Indivisible Review
"An inseparable bond.
An insatiable force.
Battling his own personal demons, Police Chief Jonah Westfall knows the dark side of life and has committed himself to eradicating it. When a pair of raccoons are found mutilated in Redford, Colorado, Jonah investigates the gruesome act, knowing the strange event could escalate and destroy the tranquility of his small mountain town. With a rising drug threat and never-ending conflict with Tia Manning, a formidable childhood friend with whom he has more than a passing history, Jonah fights for answers—and his fragile sobriety.
But he can’t penetrate every wound or secret—especially one fueled by a love and guilt teetering on madness."
This is another book from the best-selling author Kristen Heitzmann, and it definitely delivered exactly what I expected from the book, if not more than that. I've just been in love with thriller/mystery books lately, and this book satisfied my needs perfectly! There's a lot of mysterious aspects to the story that leaves you wanting more when you finally put down the book after hours of reading. This plot is especially unique and I like how the author developed each of the main characters separately without saying too much about any one of them or being boring.
I would recommend this book for anyone who likes reading thrillers and mysteries, or maybe even books with bits of adventure and crime to it, because this is exactly what you get with Indivisible!

Deadly Ties Review
"A horrific crime shatters Lisa Harper’s idyllic childhood. Her father is dead and her desperate mother, Annie, quickly marries Dutch Hauk, an abusive monster who soon reveals his hatred for Lisa. To protect her, Annie defies her ruthless husband and forfeits custody to a trusted friend. Enraged, Dutch vows to keep Annie and Lisa apart—and he does. Years later, though keenly aware of Dutch’s evil intent, Lisa and her mother seize a chance to be a family, safe in a home where love dwells. But they fail to fathom how far Dutch will go to keep his vow."
I've not read the first book in the serious, but from what I've heard, only a few characters were also incorporated into this one, and they only had minor parts, so don't worry about it if you haven't read it either, because it's a good, faithful, suspenseful, and just great novel in itself.
Vicki Hinze is a fantastic writer and I really like her work because of her way of developing the character - it made me feel so connected with the main characters of this book, Annie, Lisa, and Dutch. They were each unique and faithful in their own ways.
I like how this book had a faithful element in it but wasn't too overwhelming, like some Christian books can be. The storyline was perfect for me because I really like suspense stories, and very rarely find one that I hate or even dislike.

The Promise She Keeps Review
"It's her destiny to die young. The man who loves her can't live with that.
Promise, a talented young vocalist with a terminal illness, is counting on fame to keep her memory alive after she dies. Porta is an aging witch and art collector in search of the goddess who will grant her immortality.
When Promise inexplicably survives a series of freak accidents, Porta believes that Promise is the one she seeks. But Chase, an autistic artist who falls in love with Promise and opposes Porta, comes between the women with his mysterious visions and drawings, and plunges everyone into a flesh-and-blood confrontation over the true meaning of eternal life."
The Promise She Keeps is written by the best-selling author Erin Healy, whose work I have not read before, but from what I can tell, she definitely deserves the success! This book's plot is very original and eccentric in ways that I don't know how to describe, and it kept me wanting to read more every time I got to the end of a chapter, which is why it only took me 4 days to finish reading! It's an easy read and definitely interesting. The descriptions of everything in the book is just amazing and Erin does a good job at picking just the right words for everything.
So overall, I enjoyed this book a lot and could see some connections of it to my life, so I loved it! 5/5 :)

Invasion Review
"Colt McAlister is drawn into a war against things he thought only existed in comic books.
This is what Invasion, written by J.S. Lewis is all about! It's the first book in the C.H.A.O.S. series, and there is supposed to be more in the future. Jon S. Lewis is a Christian author, yet no one would really know that because this book isn't trying to get you to become extremely religious at all. It's about a boy and there are a lot about the supernatural in here. I thought that there was more than enough action to keep someone excited about the coming pages of the book, just like I was.
I think that this book would be best for teens who really enjoy adventure and action type of books!
Disclosure: This book was provided to me by Thomas Nelson for review.
After a car wreck takes the lives of his parents, Colt moves to Arizona to stay with his grandfather. There, an informant tells him that his parents were actually murdered because his mom, a journalist, was getting ready to write a story exposing Trident Industries.
Along with Oz and Danielle, his new comrades at Chandler High, Colt vows to uncover the truth. But the more they learn, the more bizarre reality becomes. Mind control, jet packs, and flying motorcycles only scratch the surface of what they discover.
Colt is recruited by a secret organization called the Central Headquarters Against the Occult and Supernatural. But the battle isn't just against an out-of-control giant corporation. A gateway to another world is opening, and the invasion has already begun."

The Truth of the Matter Review
This book was aimed for teenagers, but since it is a suspense novel, and totally my type, I decided to read it and review it.
This is the third book in a series involving around the main character, Charlie West. He woke up and found himself without the memory of a year in his life, during which some pretty INTERESTING and odd things have happened! I don't want to spoil it but they were things that would not normally happen to a teenage boy, for sure. It is packed with action, and did keep me wanting more as I read it, but I realized that it is unrealistic as it is and probably would be a lot better off for a younger "audience".
It is a nice and easy read and maybe you would want to get it for your teenager or tween for Christmas, but I wouldn't recommend getting it for yourself unless you are really bored!
