Bishop’s Gambit (Redclaw Origins Book 2) by McKenna Dean – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Bishop's Gambit (Redclaw Origins, #2)Bishop’s Gambit by McKenna Dean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this series. I enjoyed this book as much as the first one. This story is full of action and paranormal characters. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her ability to pull me in right from the beginning. Her attention to details made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I had no problems connecting with the characters. They kept the story engaging and turning pages. This is a story about Rhett and Peter. They find themselves in a case together. They also find themselves putting their relationship on hold as they go on a case in the suburbs. The story takes on a mystery and suspense aspect from here and is hard to put down. I won’t say much more about this book as I highly recommend picking it up. This is a great story that has strong characters that you don’t want to miss.
