Angel Fire

A road trip to the New Mexico mountains turns into something far more dangerous when Dallas detectives Tori Hunter and Sam Kennedy cross paths with FBI agents Cameron Ross and Andrea Sullivan. Ross is hunting a former Special-Ops colleague gone rogue, a killer with a hostage and nothing left to lose. The remote high-desert terrain cuts off easy backup, forcing an uneasy alliance between women from different worlds who have no particular reason to trust each other. Hill builds the tension steadily, balancing the thriller plot with the chemistry between characters fans of both her Hunter's Way and Devil's Rock series will recognize.

Abby Craden is a natural fit for this material, bringing distinct vocal textures to a cast of strong, capable women without leaning on caricature. Her pacing suits the story's rhythm: measured during the character-driven moments, taut when the manhunt tightens. At under six hours, the listen moves efficiently, and Craden keeps the ensemble readable even as alliances shift and stakes escalate. Fans new to either series will find the crossover accessible; longtime readers will find it rewarding.
