Title:In Too Deep (Dive Investigations#2)
Author: Lynn H. Blackburn
Pages: 352
Year: 2018
Publisher: Revell
My rating: 5 stars out of 5
The suspense and action are beyond words!In the first novel titled, Beneath the Surface, I was hooked as that books starts with discovering a body underwater.There were themes of faith, romance, and danger.The story just kept me up late reading!Now, the author successfully resumes the tale of her characters but adds yet other aspects with such tension it is literally palpable!
There is human trafficking, which is a real problem.The author handles that aspect with wisdom and grace.I love the mystery in the book and how what happens at a crime scene makes readers want to know who did the deed.The author never reveals where she is taking the readers until we’re already there. I can only imagine that isn’t an easy thing to do.
Adam and Sabrina are two of the main characters and their interactions and romance are intriguing.Sometimes with books that are well writ…

Author: Jerry B. Jenkins
Pages: 320
Year: 2018
Publisher: Worthy
My rating: 5+ out of 5 stars!
What a magnificent beginning to a new series by author Jerry Jenkins!I was glued to the book until the very end, spell bound by the many twists and turns of the plot, characters and climactic ending!I have enjoyed many of this author’s books over the years, but the first book of this series is brilliant! The sequel, Dead Sea Conundrum, is set to be released in 2019 and I am anticipating its arrival with eagerness unparalleled!
The story is running parallel time frames, one is in ancient biblical times while the other is present day.The characters are unique to each time line and each has a mystery threaded all the way throughout the novel.As I was reading, I was wondering how the two or even if the two plots were going to intersect.You will have to determine if they do or don’t when you read the book.
In the ancient timeline, there are two well-known bib…

Would you read a novel that included family history, mystery, action and an ending that really was inspiring and touching?Well, when I opened this book, I knew I would enjoy what Liz Johnson was offering but had no clue just how much!If, after reading this, you want a suggestion of what else to read, her Red Door Inn series was exceptional!

Title: On Distant Shores (Wings of the Nightingale Book 2)
Author: Sarah Sundin
Pages: 432
Year: 2013
Publisher: Revell
My rating is 5 out of 5 stars.
Awesome! I just finished reading the second novel in Sarah Sundin’s Wings of the Nightingale Series. The characters’ stories begin in the first book titled, With Every Letter. One characteristic of historical novels that I so appreciate is the research done that brings authenticity as well as new knowledge to me. The more I read I realize so much happens at a single moment we just aren’t capable of being aware of it as being God, especially in today’s society where so much is instant and electronic. We seem to have lost some appreciation as to what has happened before this time in history. When authors undertake to search out historical nuggets then weave a tale around it, we can all enjoy their true labor of love they serve for our enjoyment.
In this series, the author takes us back to World War 2, highlighting the way nurses had to be traine…

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
Diane and David Munson’s novels are very exciting and usually very action packed.Here is a new series that is a different but not less exiting read!Here is a romantic suspense novel that really had me guessing at the mystery, underlining the plot throughout the book.One of the main characters is Madison Stone who is a very hard-working and dedicated attorney for any client she represents.The other character to watch is Jordan Star, who is represented by Madison and who also is supposed to inherit the family ski resort in Vermont.
