Shadows at Dusk by Elizabeth Goddard review

 

Title: Shadows at Dusk

Author:  Elizabeth Goddard

Ch: 40

Pg:  342

Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

 

I’m not going to lie I didn’t like Shadows at Dusk as much as the first one in the series. Mainly because I didn’t really like Carrie for the first half of the book. And the bit of romance between her and Trevor felt rushed. But I did like Trevor.

I also liked the Alaskan setting and the two mysteries in the story. Wanting to find out about Trevor’s sister and solving the murder is what kept me turning the pages. And I did enjoy learning more about the Alaskan wilderness. I am looking forward to the third book in the series.

Into the Fire by Irene Hannon review

 

Title: Into the Fire

 Author:  Irene Hannon

 Ch: 32 plus prologue and epilogue

 Pg:  392

 Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

 Rating: 4.5 stars

 Publisher: Revell

 

Irene Hannon is one of my go to in Christian romantic suspense and Into the fire is no different. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with a former female smoke jumper turned arson investigator. And an ATF agent. I love both Bri and Marc from the start.

And I enjoyed the unique murder aspect of the crime. It’s not something I’ve read in suspense fiction before. And it leads itself to being a page turner. The mystery and crime keep the reader turning the pages. But seeing Bri with her siblings and Marc with his Nana come you coming back. Those sweet moments balance out the harsher suspenseful moments of the book.

I love forward to the next book in the series and what else is next for Irene Hannon.

Honor's Refuge by Hallee Bridgeman review

Title:  Honor’s Refuge

Author:  Hallee Bridgeman

Pg:  352

Series: Love and Honor book 3

Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

 

Honor’s Refuge by Hallee Bridgeman is the third book in the Love and Honor series. And even though the books are their own story it’s best to read them in order otherwise you miss parts of the overall story. As we as being spoiled for things.

I have to admit I was more excited for the hero’s story as we first meet Phil Osbourne in boon one and by the end of it, he wasn’t in a good place. So, I’ve been waiting for his story. And I’m glad to see how it ends. And I liked the heroine as well.

This was one interesting I’ve never read a book set during a hurricane. But I don’t think the story could have happened without the hurricane it was part of the story.

This was a good ending to the overall series as well.

Lights Out by Natalie Walters review

 Title:  Lights Out

Author:  Natalie Walters

Ch: 37

Pg:  316

Series: The Snap Agency

Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

Rating: 4.5 stars

 Publisher: Revell

For me Lights out the first book in The Snap Agency by Natalie Walters started a little slow. But after a few chapters I was hooked. I liked Jack Hudson from the start, but it took me a bit to warm up to Brynn Taylor. But once I did i realized she was an easy heroine to relate too.

Brynn is like most of us who were teenagers when 9/11 happened had their lives change and altered our future. Like Brynn my dad was affected by 9/11 but unlike Brynn’s dad who lost the career he loved my dad ended up on back-to-back deployments that burnt him out on the career he loved. So, this book hit me personally.

Lights out had the right balance between the suspense and romance, and I loved all the pop culture references. But can references to a movie that is 34 years be considered pop culture don’t get me wrong it’s my favorite movie ever and kind which I could see it the same way the characters in the book got to see it.

I loved the secondary characters and can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Obsession by Patricia Bradley review

Title:  Obsession

Author:  Patricia Bradley

Ch: 75

Pg:  384

Series: Natchez Trace Park Rangers book 2

 Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

 Rating: 4 stars

 Publisher: Revell

 

Obsession by Patricia Bradley is the second book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series. And while I didn’t love it as much as the first book in the series i did enjoy it. Though I could have done without the chapters from the point of view of the stalker. Trigger warning for stalkers.

Emma was a pretty awesome heroine and Sam’s not a bad hero himself. Not to mention this suspense novel includes one of my favorite tropes second chances. But the romance didn’t overpower the suspense. But I do think this was a little too suspenseful this time. I would have finish it in one day if the suspense had become tense and stressful but it was still good.

The only con I had was that it was easier to figure out who the stalker was. But I think that was because i read a lot of suspense and mysteries but those who are new to genre won’t have that problem. I do look forward to the next book in the series.

The Escape Review

Title:  The Escape

Author:  Lisa Harris

Ch: 35

Pg: 327

Series: US Marshals  

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense   

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell 

The Escape by Lisa Harris is the first book in the US Marshals series. When a prisoner transport goes horribly wrong and the place crashes marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere with a fugitive to catch.

I’m not going to lie this book me a bit of The Fugitive vibes with the plane crash and escaped prisoner. The book started off slow but picked up pace as the book went on. Madison was my favorite of the two characters . However both characters change and grow over the course of the novel. And as a reader who likes her romantic suspense to be more suspense than romance The Escape was the perfect balance between the two.

While the main suspense of the book wrapped up nicely the secondary suspense thread left a bit of a cliff hanger that allows for a possible set up for the second book in the series.

Point of Danger review

 Title: Point of Danger

Author: Irene Hannon

Ch: 27 plus epilogue

Pg:  378

Series: Triple Threat book

 Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

 Rating: 4 stars

 
Publisher:  Revell

 

Irene Hannon has done it again. She's written a Christian Suspense that I couldn't put down, but also didn't want it to end. Point of Danger is the first book the Triple Threat series.   

When Eve Reilly starts receiving threats  because of her radio show  Police detective Brent Lange  will do his best to protect her. 

 

Irene Hannon has been one of go to authors for Christian Suspense since I discovered her writing after being introduce to Christian Suspense  as a genre by author Dee Henderson.  What keeps me coming back to Irene's books is the balance that she gives to the suspense and the romance. With her books the suspense is the main focus with the romance subtly  woven through the story.  Which is how I tend to like my suspense and Point of Danger is no different.  I look forward to the next book in the series as well as any more suspense from Irene Hannon.

Acceptable Risk review

 

Title:  Acceptable Risk

Author:  Lynette Eason

 

Ch: 28

 

Pg:  320

 

Series:  Danger Never Sleeps

 

Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

 

Rating: 4 Stars

 

Publisher:  Revell

 

Acceptable Risk by Lynette Eason is the second book in the Danger Never Sleeps series. And though it’s the second book in the series it’s a standalone story. Though If you read it out of order you will be slightly spoiled for how the first book ends.

When Sarah Denning loses her army career and ends up with a target on her back it’s up to Former Army Ranger Gavin Black to protect her and find the people who want her dead. I enjoyed this one the suspense kept me turning the pages but it wasn’t my favorite of the series. I have to admit it because Sarah got on my nerves at first and it took me at least half of the book to warm up to her. But the secondary characters the hero and the plot kept the book moving.

I will continue the series as soon as the next book releases. If you enjoy suspense I recommend this one and the first book in the series.
