This is the second book in the Mesquite Springs series. The first book in the series was “Out of the Embers”. While you will be able to read and enjoy this one without reading the first, I think it is much better if you read the first one since they do have some of the same characters. And while both books are labeled as historical romance, I find both have a little bit of mystery and intrigue in them which keeps you from wanting to put the book down. The mystery I have found in her books isn’t just of the romantic kind either. Amanda Cabot has a way of bringing her town and characters to life that leaves you feeling like you have visited with old friends and/or family. She is definitely being added to my must read her books list.

This is the second novel I have read by Sarah Sundin and both have been based during World War II as are all her books based on the books listed on her website. “When Twilight Breaks” is a stand-alone novel so you do not have to have read one of her other books first. Like a lot of World War II and historical fiction books for me, this one is not as fast of a read. Part of the reason this is a slower read for me is that the author uses some German in the book which slows me down. With that being said, I am not saying that I did not like the book because I definitely enjoyed reading this novel. The author did a great job with such heavy topics as the treatment of Jews during this time. She does not downplay the horrible parts of this time in Germany at all. I found myself frustrated along with the main female character, Evelyn Brand, because she was trying to show the truth in her articles but her boss kept changing them on her before they were printed in the newspaper. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

“Network of Deceit” is the sequel to “Collision of Lies”. While I would recommend you read that one first, I do not feel it is necessary to be able to follow this one. If you like romantic suspense and are not sure if you will like this one because it is considered just suspense, then I think you should still give it a try anyway. Tom Threadgill does not disappoint when it comes to the suspense in his books which keeps you so busy trying to figure everything out that you do not miss the romance. There are several things going on in “Network of Deceit” that keep you guessing the whole way through the book.

This is the second novel in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series. Even though I would recommend reading the first book before this one, it is not necessary to be able to follow along and enjoy this one. The title of the book gives you a good idea of what it is about because the main female character, Emma Winters, has a stalker who as the title tells you is obsessed with her. There are also a few other things going on in this novel that add to the suspense and mystery. There is a ten year old cold case in which a girl named Mary Jo Selby was murdered as well as the fact that the brother of Emma Winters has been missing for that same amount of time leading a lot to believe that he is the guilty party. If you like the following: puzzles, suspense, and romance, then you will definitely enjoy this book.
