Review of "Turn to Me" by Becky Wade

I've said it before but it bears repeating: I hate starting Becky Wade books. (This is primarily because once I've started, I don’t wish to put them down, which essentially means they are soon to be finished, and then there won't be anything good to read) :(

But, getting started was worth it in the end. Because this book was GREAT. From the treasure hunt to the messy family relationships to the whodunit mystery to the high level forgiveness skills - there were so many nuggets of wisdom -and fun!- to be found. These characters were very unique and interesting; and when you put together Finley’s eclectic upbringing, take on life, and awakening self awareness with Luke’s big burdens, special skillsets, and strong sense of duty - the combination is electric. As always, the snappy verbal repartee is on point.

I have truly enjoyed this series, and I’m super bummed it’s over. I would give it eleven stars if I could. If you haven’t read the other books yet, make sure to start with the first (Stay With Me) and go in order!

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

 

Review of "Fatal Code" by Natalie Walters

This is the second book in the author’s The SNAP Agency series.

SNAP Agent Kekoa Young has been carrying around a huge burden for years…and it is starting to take a toll - and when he is asked to “monitor” his neighbor Elinor, he finds that he just may be willing to share his burdens with someone. But is Elinor truly who she appears to be?

Elinor (aerospace engineer and basically awesome genius) Mitchell is grieving her grandfather, trying to complete a bajillion dollar project at work, all while being caught up in a mystery she does not initially recognize or understand.

This series is great! The topics are atypical for this genre and therefore very interesting - and are written in a way that is easy for the average reader to understand. The camaraderie between the SNAP team is enjoyable, and the characters have depth. I am happy to recommend this book and in fact anything by this author.
