Lynn Blackburn’s Unknown Threat is a fantastic read. I could not put the book down, and I don’t think you’ll be able to either!
First the photo and verse. There is an interesting story with it. Back in 2017, I went on a cruise with the agency that represents me. One of the places we toured was the Botanical Park in George Town. We took a taxi to the park and spent an enjoyable two hours walking and viewing all the beautiful flowers. When we finished, we caught a bus and it took the long way around the island. The bus driver decided to give us a tour and stopped at several places and explained the historical significance of the stop. I thought it was really neat that he gave us opportunities to take photos and this is one of them.
Now, Lynn Blackburn’s Unknown Threat. Here’s the cover and back copy:
US Secret Service Special Agent Luke Powell is lucky to be alive. Three of his fellow agents have died in unusual circumstances in the past ten weeks. Luke is devastated by the loss of his friends and colleagues, and his inability to locate the killer feels like a personal failure. He’s an expert at shielding others, but now the protectors are in need of protection.
FBI Special Agent Faith Malone is driven to succeed and confident in her ability to solve every case she’s assigned. She’s put in charge of the investigation, and with Luke’s life in danger, the stakes have never been higher. But it’s hard to know how to fight back when you don’t know who the enemy is.
Luke and Faith work together to bring a killer to justice and prevent any more names from joining their fallen brothers and sisters on the Secret Service Wall of Honor.
Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn pulls out all the stops in this brand-new romantic suspense series that will have you holding your breath one minute and swooning the next.
My take on Lynn H. Blackburn’s Unknown Threat:
Lynn H. Blackburn knows how to keep a reader turning pages. And she knows how to create characters that feel like family. I especially fell in love with Luke Powell. He has personal stakes–it’s his friends and colleagues who are being killed. And it all started with his mentor, Thad.
The FBI agent in charge of Thad’s murder case let her bias interfere with finding his killer. This puts high stakes on Faith to fix her failure and solve the new murders. She.Cannot.Fail. Or make mistakes. That’s her mantra, but she isn’t God and solving this case helps her to come to terms with it being okay to sometimes make mistakes.
The romance is sweet, but doesn’t get in the way of the action. This is book one and any of the characters in the book will be great protagonists for the next book. This is a book that fans of Lynette Eason will enjoy!

Sounds like a great book! My kind of fiction!
Author
Gail, I literally had to make myself put the book down to get some sleep. lol. So glad you stopped by!
What good timing, Pat. I just finished Lynn’s book. It was so good, I didn’t want it to end. The sparks and sparing between Faith and Luke were fun to watch. I agree, all the team characters need to have their own stories told.
Mistakes are one of main ways we learn. We can’t be afraid to make them. Yes, there are definitely degrees of mistakes, and some mistakes can be fatal, if not life changing. The really bad ones are better avoided, and we need to observe and learn from the mistakes of others, and take good advice to avoid them as well. But, God often turns our mistakes into undeserved blessings.
Finally, your photo is beautiful, and the verse well chosen to match it. Thanks for providing those for us.
Author
If only we would learn from others’ mistakes, Tim. Unfortunately, it seems we have to do it the hard way. 🙂 So glad you stopped by!
Absolutely beautiful photo and verse. The upside to making a mistake is learning from it so as not to repeat it. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed weekend.
Author
Absolutely, Lucy! Unfortunately, I know people who never learn from their mistakes, so they keep making the same ones over and over. Glad you stopped by and joined in on the discussion!
Hi Patricia, love the picture, the story and the scripture! The upside to a mistake is that you could learn a new and better way to do something. Thanks!
I realized I accidentally sent my comment before I filled in all of the information

So agree, MJ! I’ve learned so much from my mistakes. And I try not to make the same ones. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Looks like a good book… I have never read Lynn’s books before, will have to look for them! Thanks for the beautiful picture and for having this giveaway!
Author
Oh, Angela, you are in for a treat! Lynn is a great writer. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful picture! I think an upside to making a mistake is that it grows you as a person, hopefully anyway.
Author
Hi Megan! Yes, it does help us to grow as a person when we learn from our mistakes. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Love the picture and scripture.
I look forward to reading this book.
Author
Thank you, Kay! And thanks for catching my error. 😉 (talk about learning from our mistakes. lol) It’s a good book!
I enjoy reading Lynn’s books so know this one will be good. Thanks for the chance to win!
Author
I love Lynn’s books, too, Faith. Looking forward to the others in the series!
Unknown Threat is another winner by Lynn Blackburn. Loved it and all of her books! The picture and scripture are very nice. I remember from the study, Experiencing God, the statement that we are who we are because of where we have been, including our mistakes. That has stuck with me over the years. I need to pull that workbook out and read it again.
Author
Gloria, you are so right–I had forgotten that about Experience God. I need to pull the workbook out, too. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Sounds good. I love law enforcement reads of any kind. Thanks for the chance.
Author
Lynn, you will love this book! So glad you stopped by.
This book sounds like a Great read! Mistakes have taught me a lot of things, and mistakes are alright to make and I think we make mistakes so that we can learn from them and we learn to not make that mistake again, as long as we learn from our mistakes, I think they are a lesson taught. Have a Great weekend and stay safe.
Author
Thanks, Alicia! I agree we need to learn from our mistakes. Hope you have a great weekend, too!
Patricia! Thank you SO much! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed Unknown Threat!! 🙂
Author
You are welcome, Lynn! I can’t wait for the next book!! Thanks so much for stopping by.
sounds like a book I won’t start just before bedtime!
Author
Probably a good idea, MS Barb, especially since I stayed up until 2 one night and 1 the next to finish it! So glad you stopped by!
I love the photo and verse! It sounds like you all had a special trip.
Unknown Threat is an outstanding book. Lynn definitely keeps the attention of the reader.
I believe that making mistakes helps us to, hopefully, learn something. I say hopefully because sometimes it takes making a mistake more than once for the lesson to click for us. I think it also helps us to understand that we’re not perfect and never will be.
Author
Terri, I’ve learned that if we don’t learn the lesson God is trying to teach us, He’ll bring it around again…until we do. 🙂 Always good to see you here!
Wow, Patricia—you are a talented photographer in addition to being a great writer!
Unknown Threat will be a great page-turner of a read. Thank you for the review and recommendations.
Author
Roxanne, I love taking pictures–I don’t plan any of the shots, only capture them when they present themselves. 🙂 Of course, I’ve been known to get up before daylight to capture the sunrise…or drive several miles because there’s a place that offers a great veiew of the setting sun. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by, and yes, Unknown Threat is a page-turner!
The upside to mistakes is that we can learn from them. Some of my best lessons have been from making mistakes. I know that may sound funny, but it’s true 🙂
I really want to read “Unknown Threat”! It sounds like a great suspense story.
Author
I agree, Trixi! In fact I’ve learned quite a bit by my mistakes. 🙂 thanks for stopping by. Unknown Threat is great!
I have a theory that you can’t go wrong with Lynn Blackburn suspense novel! I love the cover and the premise of the plot line.
Author
Your theory is correct, Perrianne! She is a great writer!! Thanks for stopping by.
Lynn, this book sounds great! Patricia, upside to a mistake is if you learn from it ,so as not to do it again.
Author
Absolutely, Shelia! And it’s a great book. So glad you stopped by!!
Gorgeous photo, and I love that verse of Scripture!
I think I may have shared how my wife and I got together as teenagers. It was a mistake on my part. I mistakenly thought one of my friends had a crush on this pretty young gal with whom he had been sitting in church. So I jumped ahead of him one Sunday to sit down beside her before he could. It turned out that she had a crush on me and I was quickly smitten by her. We still sit together in church. As Tim said in his comment: “But, God often turns our mistakes into undeserved blessings.” That was certainly true for me.
Author
Love your story, Edward, and I thought I’d answered you, but somehow it didn’t post. And yes, God does often turn our mistakes into undeserved blessings! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I received Unknown Threat last Saturday and have been enjoying it a lot!
Author
I really enjoyed it, Melissa! Thanks so much for dropping by!
I really like the photo. It sounds like a really interesting book. Hopefully, by learning from our mistakes we learn not to repeat them.
Author
I’m glad you enjoyed the photo, Diana! And I wish everyone could learn from their mistakes, but that doesn’t always happen. So glad you stopped by!
The upside of making a mistake, of course, is learning from it so you will not make it again and also teach others to avoid it. Only if they care to learn, of course.
I love Lynn’s writing and am looking forward to this one!
Author
Teaching others is Biblical, Valita. That’s what David says in Psalms 51. And I’m really looking forward to Lynn’s next book!
