Deadly Revenge

By Patricia Bradley

MY REVIEW

A fast paced suspense and mystery read that has nice characters, lots of action, and a romance that rings a bit more real since they had met before this book starts.

I like strong faith themes so I would have liked a stronger one in this read. It is hard to fit a good one into a fast paced suspense, though, so I usually understand if it isn’t as strong as other genres. There is dealing with PTSD and anxiety in this one which some people really like to see. This book did a good job of presenting that well.

I had most of this figured out before the end. It doesn’t exactly all wrap up with a neat little bow when the mystery is closed, but that is life so not all of what we want to know is always known. The author does a good job of giving the reader enough information to decide for himself what probably happened with the few loose ends.

The suspense keeps the reader engaged throughout the story, and the author does a good job of slowly revealing things to the reader. I’ve been a fan of Patricia Bradley for some time, and this book doesn’t disappoint.

MY REVIEW

I was so glad to get this book and review it! Patricia Bradley always writes such good books, and this one doesn’t waver from being well written.

From the start it was a little bit slow, but once you get to know the story a little bit better, you understand why it started that way. The characters were well written. Liked Alexis story and how the romance between her and Nathan was slow and built up.
One of my favorite parts of the story was of Alexis and her grandparents. A sweet relationship to which I can relate.
The suspense was very well done, except for the fact that I knew who it was before about 50 pages in. (Maybe that’s just because I read mystery a lot, but it didn’t take me long to figure it out.) I kept on reading to follow the main characters story, and why and how the person did the deed.
The faith theme was there, but a bit lacking in depth. This book, since it moved slower than some suspense novels, could have had a better one, in my opinion.
I really enjoyed the nice easy read, as I always do of Patricia Bradley!

Deception
By Patricia Bradley

MY REVIEW

An incredibly fast paced suspense read. There is a lot going on in this novel-many paths to follow and many surprises.

The main characters, Madison and Clayton, are both well done. I liked both the main characters which is not always true. There are far too many surprises waiting for these two it is rather unbelievable that they are all contained in one novel. Both characters are like-able and good at their jobs.

Some inspirational elements in this book. Trust being a huge one for the female lead character as well as giving a second chance. This book really helped open my eyes to the struggles of an addict. I had never seen it so well written. I know several, and I think this fiction more than any other read presents the addiction as just a way of life. The way it is done it helped me to understand better how difficult it is to leave the addiction behind. Certain scenes in this book still come to mind as I am writing this. It was incredibly well done. The faith theme is an intricate part of the story.

The author keeps the reader on the edge of the seat for this one. There are so many twists and turns. It is a well done mystery/suspense read that just might keep the reader awake far past a persons bedtime. Well worth it, too.

MY REVIEW

Really enjoyed this novel. It was one of those that I had a hard time putting down. The characters were well done. In this series, the females were the main characters. There was good secondary characters in this one as well. The fact that the characters knew each other previously was something I really liked. It gave their relationship more depth than what usually occurs in a book.

The plot is interesting…and has several side trails throughout the storyline. The mystery holds some surprises even for the best reader sleuths. It also gives the viewpoint of one off the bad guys which makes the story intriguing.

There is a faith theme in the book, but not an overt one. That’s what I prefer in a book, but this was an incredibly fast paced book so the author did a good job with the faith theme as the book flies.

I somehow missed the middle book in this series, but each book stands well on its own. I hope to get the middle book as well.

Nicely paced, fast moving thrill ride with a back drop of faith and wonderful characters.
