Double Take

by Lynette Eason

MY REVIEW

I thoroughly enjoyed this book with all its twists and turns.


The two main characters are fantastic. I really liked James and Lainie. I liked how their relationship grew and that they had known each other so long. The faith theme was quite good throughout the book. That’s not easy to pull off in such a fast paced suspense story.


This was a terrific suspense/mystery story with wonderful characters, a good cast of secondary characters, well paced, and a good faith thread.
This was a great read to start 2024, and it will definitely make my forever shelves.

My daughter is eagerly awaiting her turn. I am eagerly awaiting the next in the series.

Countdown

by Lynette Eason

MY REVIEW

Enjoyed this story! I liked both characters in this story. The fact that it wasn’t an “Insta love” type story made it even better. I like far more suspense than romance, and I felt the author really delivered in that area. 

The suspense was well done, and it was very well paced. The storyline itself was engaging and kept the reader turning the pages. It felt like a bit of a slow start for me, but I didn’t mind that at all.

The faith theme was well done and very intrinsic to the story. It’s hard to get a good faith theme in the suspense genre so it is always well appreciated when it comes through so well.

This had a wonderful cast of characters, a terrific and fascinating storyline, and a good faith theme-all the elements that I really enjoy in a suspense read. I have really enjoyed this series, and I’m rather sad to see it end. It did finish with a fantastic novel, though.

Critical Threat

by Lynette Eason

MY REVIEW

The plot in this story is amazing. The storyline moves at an incredibly fast pace making it very hard to put down. Many twists and turns keep the reader engaged throughout the story. The romance is very much in the background in comparison to many romantic suspense novels, and I am very much ok with that. I really prefer the mystery and suspense to be front and center in my reads.

The characters are interesting, and they definitely have fascinating jobs. The whole idea of how they try to catch a serial killer has always fascinated me. How does one try to think like them? Or figure the why of such evil? These are just a few interesting topics this book will cover.

I would have really liked it if this book had a strong faith theme throughout. It does give one towards the end for which I was thankful. If you are a clean reads suspense fan, you don’t want to miss this one.

Targeted

By Lynette Eason, Lynn Blackburn, and Natalie Walters

MY REVIEW

( This is a guest post by my teenage daughter. I wanted to change things up a bit. )

On the Run by Lynette Eason 
This little story was the best one of all three! So good suspense, great faith theme, and wonderful characters. It started off with a perfect chapter to keep the reader from putting it down. I read the story in two days! It was well written, one of the best books from this author. 

Deadly Objective by Lynn Blackburn
A good little short story with really good banter between the characters. I love that. The suspense was a little slow, not a lot of action to it. The romance took more precedence than I liked. The faith theme could have been an amazing one, but there was very little to the story. I enjoyed the banter, dialogue, and jokes the best. 

Caught in the Crosshairs by Natalie Walter
An okay novella. I liked it, but the romance was a bit much. The suspense was an interesting plot. All in all it is a good little story, just not my favorite. 
All well worth reading, if you really like short stories like I do. Enjoyed the whole book. 

All opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher.

Hostile Intent

by Lynette Eason

MY REVIEW

WOW! This book I didn’t put down, and I finished it in a day. The suspense is well done. It builds and crescendos at just the right times. The romance was well done also as it isn’t a rush to love as many suspense stories are. This has a reunion of high schoolers in the mix.

The storyline is intriguing, the cast of characters engaging, and a revengeful bad guy that has an unreal plan he hopes to execute. 

I did figure a few things out before they were revealed, but that didn’t make the story any less spell binding. Putting this book down just for a few hours was difficult. The reader is drawn in from the beginning. Russia and its history have always been fascinating to me so I’m sure that played a part.

The group of characters are terrific. There isn’t as much fleshing out of characters on a fast paced read, but the author does a great job of doing it well so that the reader feels connected to the main characters. Having a small cast of characters plays well, in my opinion, in these types of reads. I was glad that I didn’t have to keep up with too many. I read the first in this series, but I need to get the second and third. This book stands on its own,though.

A terrific suspense read that I simply had to lose sleep to find out the answers. Don’t miss it.

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.
