The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - A Brief Comment

  

I am just making a brief comment in order to log the first three books of this series into my completed books for the year. Since this book has received 4.7 stars on Amazon with 103,950 reviews, posting another review does not seem necessary. We had enjoyed the movies at our oldest granddaughter's recommendation. Afterwards she suggested that I also read the books. I am glad that she did. As I  thoroughly enjoyed all three books. 

Raging Waters by Dana Mentink - A Book Review

  

Wilderness survival specialist Gideon Landry's life had been changed by multiple choices made by his best friend, Aaron Bardine. Aaron's life choices and especially his death, had also greatly altered his sister, Mackenzie's life, turning her into a vengeful person that Gideon hardly recognized. Now, thrown together in a life-threatening situation, trying to escape nature's elements and enemies they had inherited from Aaron, survival is their main goal.

Adventure is the key word for Raging Waters. Gideon, Mackenzie, and Mentink's readers barely catch their breath after one harrowing adventure before another begins. Mentink engages every sense; readers will feel wet, cold, hungry, totally exhausted, and filled with both fear and determination. This fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat story is an intense read I highly recommend. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Raging Waters from Revell via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own. 

Last to Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn - A Book Review

  

How fun to return to Gossamer Falls and the Quinn family! This final installment of the series is filled with emotions as the dam holding them back finally breaks between Mo and Bronwyn. Readers have waited a long time for their story, and it was worth the wait. It was nice to see Blackburn give a nod to Sabrina Fleming-Campbell from her Dive Team Investigations series. A series, like this Gossamer Falls series, that is intense and filled with action.

While Last to Fall would make a fine stand-alone read, I highly recommend reading the Gossamer Falls series in order so that the reader can fully enjoy the story and understand the nuances. Blackburn creates fantastic plots with lovable characters as well as characters who need a whole lot of grace. The settings of her books are never random, and always play a part in the story. Her books are romantic suspense at its best. Fans of Lynette Eason, Robin Patchen, and Irene Hannon will quickly become fans of Lynn H. Blackburn as well.
