TRACKING CONCEALED EVIDENCE

Unearthing clues in a murder could be the last thing they do...

To salvage his reputation, former forensic entomologist Jamey Dyer and his cadaver dog search for clues in a dismissed homicide -- and find the victim's sister, Detective Shaylee Adler, buried alive. Convinced her senator brother-in-law is behind the attack on her and her sister's disappearance, Shaylee needs Jamey's expertise. But can they uncover a deadly conspiracy before the killer buries the case -- and them -- for good?

My Review:

R-e-l-e-n-t-l-e-s-s, that's how you spell the diabolical villain in this gripping romantic suspense. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or awed by the author's clever repertoire of assassination techniques. :-) We're dropped right in the middle of the heart-pounding action on page one and it doesn't let up until the epilogue. Mercy! 

And I absolutely love the science nerd hero and his fascination with all things buggish. Quirky and funny and so clever. In fact, I love the way the author celebrates the intricacies of God's creation in the midst of all the mayhem. There's a real sense of reverence that comes though which I haven't seen before in a novel. Shaylee also has a habit of finding something to be grateful for in any situation which I found very inspiring.

Then there's Bugsy, Jamey's cadaver search dog with the happy-go-lucky, go-with-the-flow personality. She's handy to have by your side in a crisis plus she excels at sharing puppy kisses and canine comfort when the situation calls for it. Great multi-tasker is Bugsy. :-)

The intricacies of a suspenseful plot paired with the burgeoning (and adorably awkward at times) romance made this a read-in-one-sitting kind of book. Oh -- and the fact that it mostly takes place in a wilderness setting notched up my enjoyment that much more.

Cold Case Trail

GIVEAWAY

STOVER, SHAREE

COLD CASE TRAIL

Following the clues could be the last thing they do...

Temporarily working in the cold case division was supposed to mean less danger for state trooper Trey Jackson and his injured K-9 partner, Magnum -- until they thwart an abduction. Now he must protect profiler Justine Stark, even as she blames him for her friend's death then years ago. Can he right past wrongs by finally solving the murder...and making sure Justine lives to find closure?

My Review:

Second Chance romance with an enemies to more twist amped up the romance in this intense cold case suspense. From the heart-in-throat, attention-grabbing opening scene to the swoonworthy conclusion, this is one gripping read.

And there are dogs, people! Not only the handsome and debonair Magnum, K-9 extraordinaire, but Justine fosters a pack of strays she fondly refers to as 'the boys.' 

There's plenty of danger, enough plot twists to rattle the most staid armchair detective and the kind of fast-paced energy Love Inspired Suspense novels are known for. 

Unputdownable!

Grave Christmas Secret

GIVEAWAY

STOVER, SHAREE

GRAVE CHRISTMAS SECRET

 Discovering buried evidence makes her a target.

At a prehistoric site, forensic anthropologist Taya McGill uncovers a recently buried body days before Christmas -- and finds herself in a killer's sights. Now on the run with undercover ATF Keegan Stryker, she must rely on him to guard her as they figure out why someone would kill to keep this murder unsolved. But can they unearth the truth before someone silences them both for good?

My Review:

To start -- first prize goes to the very clever title. That kind of attention to detail screams 'buy me' among a shelf of similar books. And the back blurb cinched the deal for me because I love when a heroine has an unusual occupation and forensic anthropologist is definitely that. 

I got a kinda 'Bones' vibe from this story with Taya constantly questioning and weighing in on every situation much to the exasperation of the agent trying save her life! The first chapter seesaws between spine-tingling creepy and outright terrifying to darkly amusing and ends with this ominous warning from Keegan. "Your enemies are deadly, and they are coming for you whether or not you believe in them." (p 20) And I was hooked!

Cue the sinister music soundtrack, grab some comfort chocolate and settle in for a reading blitz 'cause this suspense won't let you go. A page-turning delight of mystery, action and romance along with a sprinkling of holiday cheer.

Her life is a lie

She's not who she thinks she is...

With gunmen at her doorstep, Katie Tribani learns her true identity. She's been in witness protection since childhood, and now her crime lord father has found her. As bullets fly, US marshal Daniel Knight whisks her to safety -- but not for long. Captured and held prisoner, only Katie can unearth her secret past...if she can survive long enough.

My Review:

Wait...just...a...sec...gotta catch my breath. Phew! Oxygen tank definitely recommended for this breath-snatching read! Hard to believe this is Sharee Stover's debut novel! It's edge-of-your-seat goodness full of action and romance and some diabolical bad guys. Seriously creepy! And there are so many twists and turns. It's like Katie's been dropped down a rabbit hole with no end in sight. Just when I thought we'd landed at a breathing space...whoosh, all the air was sucked out of my lungs. Again. I feel like I've hiked the Manitou Incline (a reference you won't get until you read this awesome suspense,) So if you're into adrenaline-rush romantic suspense Secret Past is definitely the book for you.
