Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Abby Miller is determined to find her missing FBI informant father before the mafia does, but time is ticking away. Someone tried to kill her father before he disappeared—and now gunmen are on her trail. Teaming with Agent Wyatt Kane is her only chance to uncover an FBI mole—and survive the mob.


My Review:
Tracked Through the Woods is a Christian romantic suspense. I liked that both Wyatt and Abby had good aim. Wyatt didn't want to kill the assassins because he wanted to know who sent them, but he very sensibly shot to stop the threat rather than to spare his conscience if they died. He regretted killing another human without casting himself as the bad guy for defending himself and Abby. I liked how the author portrayed this dynamic.

Someone in the FBI has been leaking information to mafia bosses, and mafia assassins are trying to kill Abby's father because he came forward to inform on them. Since the mafia has corrupted law enforcement officers, who can they trust? Some of the suspense came from Abby's urgency to find her father as she thinks he may have been found during their last phone call. Most of the suspense was because those assassins were also targeting her and eventually Wyatt as well. Abby and Wyatt generally worked well together and were willing to take advice from each other. They were attracted to each other, quickly became friends, and soon were kissing during down times. Wyatt supported Abby's dreams for her danger-free future.

Abby had stopped praying while on the run, but Wyatt's prayer over their meals lead to her starting to pray for God's protection and help again. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense.
