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!
