Caitllyn, the youngest.of the 7 foster children beaten on their knees with a switch by their foster father, "The Preacher," for from between 2 years (Caitlyn) to 5+ for the rest. and promised hell for their sins, is featured in this last book of the series.
Hailey was our first introduction. When the eldest, Jayme, had made sure they were all awake & escaped, Hailey had taken the younger Darby with her and protected her as they lived rough in the mountains, then on the streets. When a huge argument occurred between Darby and Hailey about Darby's drug dealer boyfriend, Aaron, it was just before Hailey was arrested for stealing - to try and feed them. When Hailey refused the offer of her freedom in exchange for sexual favors for the arresting officer, with the threat of prosecution as an adult for refusing, she still refused. She told her public defender, who called it a hearsay situation, thus inadmissible, but she was at least tried as a juvenile. When she got out, Darby was nowhere to be found. Since the 7 ran from the foster system, none had paperwork and so had to save to pay for fake IDs. All 7 kids hate enclosed spaces, having been made to live in the cellar of their foster parents' cabin, and Hailey loves to hike and work outdoors with the animals on the hobby farm. But on one hike, someone shoots at her twice. Park ranger Rock goes to find her to see if she is dead or alive, & when she comes out of hiding, her assailant takes a potshot at both of them. Then he trashes her small trailer, and while she is working with a busload of kids on a field trip to the farm, her tires are slashed badly. The assailant seems unwilling to stop until she is dead, and Rock is collateral damage.
Then we meet Sawyer. Left to his own devices when the other 2 boys, Cooper & Trent, leave him because he is "too bossy," when he is caught stealing to eat, his arresting officer takes him home, makes sure he finishes school, gets his paperwork, is fed and clothed, and asks only that Sawyer pay it forward. He soon gets his chance when a young, disheveled, bruised, scratched young woman in torn clothes flags him down on the highway in the wee hours, claiming she was run off the road and kidnapped, managing to get away when her assailants slowed to turn onto a dirt road by using her gymnastics skills to kick them & roll out of the car, tearing down into the forest. Being in much better shape than her would-be captors, she was able to elude them. She had followed a boxy white van from the next state over, one like the one in which her sister was last seen. As they press for nore information, use a sketch artist to get a likeness of the assailant she could see best, they both discover themselves targeted by the likely human traffickers.
Next, we meet Cooper. He and Trent had lived together until Trent took off for Nashville with a band that was trying to make it big. Cooper makes a living, barely, by sketching tourists. He has seen a lovely young woman enter the church near where he sets up his sketching stand, and is waiting for her to exit the church to get one last look before he completes his drawing of her. Cooper has become a fair hand at street fighting, so when he sees first one, then another, black clad assailant try to grab her, he holds them off and gets her away. But Mia is in deeper trouble than he could imagine, and her cover in witness protection is blown...now, those coming for her are coming for him for daring to interfere. Will they both end up in WITSEC? And how many more will the organized crime family responsible kill before they're caught amd charges stick?
We move next to Trent, the musician. He has been livong a bit of the high life in Nashville until recently, and is an alcoholic- this changes when his pounding head and full bladder wake him up, only to find out the band leader is dead when he nearky falls over the body & sees the empty stare of his friend. He goes solo, gets sober, and plays in mostly dive bars, earning barely enough to get by. He noticed that a blonde, not a groupie type, is at 4 of his performances in a row, but misses the more important thing - a dangeous man who attacks him as he exists the stage at the 4th bar the blonde has come to. Serena, the blonde PI, as he later learns, helps scare off the attacker. Hired by the bandleader's dad to find out how his son really died, her nosing about has made the perpetrators sure Trent has seen something that will incriminate the killer. And so, Serena and Trent find themselves on the run, but trying to get some credibility with the cops is tough for a PI even with shots fired at them on the freeway after a Titans football game.
Darby indeed did get in with the wrong man. Aaron became physically abusive and Gage, another dealer, was interested in her and not abusive,.so after 2 years, she moves in with Gage. Then Darby discovers she is pregnant and is arrested on the same day. She rolls on Aaron, Gage, and their boss Tyrone to get rehab instead of jail time. Her withdrawal from painkillers is rough, but she knows her baby deserves a better mom. Darby meets a grandmotherly volunteer at the halfway house and they click, adopting each other. Edith, a widow, has lost her daughter to an OD. She is there for Leo's birth, and watches over him when Darby has to work. She has been sober 6 years when 2, to her, horrific, things haopen in one day. First, she is working the ziplines at the adventure park and has just gotten done explaining how it is done, and says she will zipline over to the opposite platform to catch the tourists...except the cable comes loose. Darby manages to twist herself and spreadeagle to hit the top of a tree, but the branches soon start to snap as she awaits the firetruck's cherrypicker to rescue her. Shortly afterwards, their boss is asking how it happened - both had insoected the equipment together and neither had noticed anything odd. Then, Gage - now out of jail 2 years, gainfully employed, 3 months from the end of his probation, has come to see her and tell her prison was the best thing that ever happened to him as he found Jesus there. Shaken, Darby wants to blow him off, and has no intention of letting him know Leo is his son. He asks for a half hour, to which she assents just long enough for him to say his piece - but she still ends up ditching him after 2o min. Gage persists, though...and pretty soon. Darby and Gage are drawing fire to keep Edith and Leo safe. But an ex con's and a recovering addict's word hold little weight with the police. Fortunately, there are a few decent cops and the others soon learn that those who were once involved in crime actually have a pretty good feel for who is after them and what they're most likely to do next...and which cops are likely dirty.
Just before this book, we had Jayme's story, which tells how the fire that allowed them to escape from "The Preacher" started, brings together all the little things each kid did to try and escape, and has a foreshadowing that tells you who the guilty party most likely is, but not how his erratic pattern will work out or what his ultinate aim is. As arson investigator Linc does what he can to protect Jayme and Caitlyn, but will they discover the truth before it is too late and the creep gets to Jayme and possibly Caitlyn?
Of course, since Caitlyn has her own story, we know she wasn't harmed by Jayme's attacker. A retired PT who frequented the low paying cafe where Jayme worked had offered them free room in exchange for housecleaning. laundry, and some cooking, and when he died, had left them $10K that his rich heir begrudged them. They had to move, but the money went to pay for Jayme to become a PT tech, for a down payment on a small house, and now Caitlyn has graduated as a veterinary tech, proving big sister Jayme could squeeze a buck until it squeeked. Caitlyn and her friend and roommate Annette are both animal lovers who will spare no effort or expense when it comes to furry friends. Coming home from a dud of a date at a tavern, around midnight, she sees a white kitten streak across the road in front of her, blood on its coat. She pulls over and goes looking for it, enticing it with the warmth of her scarf, when she hears a woman scream. Hoping she can distract the man whom she heard slapping the one who screamed, she wraps up the kitten and holds it close, following the sound. But by the time she gets there, it is too late; the murderer has squeezed the last bit of life out of the woman. Caitlyn makes tracks for her car, driving away as fast as she can, when a man who had been in the tavern, whom she had noticed because she was bored and "people watching," steps out to a truck parked on the roadside. They see and recognize each other. Shaken to the core, she calls Devon, the cop Linc had hired to protect her and Annette when Jayme was being targeted by the fire
bug. He agrees to meet her at her apartment. She cleans the kitten's wounds, makes a makeshift litter box, feeds the kitten, and tells Devon what happened. They go back out, the kitten with them, to at least protect the body from predators - but even though Caitlyn, like all the fosters, has good tracking skills, and finds the site of the murder, there is no body. Obviously. after seeing and recognizing Caitlyn, the murderer had retrieved the body and buried it. Caitlyn and Devon are troubled that this killer knows where they are most of the time, even sending Devon an email to his police email address. The computer techs try their best to capture his location and are close twice, once too late & once in the wrong location. Can they escape him? And how does he cover his tracks so well? Is he military or ex-military? A cop or former cop? Maybe he has both military and police experience? A criminal?
This one has a real surprise at the end, in who the perpetrator is. I kept wanting to scream, "She SAW the guy, so did the bartender at the tavern, get them together with a police sketch artist" - but by the time they arranged it, it was too late.
All of the fosters have come out of their experiences with survival skills for the wild and the streets...with a hatred for "the Preacher's" god, whom they discover is not the REAL God.
Each tale had a different type of situation, crime, a perpetrator with a different reason for targeting the protagonist of each story, and all stories had their own types of suspense and romance as well. I believe no one would be disappointed in reading the entire series.

If you've read the previous books, you'll want to read this one. I really only have two complaints about the final book in the series. First, it was too short. It didn't have to be a lot longer, but I feel like Caitlyn deserves her own full-length novel as much as the other characters, and hers was about half to two-thirds the length of the other novels.
Second, I wanted the other foster siblings to play more of a role in this book. She mentions Jayme several times, but she doesn't talk much about the others. Now that they've reunited, I expected them to play more of a part in the story. While staying at Jayme's place is mentioned and shot down quickly as a possibility, there's no mention of seeking help from her other foster siblings or letting them know what's going on. Even if they decide not to seek their help and to leave them in the dark, I felt like they should have at least considered the possibility, especially since many of them live nearby and have police connections.
This book doesn't make the bad guy clear from the beginning. I will say, though, that I realized who it was a little before the person's identity was revealed (as in probably half a chapter earlier). When the bad guy is discovered, the pieces fall into place easily, making it believable that this person could have committed the murder and then proceeded to try to kill off Caitlyn and Devon as well.
As is the case with all the books in this series, there is no swearing, graphic violence, or sexual content. Caitlyn's story touches briefly on the abuse she suffered as a child, and she does witness a murder. Overall, this book doesn't hit on as many difficult or sensitive topics as some of the previous books.

Light on Christmas but full of action and suspense. Loved the gripping opening scene that sets the stage for this seventh and final book in the Smoky Mountains series. I haven't read the entire series, just #1,2 and 4 and, while I enjoyed this story, I feel like it reads almost like a continuation of the sixth book so I'd recommend reading Jayme's Journey before this one. And maybe the first book which explains the character backgrounds for this series - a group of foster siblings who escaped an abusive placement and find each other in adulthood.

Short but packed
This book jerked me into a setting of which I knew nothing, since it is book 7 of Smoky Mountain Secrets. All the action is packed into a 36 hour time frame, and at only 113 pages, it was tightly packed. Caitlyn and Devon have been standoffish, but he is the person she calls when she witnesses a murder while rescuing a cat. The cat will play a major part in apprehending the murderer.

Caitlyn witnesses a murder. As a veterinarian assistant she rescues a small white kitten. A page turning suspense with intriguing characters, fast moving action, and didn't see the ending coming. New author and enjoyed this holiday stand alone in the series. So Suspense readers grab a hot chocolate and snuggly in a blanket, keep the lights on and read.

The Smoky Mountain Secrets was series. Every foster child felt he or she had been the reason the Preacher and his wife died. Laura does a wonderful job of letting the reader know that God is about love. Enjoyed reading how each hero finds their perfect love. Will be looking for more of Laura Scott's book to read.

Good, Short Suspense Romance
This clean, inspirational novella moved along smoothly. The author kept the tension up pretty well and the characters were interesting. I didn't really want to put the book down. If you're looking for something short, clean, inspirational, and suspenseful, this book might be a good choice.

This was the final book in this series. An excellent read, just like the others. I do wish, however, this book would have included more about the foster siblings, to wrap up their entire story. I feel like it left me hanging.
November 24, 2025
This book is one Marsha picked out for Book Club and it was a perfect length and story for this month! It is one in a long series, but I could totally enjoy the story without reading all the others before it.

4 stelle e mezza
Racconto lungo che finisce degnamente una serie che ho apprezzato. Avevo capito abbastanza presto chi fosse il colpevole, sebbene non avessi il movente.

Seems all the fosters had danger in their lives as adults. Caitlin became a victim purely by accident. A must read.

Caitlyn’s Blessing
The book could have been longer, but was a very good read. Need a better end chapter for a conclusion of their life together.
