Lights Out

Natalie Walters

MY REVIEW

This was a terrific international spy type story. I love the characters, and I always enjoy when the team is kind of like a family. The witty banter and fun scenes always pull me in as a reader. Each character has their strange and fun quirks giving the book a bit of levity during the intense suspense.

This had a nice faith theme as well. It worked well in the story and was a natural part of the novel. If you like romantic suspense, then this book gives that to you plenty to make you happy. I kinda felt like a bit of the romance took away from the pace of the suspense. Some of the scenes were meant to portray the importance of balance and trusting that God ultimately was in control. I really liked that about this read. That is a rare thing to find in a suspense read.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was my first by this author…I plan on getting my hands on more!

The Chase

By Lisa Harris

MY REVIEW

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were very well done, the storyline engaging, the setting was great, and the faith theme was very well intricately woven as a natural part of the storyline. I really like friends to lover stories as they seem so much more natural.

The pace was good and well laid out. I had not read the previous book, but I hope to do so. I was able to read this one just fine as a stand alone novel. I really enjoy this authors books! There is a lot of action and fast paced scenes. If you enjoy suspense or mystery that are clean reads, you definitely do not want to miss this one.

Cold Case Trail

By Sharee Stover

MY REVIEW

This was a terrific read! As always, this author engages the reader in the plot of the story and the wonderful characters. This story has a bonus in the side kick being a dog. 

I learned many things I did not know about K 9 units that was quite fascinating. I will not share that here…read the book! I read it in one sitting. It is one of those books that the pace keeps moving and I just did not want to put it down. 

The plot was a good one, the characters wonderful ( my favorite obviously being the dog), and the mystery/suspense was intriguing. Another terrific story from this author!

Power Play

By Rachel Dylan

MY REVIEW

This is the final book in the Capital Intrigue series. I enjoyed this book. The reader follows a main character and a secondary character. I enjoyed both stories. The characters in this series were really good. This was a good conclusion to the group of friends and their different jobs.

The plot and storyline were definitely engaging, the characters were great, and the action in the story really keeps the reader engaged. 

I also enjoyed the faith theme that was done so well in the story. It was an intricate part of the story well woven into the plot. Rachel Dylan has become a must read author for me in the mystery/suspense category. 

This series was incredibly well written so do yourself a favor and get your hands on all three!

Unknown Threat

By Lynn H. Blackburn

MY REVIEW

This was a terrific suspense read! The storyline itself is an adrenaline rush. It never slows down and has action from start to finish. The scenes of suspense keep the reader on the edge of his seat for the entire journey of the novel. In most suspense reads the storyline is the main thing that keeps the reader engaged.

In this book, I really enjoyed the characters as well. They are created so well, and they each have their quirks that make them endearing to the reader. The romance is minimal and fairly well done.I prefer little romance in my suspense reads. The characters feel like real people and their development is terrific. I enjoyed the secondary characters as well.

The faith theme is evident in this novel and well done. This is always important in a Christian Fiction book in my opinion.

A wonderful suspense novel that is not at all realistic, but much suspense and well done characters.

This book was given to me by the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Network of Deceit

Tom Threadgill

Another terrific suspense novel from Tom Threadgill. I really enjoyed the first in this series…the second was not a letdown. This is definitely an author I want to follow. Pretty much everything comes to a nice close with plenty of surprises for a mystery lover like myself.

The characters are interesting, and I really enjoyed them and their quirks. Many times in a suspense read it’s just the story that keeps the reader turning the pages. Not true with this author. Both the intriguing characters and the suspense kept me in the book. Lots of twists and turns keep coming in this one.

My only complaint is that I’d like to see a stronger faith theme. Other than that, this is a story with wonderful build, terrific storyline, interesting characters, and I really loved the last sentence!

Untraceable Evidence

By Sharee Stover


I really enjoyed this suspense read. The two main characters are terrific. You don’t have a typical hero in Ace, but he is definitely a likable one! Randee is a terrific character as well, and it was interesting seeing her trying to be undercover. I really enjoyed the secondary characters in this book as well.

The plot was a terrific one. I found it especially interesting since I’m fascinated by 3-D printers. The storyline was done well, and it was a good pace.

This book pulled the reader in by quirky and fun characters as well as a good plot. The suspense is very well done with a good ending. This book also had a faith theme-something I always look for in my Christian Fiction reads.

Recommend this read for any suspense fans!

Flight Risk

By Cara Putman

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. This author has proven herself tremendously in this genre. The idea of the book is all about getting at the truth. That is definitely ripped from the headlines these days. It’s so hard to find truth amongst the lies. The plot was a fascinating one…one that kept the reader guessing as to where exactly the truth was.

I liked the characters as well. Savannah has a complicated life, but she tries to be there for her niece despite her incredibly busy schedule. She was easy to like, had far more patience than I would with many things, and was a mostly believable character.

Jett was like able, but a bit too stiff. I think by the end of the novel the reader knows him.The only real characteristic that sticks out is that he wants to print the truth and only the truth. That’s a terrific goal, but not everything is always as it seems. His character fell a bit flat for me as a hero, but I am positive many readers will not feel that way.

It does have a faith theme in the book…and of course, the entire book is about truth.

This book moves at a good pace, and I enjoyed it. I’m not much into the sex trafficking subject as it’s a difficult one.However, it is definitely current, and one that is a real problem. The book held my attention, and I eagerly await this authors next read.

The Traitor’s Pawn

By Lisa Harris


MY THOUGHTS


A good suspense read with a believable plot line, interesting story,and terrific characters.
It also had a rather emotional surprise towards the end that I didn’t expect to happen.

I really liked the main character in this story, Aubrey. She wasn’t an emotional type, was incredibly analytical when thinking through the case before her, and she wanted serious relationships only. I could really relate to her and how she looked at the world. Her viewpoint was relatable and the reader could really build empathy for her.

Jack grows on the reader. I didn’t fall in love with him right at the beginning, but he proves himself as the plot moves along. He gives a lot of good, Biblical advice to Aubrey. 

The faith theme in this book mostly comes from discussions between the two main characters. I really like spiritual dialogue in my reads. It tends to provoke more thought than other ways a faith theme is introduced. It isn’t an incredibly strong faith theme, but the elements of hope and forgiveness is there. God and his power over all things is brought into the picture as is stories from the Bible. I always like it when an author can put a good faith theme in a fairly fast moving suspense read.

I actually hate to admit it, but I think this is my first read by Lisa Harris. I certainly don’t plan on it being my last. This had a good pace to it, believable storyline, loved the characters, and a faith theme. I enjoyed and recommend this read.

The House at the End of the Moor

By Michelle Griep


MY THOUGHTS

Another fantastic novel by this author! 

I really enjoyed this book…one of the best parts is that it is so different from the other reads I’ve had of late. The suspense and mystery is well done with several twists and turns. The plot and storyline keep the reader turning the pages.

I also really liked the characters. Part of it is light hearted and funny…the Michelle Griep that you see in Out of the Frying Pan comes out in this read to make some wonderfully fun moments. There is also a lot of sadness and reality in this read as well. The characters aren’t perfect…but so perfectly written.

This book also puts forth a strong and wonderful faith message which is lacking in much of Christian Fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed it in this read, and it is well woven into the storyline and characters.

This is a terrific story…one which has a spot on my forever shelves!
