Review of “Home No Matter Where” by Nancy Naigle

This is the third novel in the Shell Collector series. There is also a short novella that is between the second and third book. This author is a must read for me and this series is an absolute masterpiece. This book was a fast read for three reasons. One reason was how well written it was, another reason was the short chapters, and lastly the characters make this story read quickly. I loved that this book encompassed so many things that I love about North Carolina. It had the beach, the mountains, and one of my favorite tourist attractions all mentioned. I would have loved for more of this novel because it was so good. You are definitely going to want a box of tissues by your side while reading it. I highly recommend it.

Review of “Danger in the Rockies” by Terri Reed

I have read several books by this author and really enjoyed them. This is the third book in a continuity series called Colorado K-9 Unit. These series usually have a crime that occurs in the first book and is not solved until later in the series. This is the first book I have read in this series but I do not feel like I am lost even though I have not read the first two books. I thought that this book was really well-written. I really enjoyed the interactions between the two main characters and their K-9s. I also have to say that there were so many great secondary characters in this novel that make me glad it is a series instead of a standalone. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series and I highly recommend this one.

Review of “The Lies We Trade” by Kristine Delano

This is the debut book for this author. As an accountant the financial part of this book interested me but I was even more intrigued by the part of the book blurb that mentioned a secret the main character had. Some of the investment lingo threw me because I am not as familiar with it since I do not work in that part of accounting. I found the plot both intriguing and confusing. While reading it, I felt like I had started the book in the middle of it instead of the beginning. In the end, I thought the book was okay but I cannot really recommend it.

Review of “Birds on a Wire” by Katie Powner

I really enjoy books by this author. She is on my list of authors I go to when I need a good read. This novel falls within the contemporary genre so there is no suspense or real romance involved in the plot. It focuses more on real life messy situations people may find themselves in and how they deal with those situations. It was a fast read because it had short chapters and intriguing characters. I thought the name of the baby boy from the novel was so unique. I found the stories of both the main female characters to be gripping. This book caused me to feel a myriad of emotions. I definitely recommend this book.

Review of “Witness Safeguard Mission” by Carol J. Post

This is the fourth book I have read by this author. The suspense in this novel starts from the very beginning. This story revolves around Nicole and Braydon, but also includes the little sister of Nicole, Maddy. I felt so bad for Maddy because she is so young and having to deal with so much. I really enjoyed the interactions between all the characters in this novel. This book was so well written. I did actually figure out one of the people involved but I did not figure out the reason why. I definitely recommend it.
