The author has done a wonderful job of world-building and it is very helpful that there is a glossary of terms in the book to help better explain some terms. Both the story and the characters come alive on the pages. There are some suspenseful moments as well as emotional ones. Some bonus stories are included. I enjoyed reading them and found them to be both exciting and entertaining. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that you won’t want to put down until the final page.

Dare Game (The Irish Garda Files Book 1)
By Melinda Colt
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Dare Game (The Irish Garda Files Book 1) by Melinda Colt. It is a mystery/crime story that has an amazing storyline and characters. One of the characters that I liked is Detective John O’Sullivan. His work at one crime scene expands when other crimes with the same MO are found all over the world. John is a man who when he gets a case, has a fierce determination to find the killer and bring them to justice. All while giving a sense of closure to the victim’s families. John is good at his job and is empathetic when he needs to be. Another wonderful character is Amber Reed. She is a mother who has learned that her teenage daughter has gotten caught up in a world of crime that John is trying to uncover. She is a mother who cares for her daughter and will do anything to keep her safe. Both John and Amber’s characters are well developed, and I found myself caring about them with each chapter that I read. I was rooting for John’s success in finding those who are part of a scheme that involves murder. The storyline is one that kept my interest all the way through. There is not a dull moment. The author has done an amazing job of weaving a tale that I just couldn’t put down until the final page. Don’t miss out on a suspenseful story that will have you reading far into the night. I highly recommend it.

I loved reading the book Better To Have Loved by Christy Nicholas. It is a beautiful story that pulled me in from the beginning. I love the character of Julie Jensen. She is a young woman who is making her way in life. She is a wonderful artist and has a passion for life. This story chronicles her adventures, her loves, and events that change her life. Julie’s character is one that I grew to love with each chapter that I read. You can’t help but want her to be successful and happy. The book is an emotional one and mine went up and down the entire time I was reading the story. This is a book that I found myself getting lost in. The author has an amazing talent in making both the storyline and the characters come alive. I also enjoyed the secondary characters and their interactions with Julie.
