Shadowed Storm: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 4 (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott – Review by Julie Johnson

Shadowed Storm (Shadow Defense Security, #4)Shadowed Storm by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This entire series is a must read!! Each of these books *could* be read as stand alones, but you’re cheating yourself if you don’t read them all! There is an overarching theme that travels through each book, as well as several of the characters, so I highly recommend it.

There is non-stop action when Alexis discovers that her former research professor is about to unleash a strain of algae that could wipe out the world through the water supply. She will stop at nothing to confront him with this and try to put a stop to his actions. It’s not long before Alexis learns that she’s being pursued by people trying to stop her from stopping the exposure of this corruption.

Seb is an ex-Navy SEAL that is set out to protect Alexis on her endeavors. He’s trying to keep her safe while she’s worried about keeping him and his friends safe. They make a great team!

I want to talk about the ending but I won’t because I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone. However, Ms. Mavery Ellscott, if you are reading this, please get book #5 out ASAP! 🙂

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. I enjoyed how this author used their writing ability to pull me into their story. Their attention to details made the story realistic and hard to put down. This is a well written story about a game of cat and mouse. A story that has twists and turns that could just turn deadly for the detective on the case, Jessica. She is a great character that is my favorite. I enjoyed watching her growth and the growth of the plot throughout that made her story easy to read. I also enjoyed how connectable and relatable she is, what she added to the story made it entertaining. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. It had me turning pages fast to the end. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend this book.

This book is a brilliant addition to the series and I think is the one that has my favourite characters so far. I loved the connection between Alexis and Seb. It felt so real and convincing, right from the moment they are together.
The overall story was exciting to read. The author kept it moving with so many twists and turns. I found myself completely pulled in to the story and what was going on. This has been a really strong series so far and this book just adds to that. I would definitely recommend it and I am looking forward to the next one.

After reading this author for the first time reading the second book in the series , then after binge reading the first and third one in anticipation of this release I was extremely excited and couldn’t wait to dive in. This authors writing is taut and engaging, and has a well-paced narrative that keeps readers hooked with gripping action-packed storyline and satisfying characters development, intricate plots, high-stakes scenarios, and strong, dynamic between the main characters Seb and Alexis So If you enjoy suspenseful and gripping stories I highly suggest you read bot only this one but the whole series 🥰

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another gripping thriller in this exciting series which once again had me hooked throughout. Oceanographer Alexis takes a dive with a school of basking sharks, but discovers a sunken motorboat. The boat has a lethal bio-engineered algae specimen on board which could contaminate freshwater sources. When Alexis becomes a target of a ruthless enemy she in lists the help of her friend and former Navy SEAL Seb Tremblay. The pair work on finding away of neutralising the algae whilst being hunted by a powerful enemy with vast resources. In order to protect the planets most vital resource and prevent global chaos Alexis and Seb must be prepared to make sacrifices. This was a real fast paced, page turner with an action-packed storyline and plenty of plot twists which kept me turning the pages. Both the characters and the Florida Keys setting came to life through the descriptive narrative which made me feel immersed in the story. Although it’s part of a series with an overarching conspiracy plot and a crossover of characters, it can be read as a standalone novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this story which had drama, suspense, romance and humour.

Who says Oceanographers rad quiet lives ?!

Alexis is out diving when she spots the “ ordinary” which is ocean life and the “ unordinary” an algae , it’s no ordinary algae and it’s effects can be devastating to mankind and now she’s under the radar of the “ creators” of this bio engineered algae , she’s in danger and these people are ruthless …

What they didn’t bank on is Seb , her former Navy Seal friend and man he’s all alpha and had he weak at the knees 🙈and one would think that because they’re trying to save humanity they’d have support but the bad guys seem to one up them the whole time but fear not good will always overcome evil 😉

While the fight to save mankind was going on there was also the battle of the heart which did break the tension a little and it was a good distraction from the heart racing tension 🥰

It can be read as a stand-alone but I highly recommend you read the entire series for a fuller experience 😉

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the previous book in this series and loved the independent, tough, stubborn, determined Jessica Watts. Once again I was hooked by this gripping and fast paced story which had plenty of suspense and drama. Amateur detective Jessica investigates following a teenagers confession about a youth pastor’s disturbing behaviour towards her. Jessica soon finds herself trapped in a twisted psychopath’s brutal game of cat-and-mouse. Not only is Jessica following her suspect through the unforgiving desert but she’s also battling her own demons. However, if Jessica is to defeat the monster she’s perusing then she has to embrace her ruthless side. I literally could not put this book down! Once again the characters and setting came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. Whilst the plot twists and turns kept me impatiently turning the pages unsure of the story’s outcome. I definitely recommend picking up this book and the previous one!!

This book will have you diving into the shark infested waters as well as protecting our environment. Alexis and Seb make a great team. Seb an ex seal and Alexis an oceanographer. Both love water and both enter into a fight for their lives as well as our ocean life. WOW this story is fast paced and loaded with many twists. Which makes for a great suspense thriller. The characters have a strong will, that’s for sure. The author, although new to me, has me wanting to read so much more from her. Her story holds an emotional rollercoaster as well. Great read for those who enjoy diving and underwater activities. I really enjoyed reading this series and can’t wait to read more. Well Done!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another wonderful story in this series. I honestly could not wait for this one. We saw the two MC in Finlay’s book and I wondered if something would happen between them. Now I know! This one is filled with action, suspense and drama with of course the romance between these two. The thrills really ramped up the last couple chapters and I kept looking at the page number vs how much story was left. I was nervous it would end badly or a cliffy but nope it was done well.

I love Alexis! Her job is intriguing and she seems unstoppable. I was hoping the ending would have her going back to Holt’s daughter since she idolized her so much. I feel this gal can do anything in any situation. Seb is a lucky guy and I see he realizes it as the story moves along. There are numerous other characters that pop in and out that add a lot to the story and help it get moved along. Some I wonder about others are gone as soon as I turn the page.

Hopefully there will be at least one more in this series.

4.5 Stars

 

“She’s determined to unravel their plan to control the world’s water supply.
They’re out to silence her—permanently.”

Shadowed Storm is the fourth thrilling instalment in the Shadow Defense Security series by Mavery Ellscott, and my favourite of the series to date.
This is a tense romantic suspense with action, adventure, danger, high stakes, chemistry, agendas, a sinister & powerful foe, twists, intrigue, humour, mystery, emotion, interesting characters, a massive global threat, a race against time, challenges, and so much more — which all added up to a very engrossing read.
I loved all the exciting elements that were woven into this story, it made for a riveting read.
Again, as I have mentioned in previous instalment reviews, this book/series would translate well onto the big screen- and make a great, long-running, television series.
I can’t wait for more Shadow Defense!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Mavery Ellscott!

El Diablo: A Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense Novel (Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense Series Book 2)El Diablo: A Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense Novel by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just like the first book, the second book, “El Diablo,” is a gripping and thrilling story in the Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense Novels series. This book begins two years after the first book, “Tequila Midnight.”
This cleverly woven story embodies gritty darkness, palpable tension, high-end danger, and plenty of suspense. Amateur detective Jessica may be reckless and unpredictable, but there is one thing she won’t tolerate, and that is injustice. There are a lot of sick individuals out there, and she is more than willing to kick arse and take names. She will always run into danger to protect those who need it. Now she is stuck in a world where only criminals and the vile exist, and staring down her own monsters is not a place she wants to explore.
“El Diablo” is a book that will have you on the edge of your seat, looking into the darkness to see what lies beyond. You will find it at times violent, disturbing, dangerous, and questionable, but you will be high on the chase as it twists and turns and totally immersed in it. I loved it.
I need more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dr. Alexis Hayes is an oceanographer who discovered dangerous algae on a boat during a dive during one of her dives for research. When she tries to figure out who is behind it and why, she finds herself on the run from some dangerous people and literally running for her life, in an attempt to solve the mystery and possibly save the worlds clean water supply. Alexis’s friend, Sebastian Tremblay, who is a former Navy SEAL and part owner of the security firm, Shadow Defense, meets up with Alexis to try and protect her and keep her safe once she reaches the United States, after she arrives from her sailboat trip from Paris. While the pair tries to stay ahead of those who wish them harm and want to keep them quiet, they must also figure out who is responsible for the algae and how to stop them. Neither expects to fall in love along the way. This book is part of the Shadow Defense Security series, and can be read as a stand-alone, but is definitely better when read as part of the series and you will definitely want to read them all. The characters and world feel real and like friends you never want to leave. I can’t wait to see what is next for this series and these characters.

I somehow accidentally missed Shadowed Defense book 3, and while I’m kicking myself (and on my way to find it and read it as soon as I’m done typing), I really really enjoyed this one! I’ve read books 1 and 2 already and they definitely continue to get better and better (not necessarily the writing, the writing is solid, but the storylines are becoming more complex as they go). I found the story engaging from page one and had a really hard time putting it down. I liked not only the Shadowed Defense agency pieces, but also the highly intelligent female lead character- good book, definitely recommend!

This is the fourth book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. While I haven’t read the other books in the series this book stands well on it’s own. The plot of a bio-engineered algae specimen capable of contaminating freshwater sources is unique and intriguing. That’s plenty of twists and turns in this high stakes thriller with romance and humor. You’ll keep reading until the end.

This book was absolutely amazing!! I have loved every book in the Shadow Defense Security series, but this one takes it to another level. Alexis and Seb are magnificently written characters. Alexis is incredibly intelligent with a quite wit while Seb’s mission is to protect. While these books can technically be read as a standalone, I highly recommend picking up the previous books as well. There is a lot of background and overarching themes that are continued through each installment. I definitely lost quite a bit of sleep just so I could stay up and finish reading this. If you are looking for a book that is going to keep you on your toes, make your heart pump with non-stop action, and fulfill your romantic desire, look no further. This should be your next buy! I am on pins and needles waiting to see what this author has in store for us next. Bring it on!

Shadowed Storm is a gripping tale set in the world of Shadow Defense Security. It’s a high-stakes story where everything is at risk of being destroyed if the characters don’t stop the plot to take out the world’s water supply. Each book in the series is standalone, but they all share an overarching conspiracy plot, and characters make appearances across the books. “Shadowed Storm” is the fourth book in the series, and it’s just as captivating as the previous ones. The author, Mavery, has created a world filled with dark and gritty plotlines, suspense, thrills, high-end danger, and strong, sexy ex-SEALs in protective mode, alongside equally strong female characters. This romantic suspense thriller is both interesting and highly entertaining, with a touch of humour woven throughout. It’s a must-read that won’t disappoint.

Notebook Mysteries: I really enjoyed this book! I started off the series with the previous book and still haven’t had a chance to dive any further back; however, the author does a wonderful job of keeping the story line up to date but also gives enough backstory without bogging down the plot. I love the characters and the strong female lead, which is something that most period books just don’t have, or are not written as well as these are. I love the world building and the witty banter. It is romantic but not steamy. Loved it and will definitely read the next, and eventually the previous!

They’re out to silence her—permanently.
Oceanographer Alexis Hayes can’t resist an impromptu dive when she spots a school of basking sharks. But the moment of pleasure takes a dangerous turn.

Now, she’s the target of a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to recover the specimen.

Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.

A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.

Wheel of Evil: honestly my favorite book in the series so far! As always, I absolutely love the historical details given for such a fascinating period of time. The characters are so well written and I really feel like I’m actually getting to know them. Once again, Nefet finds herself involved in yet another murder/mystery. This time, however, since the plot involves her uncle with his and the entire families lives and safety at sake, not even her papa can find a valid reason to keep her from investigating. The plot twist at the end on this one threw me! Didn’t see it coming and I love it when that happens. Great read! Don’t have to read the first ones to understand, but I would recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Silent Forest is Book Two in The House on the Hill Series. It is psychological thriller with action, mystery, intrigue, suspense, secrets, lies, tension, and danger. This book picks up where the first book left off so if you have not yet read the first book, I highly recommend that you do because it introduces the characters and gives their backstory. Set in a small town the story follows a cast of eclectic characters who are trying to settle into a new normal after a series of tragedies. Kaia is trying to find answers to the mysterious disappearances and unsolved cases in town by following a trail of cryptic clues. As she does so she unravels some dark secrets that lead her into danger. The Woods family has taken in a lost boy who seems innocent but may be harboring some deep, dark secrets. The story is edgy, dark, twisted, and full of tension that builds up to a climatic ending setting the stage for the next book in the series.
