One Final Breath Lynn H. Blackburn Dive Team Investigations #3

Description:
When investigator Gabriel Chavez had his cover blown by an aggressive reporter, the silver lining was being able to rejoin the dive team. The downside? Dive team captain Anissa Bell--a woman who both fascinates and frustrates him.

Anissa grew up as a missionary kid on the Micronesian island of Yap and always planned to return after college. But she remained stateside, determined to solve the case that haunts her--the murder of her best friend and the disappearance of a three-year-old child.

When Anissa's fractured past collides with Gabe's investigation into the tragic shooting death of a teenage boy in Lake Porter, they'll have to put their complicated history with each other aside in order to uncover the identity of a killer. What they'll discover is that revenge has no statute of limitations.

Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn closes out her nail-biting Dive Team Investigations series with a story that will have you wondering how long you can hold your breath.


My thoughts on the book:

This is the first book in this series I read, I am sure I missed a ton and after reading this book will definitely be going and reading the other books in this series. This book literally keeps you guessing from the beginning to the end. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. The suspense and the story between Anissa and Gabe was so good. I liked how the author didn't rush the relationship but just let it grow. I loved Liz she and Brooke where a different element for the story but equally amazing. This book was a good clean read and is so worth the read. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion.

Pointe and Shoot Alison Stone

Description:

Jayne Murphy has always put family first. That’s why she abandoned her dream of joining the police force to run her ailing mother’s dance studio.

When one of the studio’s most talented instructors dies in a car crash, Jayne isn’t convinced it was just an accident. Relentlessly pursuing her hunch, she teams up with Officer Danny Nolan, the best friend and partner of her brother Patrick, who died in the line of duty. Haunted by Patrick’s death, Danny has begun to question whether he should still be a cop at all.

As Jayne digs deeper, suspects emerge, including the victim’s clingy ex-boyfriend and a jealous foe from the cutthroat dance world. Her evolving insights into the case rekindle Jayne’s passion for police work. Danny, too, feels a renewed sense of purpose…and a definite attraction to his unofficial partner, which seems to be mutual. Now, if Jayne can only keep herself out of harm’s way, she and Danny both might get a second chance—with their careers and each other.

My thoughts on the book:

Jayne's dreams are put on hold so that she can take care of her mom as she has become ill. But she still dreams of one day becoming the best cop she can ever be. When her best friend and neighbor dies she sets off to prove it was not an accident, but will she be able to prove it before before its to late or will someone else get hurt in the mix? Danny has faced the loss of his best friend and wants nothing more to just be accepted as the amazing cop he has set out to be and not someone who caused his best friends death. When he comes face to face with the family that he considered his second family he wonders if forgiveness is ok. Now he has bigger things looking into the death of someone even though every one swears its just an accident. Will he be able to get to the bottom of this or will he put his job on the line?
I really enjoyed this book, I wasn't sure what to expect as I totally went off the cover only. Alison is a new author find for me, and I was not disappointed at some points I thought the book was predictable and then something would happen and then everything would change my way of thinking. Literally this book had me guessing all the way to the end. I did however not like Jayne's brothers they totally seems ugh(can't say much more without disclosing more then you might want to know). I loved that this is a clean read and that there is no strong language in the book. This book reminds me everything is not as they seem. if your looking for a book you can't put down that draws you in grab this one and have fun, you won't be disappointed.

The Amish Clockmaker Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner

What's the book about:
Newlywed Matthew Zook is expanding his family’s tack and feed store when a surprising property dispute puts the remodel on hold—and raises new questions about the location’s mysterious past.

Decades earlier, the same building housed a clock shop run by a young Amish clockmaker named Clayton Raber. Known for his hot temper, Clayton was arrested for the murder of his beloved wife, a crime almost everyone—including his own family members—believed he’d committed, even after charges were dropped. Isolated and feeling condemned by all, Clayton eventually broke from the church, left Lancaster County, and was never heard from again.

Now the only way Matthew can solve the boundary issue and save his family’s business is to track down the clockmaker. But does this put Matthew on the trail of a murderer?
A timeless novel of truth, commitment, and the power of enduring love, where secrets of the past give way to hope for the future

My thoughts on the book:
Its a race against time, money, and technolgy or is it? As Matthew starts a future for his family he has one thing in mind honoring his grandfathers wish, but also honoring what God wants to. Matthew has the simple life in the Amish community, he has family, a wonderful wife, and a new adventure. What he did not expect was that the new adventure would take him and Amanda place neither of them thought they would go. There are three parts to the book in one part you have Matthews and Amanda as they start this journey to uncover some hidden secrets in the community.

Then in part two you have Clayton and his story and his free spirit Miriam. Miriam has plans she wants and shiny things she is ready to go after. Clayton wants to be where he is at and he pines for someone to love him for him. He wants to love like Christ loves us with his every bien. He his faced with so many challenges he is not sure what God is doing or where he is suppose to be in his life. Is he making chooses because he wants them or is he walking through doors God is opening.

In part three it really sums the book up I don't want to go into to much detail because I don't want to give away to much of the last part of the book. I will say this I had a had time putting this book down, and I had a lot of WOW I did not see the coming moments. You will want to grab some tissues cause you are going to need them.

Trail of Guilt: The Trail Series (Volume 2) Rebecca Tust

 

What's the book about:

Chelsea Turner barely managed to survive at the hands of a psychotic stalker. She is still fighting inner demons when circumstances force her into hiding with the one man she's desperately trying to avoid: sinfully handsome, confirmed bachelor, Blake Harrington. As Blake Harrington's boat explodes, killing two of his closest friends, he is certain it wasn't an accident. Convinced he's still in danger, Blake pulls the stubborn radio announcer, Chelsea Turner, into hiding with him and turns to his old college friend, Special Agent Nicholas Braun, for help. As Blake, Chelsea, and Nicholas search for answers, they find someone is ruthlessly determined to keep secrets buried. As they discover a trail of lies and deceit, will they be able to expose the truth before more lives are lost? Trail of Guilt is a contemporary story with a tantalizing blend of romance, intrigue and suspense.

My thoughts on the book:

Ok I have never read anything by Rebecca Tust, but I will say after reading this book I will be buying more of her books. This book is about a girl who has been stalked and now she has a friend who it appears to be going through something very similar. While Chelsea is living with the after effects of being attacked with her best friend she has guilt over putting her best friend into a situation that gets them both attacked. Blake who comes in to convince Chelsea she is causing alot of issues avoiding everyone. Blake celebrates his birthday and convinces his friends to come out for the day of fun that saturday, when all hell brakes loose. This book doesn't have a slow part in it. I thought at one point it was coming to and end only to be so wrong. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and you will not want to put it down. I did not know that this was part of a series and now I am wanting to go back and read book one, I will say that you will catch up with some of what happeneded in this book but I would recommend read book one so you are not left with a few questions.
I will say at first I though oh man there are to many characters in this book its going to be hard to keep up with every one and everything going one, boy was I wrong the author did an amazing job with this storyline and you will not go wrong with this book.
