The Kidnapping by Linda Burson – Review by Amy Dean

The KidnappingThe Kidnapping by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Most of us will never know what it’s like to be so wealthy you cannot trust a soul, even your own fiancé. Fate stepped in for Jena one night as her fiancé’s plan to prove his love for her starts to unfold with the wrong man getting a note and envelope. Andrew was comfortable with his routine and life he built but he would never think a girl like Jena would end up in his life. Love proves you don’t have to know someone for very long before you fall for them, even if the circumstances are less than ideal. Romance is a strong theme throughout the book and was written beautifully.

The Intruders by Brett McKay – Review by Amy Dean

The IntrudersThe Intruders by Brett McKay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The format of this read was something different. The author gives his notes about each chapter right within the story. This worked well to his advantage because it made me want to read into the next chapter right away. The chapters were short and kept you hooked. Plenty of action and adventure for this family and learning their new lives after they were taken from their home. Even in a space that is supposed to be safe, you never know who you will be able to trust! Great read!

Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen – Review by Amy Dean

The Girl Who EscapedThe Girl Who Escaped by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was one that was so hard to put down. The chapters were well written and flowed. Every time I got to the end of one of the chapters, I had to remind myself I had things I needed to do and had to stop reading. The writer wasted no time to get into the juicy crime that followed the whole book. It had me rooting for the heroine right off the bat and continued as she became stronger and more confident in herself until the very last page.

Hungry Business: A Gothic Story about the Horrors of Dating by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Amy Dean

Hungry BusinessHungry Business by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was between books and decided to find something to fill my time before I decided which book to read next. Little did I know I’d end up reading it in one sitting instead of a couple days like I planned. I’m glad I’m no longer in the dating game now, as I feel like even without the illness, dating can be hard and even harder when you are trying to find someone who won’t try to eat you. Fun little read!

In Plain Sight (Logan McKenna Mystery Series Book 8) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Amy Dean 08/2022

In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! I kept trying to guess the plot along with the main character Logan and I also kept asking myself what I was missing and the answer really was in plain sight. The characters were engaging and all had their own personalities, which the author was able to portray through the writing. I will also always know a fun fact about turkey vultures that I would have never probably known before, even though they are a common bird in my home state. This book flowed well and was very easy to read and several times I had to convince myself I needed to put the book down to get other things done. I was able to keep all the characters straight-which is something I sometimes struggle with in books. This is definitely a book I would read over and over again.
