Pursuit of Justice by DiAnn Mills

Bella Jordan, a Special Agent is on a mission to find out who is responsible for murders in West Texas.

Carr Sullivan leaves his anger past behind him. The murder evidence is aiming right toward him. He claims his innocence.

As Bella comes closer to the truth, the attraction with the number one suspect becomes evident. The past that she left behind is catching up with her. Is she falling in love with someone who is capable of murder?

People are murdered in their search for the Spider Rock Treasure. Is there really a treasure hidden beneath West Texas or is it a rumor? Greed is deadly to those who wish to explore.

Pursuit of Justice is a great story and a mystery of trying to figure out who really is responsible for the deaths. It has the emotional impact of romance, fear of the unknown, and finding out what life is really about.

It makes you think, “Where do my treasures lie?” and greed is evident among the key factors in this story.

If you like murder mystery with a Christian theme, this is a book to read.

Personal Commentary:

How many times do you hear someone wishing they had more money or winning the lottery? It’s not greed necessarily. I believe it’s to get away from the mundane of living the same story each day. Day after day, many people desire for more money so they can quit their jobs, travel, and live life. Is that what Jesus would want? I think life can be better. Take the focus off yourself and focus on others. Do a random act of kindness for another. Be there for when your friend calls. Read to your kids. Our life is short on this side. We will die, let’s store up our treasures in heaven.

Deceit by Brandilyn Collins

Brandilyn is known for her Seatbelt Suspense.

What would you do if your best friend was murdered and the killer remained free? Joanne Weeks is in this position and there is one person who can help her nail the guy.

Baxter Jackson is a respected member of the church. When Joanne blames Baxter for Linda’s murder, there are repercussions. No one believes her. Joanne is more determined than ever to find Melissa, the sixteen-year old foster child that the Baxter’s took in.

For the first time ever, Melissa Harkoff is treated like gold. She finally has escaped her past of brokenness. The Baxter’s have saved her.

The book delves into the concept of Deceit. Is it acceptable to lie in order to help others? Is some deceit more sinful than others? Is a little white lie ok? Does it depend on the situation? The mere definition of deceit is fraud and dishonesty.

Brandilyn takes you on a Roller Coaster ride. You want to get off but you resist. You keep turning the pages. The story is a mystery. It’s fun to try and figure it all out. What really happened in the Baxter household?


I had a 100 pages left and had to get up early for work. It didn’t matter. I stayed up until past midnight because I kept saying a few more pages. Then I decided to ignore the clock and finish the book. Was it worth it? Without a shadow of a doubt, what’s sleep anyway?

So Over It by Stephanie Morrill

The long anticipated third book of the reinvention of Skylar Hoyt does not disappoint.

Have you ever wanted to move somewhere no one knows you? I know that I have. Skylar has her chance to move to Hawaii with her grandparents. It is perfect. It’s a great place to live, beautiful weather, and a chance to make anew.

The journey begins. Skylar is staying in Hawaii for the summer. She meets new friends and a cute guy to boot. Her family is with her but her old boyfriend is not. What could be better? The time comes for her family to leave. She must make a final decision to stay in Hawaii or leave. She can leave the old life behind. But, then there is a part of the old life that she still wants to hold onto. Skylar realizes that you cannot have it both ways.

The theme of the book is forgiveness. It’s difficult to forgive someone and ultimately confront another person if necessary to heal. To forgive oneself can seem virtually impossible. I’m not perfect and I’ve made mistakes. Big ones. I can be forgiven but I can never take away my part. Only Jesus can take it away from me. I have to be willing to hand it over.

If you haven’t read the first two books, I recommend reading them to get the full effect. Each book can be a stand-alone novel. Stephanie provides enough information that you would not be lost.

I’m looking forward to future novels by Stephanie Morrill.
