"The Last Disciple", by John W Mefford



A Jack Whitfield thriller book #8

For those following this series we know that Jack is on the run and with his confidante Natasha they race across Europe hoping to find the truth about Jack’s past. While in Budapest his memory rocks him and together they must use any means to learn the truth. Would finding what really happened in his past free him from the disturbing images he has in his mind.....or his visions all fiction?...from then on we step into an unstoppable whirlwind and a massive roller-coaster ride.

This story has some exciting chases, maybe a bit over the top but it makes for a very exciting read. I love this series it is one of my best not only it is action packed it also provides us with unexpected twists and turns and outcome we don’t see coming. The plot moves so fast in this twisted story that I couldn’t help but flipping the pages at a raging speed. Oh yes I am repeating myself I say this with every story Mr. Mefford wrote and I probably will in the future also. This author has a knack for penning a story that keeps us on our toes and teases us in ways that we need to know what comes next. I love how Jack’s character is portrayed as a caring but also a deadly individual (two sides of a coin sort of). The narration is fast and furious just like the action.

Reading “The Last Disciple” I was off on journey of intrigues, discovery, subterfuge and death.....what a good read....

Another great addition Mr. Mefford keep them coming. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment

"One Last Shot", Susan May Warren


Alaska Air One Rescue book #1

Oaken Fox, a country music star, wants to boost his fan base and joins survivalist Mike Grizz’s new adventure show in the Alaskan wilderness. It didn’t take long for tragedy to strike and have Air One Rescue on site, the experience was enough for Oaken call it quits but his producer has other plans for him...On the other side, Rookie EMT Boo Kingston is there to keep Oaken safe and is assigned to his training and safety.........and the story goes on when five women goes missing and Air One team uses all the skills to find them, Oaken needs to step up and be part of the team.

No lack of action in this one. If you like search and rescue activities in a mountainous environment you will be very happy with this story. We learn about ascender, carabiners, tension, knots and the many techniques used for a safe rescue. The narrative is very active I felt I was there with each step the characters took. The tension in vivid and intriguing in some ways, we never know what will happen next. Sure way to keep us turning the pages and interesting in the drama. Yes drama there is attraction between Boo and Oaken, tragedy: people getting lot or hurt, threatening others, you name it, you will find it here. What I like the best is the camaraderie played out between characters. They mess with each other and will go to no ends to help.

“One Last Shot” is all about ones last chance to start all over again, putting the past behind, forget and forgive and to look forward to a new beginning. Boo and Oaken’s characters show us how this is possible...

I received this ebook from Revell via Netgalley for my thoughts: this is the way I see it.

"Vanishing Angels", by Melinda Woodhall


Book#1, in Bailey Flynn FBI Mystery Thriller series

Melinda no doubt has found her perfect formulae and is sticking to it when it comes to giving us suspenseful and intriguing stories. In this new series we find the same beat her other series have given us. A heroine with a painful past who may or may not be an officer of the law, gruesome murders to pick interest, a vicious predator to hate, exciting plot full of action to please us and she never forgets to set the stage in a small town and always ads icing on the cake by introducing a smart dog and why not an handsome man to boot.....oh yes, not forgetting a plot that holds attention from start to finish and characters to die for....awe another winner.

In a few words:

FBI Special Agent Bailey Flynn is hoping that she and her search and rescue dog Ludwig can make a fresh start and start a new life in Belle Harbor. It was not meant to be: a vicious predator is stalking the coastal town. The life of someone dear to Bailey was taken..... Bailey needs to put the past behind and track down this killer before he strikes again.....

I was pinned to this story and I zipped through it in no time. Well-said, Well-done

I received a free copy of this book and I leave a voluntary review, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
