Hand of Fate by Lis Wiehl with April Henry

I received a copy of this book to review from the Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogger Program which is called BookSneeze (you can find out more about them at booksneeze.com). So a Big Thanks goes out to Thomas Nelson!

Hand of Fate is story is about a talk radio show host who gets murdered and the Triple Threat Team all gets to work on this case just like they were all able to work together in the first book. I read the first book in this series and loved the story itself but the character development wasn't so great for me. However after reading this book, I was very pleased to learn more about the characters that make up the Triple Threat but the story line itself was a little so so for me. Overall though I really enjoyed this book. I think the reason why I had a hard time with this story line was because there wasn't even the first clue to point to the person who done it in this book where in the last one I knew at one point in the book who the person was but by the end of the book I had switched my answer to someone else to who I thought done it.

With all that being said I think those who enjoy mystery novels will love this book and I look forward to the 3rd installment of the series!

Never Say Never by Lisa Wingate

First of all I would like to give a big thanks to the Bethany House Publisher for allowing me to receive a copy of this book for review!

The first time I read a Lisa Wingate book was maybe about 3 months ago and I fell in love with the characters in Word Gets Around which was the second book in her Daily, Texas Series. I still have not had a chance to read Talk of the Town which is the first in the series. Even though I am not a big fan of reading books in a series out of order I was very excited to find that these book can be read as stand alone books so that makes me happy in itself.

In Never Say Never, I found I was able to relate in some ways to the characters and the real message I pulled from this book has sorta become my life's motto and has been for quite a while, not because I read this book but because of things that has happened in my life, which in essence makes me feel like I can sort of relate to the characters.

Overall I thought this was an excellent book, it was little slow for me at one point but I loved the message I pulled out of the book and I feel whoever reads this book will not be disappointed!

Face of Betrayal by Lis Wiehl with April Henry

This is only my second book that I have chosen to review for the Thomas Nelson blogger book review program (which you can look into at booksneeze.com). I will say I was much more pleased with my decision to review this book than the last book I chose! A big thanks goes out to Thomas Nelson for allowing me to review this book and keep it in exchange!

It starts out, from the very first page, of a 17 year old girl, who is a Senate Page, who goes missing while being home for the holidays. From there you meet 3 women, who consider themselves to be called the Triple Threat, who search for clues and answers as to what happened to this 17 year old girl. As the story went on I kept trying to figure out who was behind the disappearance of this girl and I was right at one point but I kept going back and forth as to who I thought it was and in the end when it came out as to who was behind it I was wrong. I loved this book for the challenge in trying to figure out who was behind the disappearance of this girl. However the actual story line with the characters who was trying to figure out what happened to the girl, the Triple Threat, was a little so so for me. This was a very quick read and I had a hard time putting it down because I wanted to know what happened to this girl. If you like suspense novels I would highly recommend this book but if you are looking for character development I wouldn't suggest you read this one because I did feel it was a little lacking in that aspect. Overall all though I still thought it was a pretty good book!
