Nowhere to Turn by Lynette Eason A Review


ABOUT NOWHERE TO TURN
The day Danielle Harding takes her 11-year-old son, Simon, and flees from her abusive husband, is the same day Kurt Harding dies. A relieved Dani believes she and her son are finally safe--but in reality, the danger has just begun. When Kurt was alive, he took something important to a mysterious person. That person wants the item back and believes Dani now has it. As she and her son run for their lives, they have nowhere to turn, until she hires Adam Buchanan of Operation Refuge and goes into hiding. Unfortunately, she won't be able to hide for long . . .

From the first breathless scene, this tension-laced story will hold readers in its iron grip. Bestselling author Lynette Eason propels readers along at a breakneck pace in a race to discover the truth and a better future.

MY REVIEW
  Nowhere to Turn by Lynette Eason is a very excellent suspenseful novel. It is book 2 in the Hidden Identity series, but works really well as a stand-alone book.
  From the very first page I was hooked and couldn’t wait until I could read every single page. Just when I thought one problem was solved another one showed up.
  I did realize pretty soon how Danielle was being found at all of the safe houses, but that didn’t take the suspense and excellent story away.
  Danielle and Simon, her son were exceptional characters as was Adam. I think the characters were well thought out and the describing of the scenes and action were excellent. I highly recommend Nowhere to Turn by Lynette Eason.

MY REVIEW
  Hero by the Advent Film Group is such a wonderful, high quality DVD that it will quickly become your favorite. It is an excellent film to show to your family, youth group or families at church.
  It shows that we all make mistakes and can be forgiven and start again. This DVD shows so many emotions, like anger, fear, loss, longing and the most important forgiveness.  This DVD Hero will pull at your heart strings, but also get you motivated to do the right thing in your family and community.
  The actors and actresses in Hero are all top quality and are excellent in what they do. Most of the scenes are on the baseball diamond, but it really hits home in so many ways.
  In Hero the town finally comes together and the fathers and sons really make it happen. I highly recommend this DVD Hero. It will be a favorite of yours for many years to come.

MY REVIEW
  When Calls the Heart Second Chances with Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing is another fantastic adventure in the When Calls the Heart series inspired by Janette Oke.
  In this DVD Elizabeth and Jack try to become friends again, Elizabeth tries to help out one of her students who has a reading problem, Abigail wants to open an abandoned cafĂ© and Adam Miller comes home from the hospital, he was the only survivor of the coal mining accident, with only one leg. So you put all of these great plots together and you have one fantastic movie.
  The acting, scenery and talent of this DVD are excellent.
    You have very funny scenes and also scenes that are very serious. It all comes together to form one great DVD. I recommend this DVD When Calls the Heart Second Chances.

The Confession by Robert Whitlow~A Review~


ABOUT THE CONFESSION
In Holt Douglas's line of work, there's nothing sweeter than a confession of guilt.

Assistant D.A. Holt Douglas makes his living exposing lies and sending criminals to jail in Ashley County, Georgia. His job is always easier when defendants, instead of remaining silent, blame someone else or try to excuse their actions. With a confession in his hand, Holt knows a guilty plea will soon follow.

But lurking in Holt's past is a dark secret that could end his successful career and possibly his relationship with Angelina, his hoped for fiancé.

When Holt reopens a cold case involving the death of the town's wealthiest businessman-allegedly killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest-Holt doesn't believe it was suicide. Instead, he suspects murder.

As he investigates, Holt's own guilt threatens to destroy him and the cause of justice he's sworn to serve. While he knows his own confession could absolve him of his sin, it could cost him his future. Will he survive long enough to uncover the true crime that this small southern town has been hiding?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Whitlow grew up in north Georgia. He graduated magna cum laude from Furman University with a BA in history in 1976 and received his JD with honors from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1979. A practicing attorney, he is a partner in a Charlotte, NC law firm. He and his wife Kathy have four children and three grandchildren.
Robert began writing in 1996. His novels are set in the South and include both legal suspense and interesting characterization. It is his desire to write stories that reveal some of the ways God interacts with people in realistic scenerios.



MY REVIEW
   The Confession by Robert Whitlow is an excellent book.  It shows us we can come to conclusions about different things and be totally wrong. We can hold hate or anger in our hearts about something that happened or hold onto anger because you have been wronged, but the only way to live is to have true forgiveness and continue with your life.
  In this book Holt is hiding something, but tries to put it out of his mind. He tries to right the wrong that others  are doing, while he keeps his past secret.
  The Confession is full of mystery, intrigue, suspense and even romance. In this novel there are so many twists and turns that you will be amazed at the outcome of the story. I really love a good suspenseful book and The Confession did not disappoint.  I highly recommend this book. It will be a favorite of yours. Very, very good book.
