Firethrorn: A Review


In Nightshade's final ride, someone is after the team. Griffen Riddell was set up for murder and sits in jail while his team is attacked. When Kazi, a covert operative with her own set of secrets, breaks him out of prison, the two must find a way to work together to put the pieces of Nightshade back together before it's too late.

The final installment in a roller coaster ride series definitely had some loops and twists in it. The story was fast, with lots of jolts and excitement. Although I enjoyed the book, it wasn't my favorite in the series. I think the author was trying to wrap up the story lines while still keeping the fast pace, which led to some gaps and some jumps in the plot that left me shaking my head in confusion (Dante).

Overall, it was a wild read, which is what I have come to expect from Ronie Kendig's work. Fans of Christian suspense will enjoy this book, but read the books in order!

I received this book in exchange for my review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Wolfsbane: A Review


When Danielle Roark's Army Corps of Engineers group is captured, she is tortured for six months. After escaping, she returns home to the US and charged with espionage. Forced to go back to prove her innocence, she must return to the place where she was held a prisoner. Nightshade member Canyon Metcalfe is assigned to help Danielle on her mission, and he must fight his growing feelings for her as the two are captured. Will they be able to escape with their lives and their love for each other?

This is my favorite book in the Nightshade series. I think it's because Danielle is such a strong character. I love her feisty personality and her strength after being brutally tortured. In addition, Canyon's family is a nice addition of characters, and I wish we (as readers) could find out more about them.
As always, there are enough action-packed scenes to keep the reader on the edge of his/her seat, wondering how they would survive whatever precarious situation in which they found themselves.

Fans of Christian suspense and military thrillers will devour this addition to a fantastic series.

Digitalis: A Review


Colton "Cowboy" Neeley struggles to hold it all together: raising his daughter by  himself, his flashbacks from his time served in combat, and his work with the covert military group Nightshade. When he finally allows a woman to catch his attention, will her secrets keep them apart and put the team in danger?

This book is a fast-paced thriller. The action scenes are amazing, and the author's knowledge of military life and its effects on all those involved is apparent and creates authentic characters and situations.

Digitalis is even better than Nightshade, the first book in the series. I would recommend reading them in order. You can follow the storyline without it, but you'll know (and love) the characters more if you read them in order.

Fans of Christian suspense, especially military thrillers, will not be able to put this one down!
