Cold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

Elizabeth Goddard is quickly becoming one of my favorite Christian Romantic Suspense authors. I’ve enjoyed everything she’s written so far and Cold Light of Day  is no different. I enjoyed the new setting as I haven’t read a romantic suspense set in Alaska. And I think Alaska lends itself to its own character in this novel.

Autumn Long is the police chief of Shadow Gap Alaska when a crime wave hits her small town. She’s doesn’t have enough officers or the support of the town council. But she’s a capable police officer and she’s determined to prove that she’s the right person to be chief.

Grier Brenner is a man who’s running from his his past as well as keeping secrets. But he still has a heart for helping and doing the right thing. Not to mention he’s pretty much adopted by a husky with one blue eye one brown eye name Cap. Pretty cap was my favorite character though bear was a close second.

I also loved the people of Shadow Gap the old guys at the diner reminded me of my grandpa and his friends.

The suspense kept me turning the pages because I just had to find out what happened. And another plus is I didn’t figure out who done it till it was revealed. And I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Critical Alliance by Elizabeth Goddard review

Title:  Critical Alliance

Author:  Elizabeth Goddard

Ch: 39

Pg:  368

Series: Rocky Mountain Courage book 3

Genre:  Christian Romantic Suspense

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

 

While each book in the Rocky Mountain Courage is a standalone it’s best to read them in order. Because there’s a small plot that starts in Present Danger but isn’t wrapped till Critical Alliance. Each book is a new mystery but what ties each together is the friendships between one of the main characters.

Though I have to say that critical Alliance the final book and the one that focused on cybercrime. I loved Mackenzie and Alex. Mackenzie’s a reformed computer hacker and Alex works for a government agency that handles higher level crimes. So it gave me a bit of Penelope Garcia vibes. This one was the faster paced book of the series and it kept me turning pages. If it hadn’t been for work and sleep, I would have finished it in one night. I look forward to more books by Elizabeth Goddard.

Present Danger by Elizabeth Goddard review

Title:  Present Danger

Author:  Elizabeth Goddard

Ch: 65

Pg:  384

Series: Rocky Mountain Courage book 1

Genre:  Christian Romantic Suspense

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

 

 

     Present Danger is the first book in the Rocky Mountain Courage series by Elizabeth Goddard. Both Jack Tanner and Terra Connors have come home to Montana for different reasons both with jobs that bring them in contact with each other. Even though the two of them would rather forget their shared past. A murder that leads to both of their separate cases will force them to work together.

 

     With Present Danger I loved the fact that the suspense out weighted the romance. Nothing wrong with romance in suspense, it’s just I prefer mine lighter on the romance. But it doesn’t stop me for reading romantic suspense in which the scales are tipped in the other direction as long as the romance doesn’t completely overshadow the suspense I’m good.  And Present Danger had the right balance.

 

     This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading. The only reason it took me two days to finish it was simply the fact that I had to put it down in order to sleep so I could go to work the next morning. And I look forward to the next one in the series.

Don't Keep Silent

Series: Uncommon Justice

Genre:  Christian Romantic Suspense

Rating: 3.5

Publisher:  Revell

 

Don’t Keep Silent by Elizabeth Goddard is the third and final book in the Uncommon Justice series. It focuses on the third McKade brother Liam and Rae Burke. And I have to say that even though it was still a good read it was my least favorite of the series.

It took me a while to read because even though I was enjoying it while I was reading it. I didn’t enjoy enough to want to pick it up as my first choice to read. I ended up finally finishing it in a day because I had finished everything else I had read.

The suspense and setting were awesome as were the secondary characters were awesome as was Liam the hero. But the heroine Rae drove me nuts m. But another than that it was still a nice wrap up to the series. I think other fans of the series will enjoy this one I just think I read it at the wrong time.

Blog Tour for Never Let GO

Title:  Never Let Go

Author: Elizabeth Goddard

Series: Uncommon Justice Book 1

 

Chapters: 68

Pages: 362

Genre: Christian Suspense, Christian Romantic Suspense   

Rating: 5 stars

Never Let Go is the first book I’ve read by Elizabeth Goddard and it will not be my last. When I read the blurb on the back I knew it was a book for me. Willow is a Forensic Genealogist which is a term I’ve never heard before but I was intrigued, as someone who majored in Criminal Justice in college and now works as a library assistant in the genealogy and local history department of my library this sounded like I a job I would be interested in.  Because after all with genealogy you are trying to solve the mysteries of the near past as well as the far past.

So it makes since that a Forensic Genealogist would help the police and FBI with missing people’s cases.   Makes me want to research and see if there are actual Forensic Genealogist in real life in case I ever want a career change.

Reading Never Let Go was bittersweet for me as I to have a late grandfather who fostered my love of genealogy. So it was easy to picture and understand what Willow was going through with her own loss of her grandfather. The ex FBI agent Austin McKade and Willow’s ex was the kind of hero I enjoy reading about in Christian Suspense novels.  The kind while being a man of faith have a flaws and issues in their past that they need to deal with. It shows that they are human but God can still use them.

I enjoyed this action packed Christian Suspense novel. That I think anyone who loves suspense will enjoy. I even learned about a possible new forensic career.  I look forward to new books in the series as well as other books from Elizabeth.
