Blog Tour and Giveaway: Hidden Danger (Discipleship Series Book 1) by Gail Pallotta


About the Book



Book: Hidden Danger (Discipleship Series Book 1)

Author: Gail Pallotta

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Release date: August 21, 2024

After Emily Hanover’s left standing at the altar in Blue Mountain, North Carolina, she goes to Sky High Campground to put her life back together. Because it’s February and few people come here this time of year, she’s alone on the premises. When noises in the middle of the night frighten her, she gathers her courage and peeks outside. A man carrying a body over his shoulder emerges from the dark shadows onto her front yard. Horrified, she collapses onto the floor.

The next morning, she visits ex-military officer turned security guard, Nick Lancaster. He listens intently to Emily, but dismisses her claim of foul play as a hunter carrying a deer. Finally, after he sees a freshly dug hole in Emily’s yard and finds two more in the woods, he agrees—there’s suspicious activity. Then he and Emily embark on a mission exposing murder and a far-reaching sinister plot, neither suspecting danger can bring romance.

More from Gail

The story behind Hidden Danger started with my love of mysteries and suspense, which began many years ago when I discovered Nancy Drew. Then I wanted to become a detective. That didn’t happen, but I turned my heroine, Emily Hanover, and the hero, Nick Lancaster, into amateur sleuths.

The granddaughter of a minister who planted churches in the far reaches of the Western North Carolina Mountains, I grew up at the foothills of them. As I pondered the setting for a good mystery, the area with lots of underbrush and caves offered opportunities for suspenseful scenes.

Emily works as a newspaper reporter, a job similar to one I had in a public relations department under a retired Associated Press guy. My husband was in the military. After all these years of marriage, I’m familiar with that type of personality, so Nick is an ex-military guy turned security guard.

Emily goes to the campground to find peace and comfort after she was left standing at the altar  on her wedding day. To say she has a chip on her shoulder over men is an understatement. The only true love Nick ever had died while he was overseas. Guilt because he couldn’t be by her side plagues him. He believes he’ll never love another.

Emily meets Nick because her first night at the campground, she sees a man carrying a dead body. Or, does she? Thus, a mystery in the Western North Carolina Mountains begins.

My Review

Hidden Danger begins the new Gail Pallotta Discipleship series. I have enjoyed her previous books and this one is no different. I thought it was a great suspense filled novel. I was instantly hooked with Emily and Nick's story. I thought they made a great team while investigating the mystery and finding out who done it before it was too late. The twists and turns made me continue turning the pages until the end.

I am going to give Hidden Danger five stars. I have no doubt that fans of clean Christian Romantic Suspense will not want to miss out on it. I am looking forward to the next installment from the Discipleship series to see where Gail Pallotta takes her characters to next. 

I received a copy of Gail Pallotta's Hidden Danger from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

  1. Thank you for having me on your blog and for your kind words. Thanks also for mentioning book two. The second book in the Discipleship Series will introduce Moose and Ruthie, who have quite an adventure in the North Carolina Mountains. In the book, two people have lost their way, one has lost his purpose and one has lost his soul.
