REVIEW: Mountainside Murder by Nicole Helm

Mountainside Murder by Nicole Helm is the third book in her North Star series. This is a thrill ride of a suspense story, It’s nonstop action.

Sabrina Killian is a North Star agent. She is definitely qualified for the job. Sabrina was almost the first female Navy SEAL. She suffered a career ending injury so that was the end of that dream. North Star was a good substitute though. She got to do a lot of good. Plus North Star led her to Connor Lindstrom. Her assignment was to locate an assassin somewhere near Wilson, Wyoming, probably in the mountains. Sabrina starts hiking up the mountain and encounters a SAR (Search and Rescue) mission taking place. Connor Lindstrom and his partner are doing the mission. Sabrina is sure the guy being rescued is the assassin. She is pretending to be a police officer so she instructs the SAR team to turn over the rescued victim to her. Connor calls her out as fake. While Sabrina and Connor are arguing about turning the guy over the rescued man disappears. Obviously the guy was faking and he is indeed the assassin. Now to complete her mission and catch him.

Connor Lindstrom is an ex-Navy SEAL. He was dishonorably discharged but the charges were bogus. As it turns out Connor is pleased he was let go since he prefers being part of Search and Rescue. But his past is about to rear its ugly head as it appears he is the target of an assassin. Working with North Star agent Sabrina Killian turns out to be a life-changer. Connor is falling for Sabrina and he knows he will do anything to keep her safe.

Add in a hot romance and you have a page-turner story. I really liked the main characters and totally enjoyed the dialogue as they snarked at each other and fought their attraction. It was great getting to catch up with other North Star characters from the earlier books in the series. This is a great series.
