I HIGHLY recommend this book! (Unless you get creeped out easily or don't like crime stuff, then you should probably skip this.)
This book is full of twists and turns, from the very first pages to the last. You'll start out thinking one thing is going to happen, and suddenly something completely different happens! I really like the main characters, Patrick, and his daughter Tessa.
The author is very knowledgeable and this book is filled with fact and information. (Almost too much at times.)

So if you're looking for an exciting, suspenseful read, then check this out! And, it's only $4.00, you can't really beat that ;)

Identical Differences by Erynn Mangum [3.5 stars]

Identical Differences by Erynn Mangum
Book info from Amazon.
Alexia Patterson has spent her whole life waiting to get out of small town Longsville, Oregon. Her twin sister, Rachel, is a different story. When Rachel calls to tell Lexi that she's engaged and asks her to come home for a few weeks before the wedding, Lexi is anything but eager to go back to Longsville. Add in Justin MacPherson, a guy she's hated since junior high, and the two weeks are not looking good. Surely God's plan isn't to make Lexi insane, right?

I love Erynn Mangum's books, but this wasn't one of my favorites. It's an e-novella, so it's short. I never felt too connceted to the characters and I actually thought Alexia was kind of rude at the beginning of the book. I also thought Alexia's reason for hating Justin was kind of dumb too.
Erynn did do her research on the Northwest. I especially liked her little comments about Birkenstocks.

I would highly recommend her other books .

Recollection by Tom Pawlik [4 stars]

Recollection by Tom Pawlik
Book info from Tyndale
New York City cabdriver Adrian Colfax awakens one night muttering a mysterious string of numbers and with the fragments of a bizarre dream in his head. He can’t shake the feeling there’s something he’s supposed to do. Something very important. He just can’t remember what it is.

Through a series of haunting visions, Adrian comes to believe he's been transported back in time to prevent the violent murder of the girl he loved. But he also learns that saving Kate could result in something even more catastrophic.

The clock is ticking. What will you do with the time you have left?

I read and reviewed another book from the 7 Hours series (Whole Pieces by Ronie Kendig) and thought I'd try another book from the series. I enjoyed this book as well.
I really liked the characters. The dialogue was very good, thoughtful at times and interesting.

I was very suprised by the ending. This book really puts into perspective the difference this characters choice makes about changing his past and how it effects those around him. It really makes you see the whole picture and understand even through bad times, God does see the bigger picture and He does know what he's doing! And even going back and changing one event can effect so many people. This is a great book for a Christian to read. While it won't answer why God lets bad things happen, it definitely makes you ask yourself some questions and make you look at your own past.

In Between: A Katie Parker Production by Jenny B. Jones
From back of book:

Katie Parker knows life isn't fair. After all, when your mom's in jail and your dad's a no-show, you figure things just aren't going your way. But hey, she can deal. Then she finds out she's being sent to live with a foster family--in In Between, Texas. What kind of town has a name like In Between? And what kind of family wants a kid like her? One thing's for certain: None of this will be good. Sure enough--thanks to some new "friends" and her non-Mom's crazed mother, Mad Maxine--life sails right past bad to stinking. Then again, she's just a temporary kid, they're just temporary parents, and she definitely doesn't have any ideas about making any of this permanent. God, on the other hand, may have other plans altogether.

 

This is YA, which I don't read much anymore, but I LOVE Jenny B. Jones's books! She is so funny and I really enjoyed the characters in this book! (Especially Mad Maxine!) So even if you aren't a YA reader, you should enjoy this. And best of all, it's free!

I read this book awhile ago, the story is pretty good. And being from the Northwest, I always find stories based there pretty interesting.

 

Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson

From back cover:

Under FBI protection. Sara isn't even Sara Walsh anymore. Her name is what they tell her. Her home is where they send her. And she's never there for long.

Though faceless, he haunts Sara's dreams. He's the man who abducted Sara as a child and continues to stalk her. He's the one who is determined to end their connection-and Sara's life.

Which makes her falling in love with a man as high profile as Adam Black a bad idea. And a dangerous one. For both of them. Sara's life is an unsafe place for love-and certainly an unsafe place for the children Adam longs for. No one knows that better than Sara, and she can't take the risk.

But if she doesn't, her life will never be her own. Where will she find the courage to name her terror and face her fear?

 

This is the prequel to the very popular O'Malley Series. The series is pretty good, the romance a little cheesy at times, but they're all a good read.

Whole Pieces (7 Hours Series) By Ronie Kendig [4.5 Stars]

Whole Pieces by Ronie Kendig
(info of book from Tyndale)
After a brutal attack left him without a limb and his team dead, former Green Beret Haytham "Hawk" Wilson is angry at life and God. Bitter, he pushes everyone out of his life. Every day he relives his decision to send teh Afgan boy home rather than following orders to kill any who came upon his hidden team. So when on his deathbed at age 36, eaten alive by grief and regret, he's offered the chance to relive any seven hours. Hawk is determined to go back, kill the boy, and save his team. The decision is simple...until he gets there.

The clock is ticking. What will he do with the time left?

There are 7 books in the 7 hours series. (I've only read this book.) The whole concept of choosing 7 hours to relive is kind of a neat. I'm not really a fan of supernatural/fantasy type stuff; but this was good. It adds a whole new level of emotional turmoil to the character since he knows the outcome of his decision. He has to weigh every decision he makes, agonizing over what could happen.
I love Ronie Kendig's writing, and I think she could write just about anything. She has a way of writing and making you feel like you're right there (which is kind of scary in some situations!) But I really enjoyed this story, it's short, won't take too long to read, and definitely worth the $2.99!

On another note, isn't the cover awesome?!?!

This book is $2.99 and available for Kindle only. Or PDF version HERE

Pretty cool to find two book in the same series as free downloads!

Free Kindle Book: Hazardous Duty by Christy Barritt

Gaby begins to feel ignored by the people working on the case, so she decides to figure it out herself. Can she stop the killer before he kills someone else?

This is a fun read, even though it's about a crime scene cleaner, it's not icky or gory on the details. The characters are fun and interesting. This is a great read! And it's free, so who can complain?

Dead Reckoning by Ronie Kendig
Review HERE.

The Witness by Dee Henderson I have not actually read this book, but I have read all the books in O'Malley Series as well as Kidnapped. All of which are pretty good books, so this should be a good read as well.

A couple free Kindle books

I noticed that a couple of my favorite books were free for Kindle download, so I wanted to share.

The Pawn by Steven James [5 stars]
Saying I love this series would probably be an understatement. This is the first book in the Patrick Bowers Files.

The Pawn is about an FBI agent Patrick Bowers who is an environmental criminologist who tracks down violent offenders. Bowers, who is still trying to deal with his wife's recent death as well as the resulting estrangement from his step-daughter, is called in to Asheville, NC, where young women's corpses are turning up. The killer's MO is to leave a chess piece and tie a yellow ribbon in his victim’s hair.
Bower's must piece together each of the murders as his techniques are put to the test.

This is not a good series to read if you are frightened easily, and don't like 'creepier' stuff. If you can handle true crime, thrillers and the likes, you will love this.

Do NOT read this series out of order!

I love how the author, Steven James, is able to put together such an intricate plot and keep you interested as well as guessing what's going to happen next.

The Stones Cry Out by Sibella Giorello [3.5]
This is the first book in the Raleigh Harmon Series. Raleigh Harmon is an FBI agent in Virginia. Two men plummet from a roof to the sidewalk below. A crowd is gathered nearby, but no one saw anything. Or are they not talking?
The victims are a white police officer and a young black man with a troubled past.

Raleigh Harmon is called in to solve the case and the Bureau wants the case solved, with or without the truth. Raleigh must rely on her training as a forensic geologist to solve the case.

I read the second book in this series first, not realizing this was the first book. I didn't like this book too much, but I love the ones after it. Maybe because in the second book Raleigh is back to her hometown in Seattle, which is where i'm from ;) but I thought that story was better. (The Rivers Run Dry)
Anyways, as a free download, it's a good read.



And for $0.89 you can download this book:

Forsaken by James David Jordan [4.5 stars]

When Simon Mason, the world’s best-known televangelist, begins receiving threats from Muslim terrorists, he hires former Secret Service agent Taylor Pasbury, for protection.
Taylor is excited to receive the high-profile assignment, but Simon Mason knows more about her than she thinks. And, when terrorists strike, making unspeakable demands of the pastor, Taylor draws on all of her training to save Simon and his daughter.


Great read, I only wish the author had more than just two books in this series. Definitely worth the $0.89!
