Thicker Than Blood is the first book in the series by the same name written by C.J. Darlington.

Readers meet the main character in this story, Christy Williams. She’s thrilled by the fact that her life is finally starting to come together. She’s worked hard to get over the past and try to start up her career working as a book buyer of antique books. The last thing that she ever sees coming is all of it falling apart.

Christy is shocked when it is discovered that a first-edition Hemingway novel is in her possession. It’s incredibly valuable and of course, it’s stolen. The only thing is that she knows for a fact that she didn’t take it, which means she’s being set up. Someone wants to frame her for what she guesses is some sort of revenge. Why else would they target her specifically?

It’s going to be easier to prove that she didn’t do it than to try and convince the authorities that she is somehow innocent. That’s what every criminal tends to say when they’re caught. Christy knows that it isn’t a good option for her to start trying to trust the police to believe her innocence.

The worst part is that she has no one on her side that she can turn to for support. Christy wishes that May, her younger sister, would be around so that she could talk to her about what’s going on. She abandoned May after their parents died early and their relationship has been severely estranged ever since. Christy is on the run from all her dreams that broke apart, a former boyfriend, and her connection with God.

Christy really needs someplace safe to stay, but could the Triple Cross Ranch that her sister lives in be that safe place? The two haven’t spoken for so long. Can the two sisters figure out what the other has that makes their relationship so special before the opportunity to connect passes them by? Check out this novel and read to the end to find out!
