Aramean commander's kitchen, she makes a reckless decision that puts her and her allies in grave danger.

Fresh off the battlefield, Liyam returns home to discover his beloved daughter is dead. After his vow to hunt down her killer leads to months of fruitless pursuit, his last hope is in a family connection that comes with strings attached. Strings that force him to pose as a mercenary and rescue an infuriating woman who refuses to leave her mission uncompleted.

When an opportunity to pave a path to a Hebrew victory arises, can Tirzah convince Liyam to fight alongside her in the refuge city of her birth? Or will Liyam's thirst for vengeance outweigh his duty to his people, his God, and the woman he's come to love?

My Review
This was another wonderful book by Connilyn Cossette. And it would probably be safe to say this is my new favorite book in the "Cities of Refuge" series! The characters were wonderfully done and easy to connect with. Really drawing me into the story and making the book very enjoyable. The plot had a lot of amazing twists and turns to keep you coming back for more. The details and setting were also nicely done and felt very real. And even though this book was a work of fiction, it was interesting to see how the story brought up a real point in history. I highly recommend this book, and all of the others in the "Cities of Refuge" series! 


I received this book free through NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
