Review of "The Memory Index" by Julian Ray Vaca

This was such an interesting concept. The story grabbed me from the beginning and I found that I didn't want to put it down. The characters and mystery were compelling and I especially loved the friendships and witty banter. Also enjoyed the "alternative 1987" setting. Music and culture references were very fun. I was surprised by the mild profanity and taken-for-granted teen drinking (obviously common but not really necessary to the story IMO - and extra surprising from a Christian Fiction publisher? There was no Christ element but I did expect it to be considered a "clean" read at minimum....) As it ends with a cliff-hanger, I am looking forward to the next book.

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

Review of "Free Fall" by Nancy Mehl

The third book in the author's Quantico Files series, FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit Agent Alex Donavan and her partner Logan Hart face one of the toughest challenges of their career. They are tasked with creating a profile for a missing woman, and soon realize it may be connected to other cold cases. But are the women dead....or alive? And how many are involved in the crimes?

When Alex's part in the case takes a more personal turn, how far will it go? And will she and Logan ever connect on a non-professional level?

This was a well done and satisfactory ending to the series. I enjoyed all three books, and gladly recommend them (you will definitely want to start the beginning, as there is a strong progression from book to book!)
