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!

End Game

by Rachel Dylan

MY THOUGHTS


This book is quite a ride so hang on to your seat!

It’s got a great plot that keeps the reader engaged to the last page. There are a lot of characters in this book, but the author did a great job of giving just enough suspense to be engaged…but not so much that you end up totally lost at the end. Yes, that has happened before. The never ending twists and turns are fascinating, and they also make sense. The plot seems a plausible one.

The characters are relatable and well developed. They don’t get lost in the suspense and drama of the read. I really loved that about this book. The romance was there, but well done not overdone.

I really enjoyed this book by Rachel Dylan. She has become an author I want to follow and must read. If you love mystery and suspense grab a copy of End Game…grab the book and take the ride!

Collateral Damage

by Lynette Eason

BOOK BLURB

Honorably discharged from the Army after an explosion nearly killed her, former military psychiatrist Brooke Adams has set up shop to help others–but her days of helping military personnel are over. She’s got her own battles to fight from her time overseas, and she’s not equipped to take on more. Former Army Special Ops Sergeant First Class Asher James could handle anything that war sent his way–terrorists, bombs, bullets. The only thing that scares him now is sleep. As the shadows close in, the nightmares begin.

Finally convinced that he needs help, Asher makes an appointment with a counselor, and Brooke is pressed by her boss to take him on. When he arrives at her office she isn’t there–but a dead body is. Brooke is devastated when she walks in, and Asher is a conveniently strong shoulder to cry on. But she can’t take him on as a client after sharing such an intimate and unprofessional moment, can she? And he’s not sure he can handle sharing his deepest fears with such a beautiful woman.

When it becomes clear that Brooke was the real target of the attack–and that her secrets go even deeper than his own–Asher vows to protect her no matter what.

Bestselling author Lynette Eason is back with a new series that spans the globe and will have your heart working overtime.

MY THOUGHTS

An intense fast paced read through most of the pages, lots occurs from Afghanistan to Tajikistan to the US. The suspense is held well through most of the book. Everyone from cops, to military, to eventually the FBI is involved in this one.

The characters are quite well done, and I really liked the main characters in this book. Though at times they seemed to act out of character, especially Brooke. They were military, though, so that isn’t perhaps unusual. The plot itself didn’t seem very realistic, and that was really the only negative to the fast paced romantic suspense. For me, the romance wasn’t too much so the ratio that is so frequently discussed about romantic suspense-well, this was just about as perfect as you can get for me.

I really liked how the author wove the faith thread into the book. In a fast paced suspense read that isn’t always easy. It was incredibly well done.

This was a great read that I would definitely recommend to all the suspense fans out there.
