Lethal Target by Janice Cantore

Lethal Target

This is the second book in a series called Line Of Duty. It follows a police chief, Tess O'Rourke in the small town of Rogue's Hollow. She sees more action that a small town chief should see with an increasing drug problem and now pot farms. Someone has a price on her head and what exactly will happen?

You know what happens, it's that kind of book, but it does keep you guessing by adding in more and more characters and a few unexpected things throughout.

The best part of this book in terms of what can I get out of it, is Tess' relationship with God. She has been angry with God, she thinks, for years, ever since her dad took a bullet on her 16th birthday and died. She wants nothing to do with faith or God since. But she's good friends with a pastor, a pastor whose wife was killed in the first book of this series, so she is constantly confronted with God and faith and she values the pastor's insight and friendship.

This comes to a head because the pastor makes a comment that angers Tess and she leaves to go home, but it continues to haunt her until she realizes the truth in the words that were spoken. And then healing is able to begin as she recognizes that her dad had a choice to give his life for another.

I don't know why I read these books, I wouldn't classify myself as a suspense reader at all, but there are a few authors and Janice Cantore is one, whose books I enjoy reading. 

I received this book from Tyndale House and was not required to write a positive review.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers ...

All the Pretty Things by Edie Wadsworth

I haven't posted a book review in over two weeks, I must be lazing off!!! Actually, I had two books going at once and also read a non-review book in between. Not that I think anyone missed me or anything. But just to be clear, I am back and have about six books to review in the next few weeks. Okay, "All the Pretty Things". When I started this book, I loved it. I thought it was an amazing story and it is. Edie was born to an alcoholic father. She rarely saw him sober, but she loved him and enabled him until his dying day. She missed that father figure in her life and attempted to salve that wound by working hard at everything she put her hand to except her marriage. She was raised in rather extreme poverty. Her parents divorced and both remarried, but divorced again. She was abused as a child, though it became a repressed memory that came out through recurring nightmares. She was introduced to Jesus and would often respond to altar calls to make sure she was saved. Sh...
