The Paris Betrayal

 

The Paris Betrayal is the first book I've read by Author James R. Hannibal.  I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was intrigued by the title and description.  Thankfully I was not disappointed!  Mystery/Suspense is my favorite genre to read right now and for me to really love a book it needs to grab me from the get-go and this one did just that. It had be turning each page eager to find out what happens next.  It is a very relatable book for what's going on in today's world.  It is post pandemic and talks about bio-weapons however, not covid ,this could still be hard for some to read about.  It did not bother me, but readers might want to be aware going into it. 

After a rough mission in Rome involving the discovery of a devastating bioweapon, Company spy Ben Calix returns to Paris to find his perfectly ordered world has collapsed.  A sniper attack, an ambush, a call for help that brings French SWAT forces  down on his head. Ben is out.  this is a severance-reserved for incompetents and traitors.

Searching for answers and anticipating a coming attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an upstart hacker from his former team.  More than that, Ben must come to grips with his own insignificance as the Company's plan to stop Leviathan from unleashing the bioweapon at any cost moves forward without him.  He struggles against the infection that is swiftly claiming territory withing his own body.

Be warned that when you pick up this book you are not going to want to put it down.  So clear your schedule and get ready for a great suspense novel that will keep you guessing.

Never Miss

Never Miss is the debut novel of Author Melissa Koslin and what a great first book it is!  I do a lot of reading at night and I pulled an all nighter with this one.  I couldn't put it down.  From the first page I was intrigued with the character of Kadance.  I felt sad for her.  She has a very lonely life, just her and her cat Mac.  Her profession as a sniper keeps her living undercover.  She comes from a family of Assassins and the skills she has were taught from a very young age.

Lyndon is doing some deep research that suggest that the virus, Ebola, is man made and is about to be used as a weapon against the U.S.   Kadance comes to Lyndon's rescue when she saves his life.  They join forces and try to discover who it is that keeps shooting at Lyndon.  It all seems to stem from the research he's doing, but as they begin to warn others it seems that no one believes them.  The deeper they get the more it seems that the only people they can trust is each other, but what they think to be to true is about to get turned upside down as they continue to search for answers.

This was such an enjoyable book that was fast paced and had plenty of suspense.  If you are a fan of christian suspense I would highly recommend this book.  This is an author that I'll be keeping my eye on.

Present Danger

Present Danger by Elizabeth Goddard is the first book in the Rocky Mountain Courage series.  This is a great suspense novel.  From the very beginning the suspense begins and just when I thought I knew what the main story line was, the author threw me for a loop and added a new twist.  A matter of fact, this book is so full of twists and turns that sometimes I found it hard to keep everything straight.  It almost felt like my head was spinning.  Talk about fast paced!  There is also a touch of romance thrown in and I'm always a fan of that.  I am really excited to see what the rest of this series has to offer.  If you enjoy suspense novels this book comes highly recommended.

Former FBI Special Agent Jack Tanner is working as a detective in Montana when he comes across a body in the national forest during a search and rescue mission.  He's committed to finding the killer, even if it means working along side his old flame, US Forest Service Special Agent Terra Connors.

When Terra discovers that the murder victim had ties to a powerful and dangerous trafficker of archaeological artifacts, the investigation takes a deadly turn.  One that hits close to home.  As Terra fears she lacks the courage to face what comes next, Jack is more determined than ever to protect her.  But he's failed her before.

If he fails this time, it will cost them far more than just their hearts.

This will make a great summer read!  Thanks to Revell for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
