Review of “Unsolved Amish Abduction” by Mary Alford

This is the third book but the first of her love inspired books I have read. This novel has all the elements of a great mystery. It is a cold case involving the main female character as well as her sister. I found myself drawn into this book not only because of the mystery and suspense but also because of the characters themselves. I thought they were captivating. This novel had a lot of twists and turns. I had a hard time putting it down. If you’re looking for a great suspense, then you will really enjoy this book.

Review of “The Stories We Carry” by Robin W. Pearson

This is the first book I have read by this author. This novel is what I would call general fiction which is not my normal genre. I normally read romance or romantic suspense, but I was intrigued by the book blurb and also loved the fact that this book is set in North Carolina. It took me a little bit to get into this book but I found myself slowly being drawn into the characters as well as their lives. I was especially drawn into the interactions between Glory and Adelle. They are the two main characters in this novel. Overall, I thought this novel showed a lot of different sides to people and brought an interesting dynamic of life to the plot.

Review of “Pursued on the Run” by Terri Reed

I am a big fan of this author and I have read several of her books. This novel starts out with the main male character, Sean Donovan, getting off the bus after having been released from prison. Not long after he gets off the bus, he is jumped and put into a van. This novel started with the suspense as well as mystery from the very beginning. There were so many good secondary characters in this novel. I will say that I thought this was one mystery that I actually was able to figure out from the very beginning but I was so wrong. It had a lot of twists and turns. It kept my attention until the very end. I highly recommend it.

Review of “The Coach’s Secret Child” by Lee Tobin McClain

I really like books by this author. This is the first book in the Tumbleweed, Texas series. The two main characters are Mike Cook and Kayla Stewart. I found it interesting that the characters who had a past relationship met back up because Mike started teaching where Kayla was already teaching. That was an original twist to me because I have not read another story where that was the case. This novel had a great lesson in forgiveness of others as well as yourself. It also was a great book to teach people that you are not always like your parents and you can overcome difficult life circumstances. I definitely recommend this book.

Review of “Raging Waters” by Dana Mentink

This is one of my go-to suspense authors. This is the second book in the Elements of Danger series. You do not have to have read the first to read and to enjoy this one. The chapters in this book are a little long but since the book kept my attention it still read pretty quick. The action and intrigue started at the very beginning and went to the very end. There were so many twists and turns in this book. I really enjoyed reading it and had a hard time putting it down. I highly recommend it.
