Review of The Betrayal (Precinct 11 Novel)

The Betrayal by Jerry B. Jenkins is a well-written sequel to The Brotherhood. In my opinion, this book was even more fast-paced than the first.

I'm pretty sure I heard that Jenkins is a "pantser" (as in writing by the seat of your pants) when it comes to plotting. As someone who utilizes outlines, I was impressed by how he tied the various subplots of the two stories together (things were set in motion in the first book that really fit and connected with the second). Jenkins also did a good job of interspersing narrative with dialogue.

Men and women of all ages who enjoy a quick read should like this novel (suspense action, romance--it's all in there). In this book, as well as in most of his other stories, Jenkins provides backstory, so conceivably, each story can stand alone. Still, I'd suggest reading the first book because it gives you greater insight into the main character, Boone Drake.

In this sequel, Boone faces a new set of challenges (as if he hadn't already been through the wringer in the first book). Haeley is in trouble, and there are hints of a dirty cop or two on the force. In a race against time, Boone must collect evidence to find out the truth, even if it hurts.

Review of Deception

A mysterious phone call from a little girl sends Patti Jakowski packing and on a flight out of town. Soon after, with the help of a friendly cop, Patti sets out to find her missing twin sister. A dangerous game of deception ensues.

Deception truly is the perfect title for this fast-paced romantic suspense novel written by Lillian Duncan and published by Harbourlight Books. A quick read, it was hard to put the book down. 


Lillian did a good job of describing the scenes, and there were several settings in this story. Having lived in each of the states mentioned, it made the story all the more interesting. 


This novel should appeal to women of all ages and men who like to read suspense with a touch of romance.  


This book is available from Pelican Book Group on 12/30/2011.

Review of The Joshua Covenant

Are your favorite movies and TV shows military themed, or do you enjoy reading spy novels? If so, then you might enjoy reading The Joshua Covenant, published by Micah House Media and written by David and Diane Munson. David is a former NCIS agent, and Diane is a former Federal Prosecutor.

The Joshua Covenant centers around the life of CIA agent Bo Rider and his quest to stop a dangerous and powerful mole. Not only is Bo’s life at stake, but the lives of those he cares about. As he races to stop the mole, Bo must face a myriad of obstacles, both internal and external, including a secret from his past.

Though the Munsons have written other books about Bo Rider, readers could pick this book up and follow it without having read the others. The authors did a good job of making the story seem believable.

My Story

Sometimes, we discuss fictional stories.

But if you'd like to read about a true story, that is "my story," as is my personal testimony, please hop over to Anne Baxter's blog, A Pew Perspective.
