Better Than the Best by Amabel Daniels – Review by Jana Teppih
Better Than the Best by Amabel Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Better Than the Best by Amabel Daniels is a fantastic suspense/romance read. I read it as a standalone and it was my first encounter with the writer. I fell in love with her writing so after I finished the book I went and checked out what else she has published and I was delighted to see that there are 2 more books of the Newland family so I know what I will be reading next!
Better Than the Best is the story of Kelly Newland and Will Parker. Kelly is a former ER nurse from Atlanta who quit her job and divorced her husband and is looking of r a new start and meaning of life. She decides to go and try to start anew in Myrtle Beach but she never makes it there … she ends up in a small town Churchston. She has no idea that her life is going to take a tumble for the worse … Will is a black sheep of the sleepy small town and he is suffering from PTSD. He is anti-social and you could probably say that he hates the world (including Kelly)…
What do you get when you mix a sunny beach and lurking danger and quirky characters? You get a neck breaking rollercoaster ride where you hang on to the edge of your seat and try to keep your fingers crossed at the same time that please, please, let there be a happy ending and please please, I do not want anyone to die! Well…I guess you need to pick up your own copy to find out what the body count is (and if there is a body count on the first place) and while you hold your breath to get to the end, enjoy the great dialogue and all the supporting characters! I know that two of Kelly’s brothers have their own books but I really hope that Amabel will come back to Churchton and give Will and Kelly’s friends their own stories!
