I have enjoyed reading this series of Amish novels set in Kentucky. Her Fear is definitely my favorite of the series so far!
The author did a very good job of creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in the house that Sadie was living in. As I read the story, I could feel the fears that Sadie had as they weighed her down.
The thread of suspense in this novel, the tense living situation that Sadie was in, the knowledge that Sadie was pregnant out of wedlock, and the Amish EMT made for a very good story which also had a really enjoyable romantic thread running through it. I’m really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
In New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray’s latest novel of suspense in her Amish of Hart County series, an EMT falls for a woman with ties to an Amish community where people are dying similar, suspicious deaths
Sadie Detweiler never imagined she’d move to Kentucky, yet here she is: a pregnant, unmarried Amish girl banished by unforgiving parents to live with kin she barely knows. The men are gruff and her cousins are secretive. Worst of all, elderly matriarch Verba becomes mysteriously ill shortly after Sadie moves in. When EMT Noah Freeman arrives, Sadie immediately notices he’s unlike any other Amish man she’s met. Noah is warm, confident, and has an easy way with practically everyone in the community, both Amish and English. Though Sadie is drawn to him, she has little hope he will reciprocate her feelings once he learns she’s with child.
Noah can’t understand how a girl as sweet and lovely as Sadie ended up sleeping on a cot in Verba Stauffer’s kitchen. He also senses Sadie is terrified of something. Concerned, he checks up on her. Eventually they strike up a friendship and soon their attraction is undeniable. When Verba later dies at the hospital and her death is followed by two others, Noah’s boss wants him to dig around the Amish community for clues. He agrees—for Sadie’s sake—because only the truth will keep her safe and by his side.
