The Heart of a Hero - Book Review

 Oh, my heart! Susan May Warren does it again with another Rescue Team book. This one has a heroine who is a Pediatric Heart Surgeon and takes place in beautiful Key West. Although, with a Category 4 hurricane, don’t expect a leisure beach read! This story is non-stop action with deadly near misses and a hero who inspires. I love these retired Navy Seal stories. Such bravery. Don’t miss Dr. Aria Sinclair’s and Jake Silver’s whirlwind of a story! Batten down the hatches and get lost in a great book! 

The Key to Everything - Book Review

 

Nostalgic sentiment fills the pages of Valerie Fraser Luesse's The Key to Everything. I felt like I was there through the author’s vivid descriptions and active voice. Word War II stories are always an intriguing read, but this story is in the aftermath of the war and touches on the emotional state of many people, particularly the young ones who didn’t experience the war firsthand but only through their older family members. The Key to Everything is told from the perspective of a teenager who had to figure out why his father was so different after the war, as well as find his own place in the world. And what a pretty world the setting of the story took place in. It was a virtual vacation for me as I read along. Great read!

The Way of the Brave Book Review

The Way of the Brave by Susan May Warren
Publisher: Revell

A gripping search and rescue book that shows the relentless conflicts of nature that must be dealt with, even while personal conflicts vie for attention. Susan May Warren is a master at emotion between characters and doesn't disappoint with Orion and Jenny. Their wounds are painful but survival is critical. The mountain climbing component was interesting, but parts were confusing for someone unfamiliar. Still a good book full of adventure and life-threatening danger. 

The Gryphon Heist Book Review

I've been waiting to dive into this Christian Thriller. This is James Hannibal's first CF book, and I know it won't be the last.

In addition to the masterful plot twists and surprises, I found his choice to use a female main character a pleasant surprise. Talia made for a great CIA officer, and I was glad to see she was relatable and not one of those main characters that everything works out for them. She had issues to face, all while doing her job. Just like the rest of us.

I also appreciated the author's skill of writing humor. It is not an easy thing to do. Many times humor falls flat on the page, but not so in this book. It helped break the tension well and make the characters likable.

Thank you to Revell Publishing for this book.
