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
  I’ve been a fan of Lynette Eason for years. I’ve enjoyed every book she has written and this one is another fantastic read.
Hide and Seek tell the story of Erica who’s daughter was kidnapped, but she never gave up hope of finding her. During this time her family and husband all pulled away from her, because she was so devoted to finding her daughter.
  Erica and her brother and his friend started up a skip tracer agency to find other lost and kidnapped children in hopes of one day finding her daughter.
 In her efforts she comes in contact with Max whose sister is the new link in the kidnapping case. Find out how well they get to know each other and what happens to all concerned.
  I loved this book, because it tells you never give up, but also you can learn that you don’t push others away when you need them most.
  The love inspired Suspense books from Harlequin are my favorite reads. They are interesting, short and come to the point quickly. Lynette Eason does a fantastic job in this book. I highly recommend it. This is my own book and I wasn’t asked to review it.

A killer's deadly game needs new players . . . but someone's about to change the rules

As a medical examiner, Serena Hopkins is used to dealing with death. But that doesn't make it any easier when she's called to the eerie scene of a murder--especially when Serena realizes that she knows the victim. Nearly as unnerving is the presence of FBI agent Dominic Allen, her childhood crush.

As evidence mounts and points to a serial killer with disturbingly familiar methods, Serena and Dominic must work to find a pattern and stop the killings before the murderer strikes again. And when Serena's own life seems at stake, she must decide if the secret she has been keeping has put her next on the killer's hit list. Can she trust Dominic with the truth before it's too late?

MY REVIEW

  The second book in the Deadly Reunions series is fantastic. When a Heart Stops is a suspenseful book full of surprises and mystery.
  The only thing is it was hard to follow along if you didn’t read the first book in the series. So it wouldn’t be a good stand alone book to read. I think it needed much more back story from the first book, but still find When a Heart Stops to be a splendid read.
  Serena is really a fantastic person, whom loves family, friends and those less fortunate than herself. She isn’t a person who puts herself first before others. I like the way she has always cared for Dominic since they went to school together, but he always thought she was just a young kid. Now he sees her differently.
  Dominic was wild in school, but with the help of an older mentor and friend he was showed the right path to take in life and turned himself around and now follows the Lord.
  I was surprised at whom the serial killer was and quite intrigued by the whole story and it kept me glued to my seat to find the ending.
 I would recommend this book to all of you suspense, mystery lovers.

ABOUT LYNETTE EASON

She is a member of American Fiction Christian Writers and Romance Writers of America. A homeschooling mother of two, she has a master's degree in education from Converse College. She lives in South Carolina.

MY REVIEW
  I read Lynette Eason’s first series The Women of Justice series and thought they were great, but her new series  Deadly Reunions is even better. This book When the Smoke Clears is a fantastic book. It was just so hard to put down. I wanted to read it all at one time, but wished I wouldn’t get done reading it. Just love the characters and the action in this book.
  Alexia is one brave woman, she grew up with an abusive dad and learned how to hide her feelings. She was accursed of starting a fire that burned her dad and sister, but it was never proved. Alexia blocked it out of her mind, so she really doesn’t know what happened. As soon as she graduated high school she left, because she felt no one loved her or cared. She made a nice life for herself, but lost contact with friends and family. As the 10 year reunion was coming up she decided to go home.
  Things and events kept happening to cause the police to believe that she was behind it all, but one officer believed in her, Hunter. He was from her high school, but older than her.
  So many things happen and you will love how the story goes, but you won’t know what happens until the very last chapter.
Lynette Eason is quite a storyteller. I love her books and will highly recommend this one.

Lynette Eason-Author Interview & Book Giveaway

Today we welcome Lynette Eason the author of several books, today we will be talking about her newest book A Killer Among Us. Here is my review of this wonderful book http://thelifeandtimesofwanda.blogspot.com/2011/05/killer-among-us-by-lynette-eason.html


Welcome to Trinity Rose’s Garden Lynette!
Tell us about the featured book A Killer Among Us?

Here is the back cover blurb:
What happens when the hunter . . . becomes the hunted?

Kit Kenyon is a first-rate hostage negotiator. Noah Lambert is a good detective with excellent instincts. These new partners have hardly had time to get used to each other when they are thrown into a grisly murder case. As evidence mounts up and more victims are found, Kit and Noah realize they are on the hunt for a serial killer. The problem is, he may be hunting one of them too.

With nail-biting suspense, clever plot twists, and a hint of romance, A Killer Among Us is the latest thriller from Lynette Eason.


Do you have advice for a beginning author?
Write everyday if you can. If you can't, don't give up because you're not writing everyday. Learn the craft, do your homework, attend online writing classes with published authors, go to a writing conference and meet people, get a mentor if you can, don't take rejection personally, always be willing to learn, learn, learn. And be wiling to put yourself out there.

How do you choose your settings for each book?
So far, I've written about settings that I'm familiar with like my hometown of Spartanburg, SC and my college town of Columbia, SC. It keeps that part of the research simpler.

What would you do for a favorite vacation?
Go to a full service resort with free wifi and my family nearby for breaks from the writing. LOL.

Has being published changed your life?
And how! I'm so busy I can't see straight!

What are your hobbies, besides writing and reading?
Traveling, hanging out with my family, playing the Wii, and just enjoying life.

What is one thing you have always wanted to do, but haven’t had the time or courage to do it?
Travel to Australia.

What do you find hardier to do come up with a character, get the scenery or the plot?
The plot, probably. I always have an idea, but fleshing it out is hard for me.

Thanks for taking the time answer questions for us and for donating a book.
You're quite welcome! Thanks so much for having me!!

A Killer Among Us by Lynette Eason

A Killer Among Us (ISBN: 978-08007-3371-1, $14.99, May 2011)
is the latest thriller in the Women of Justice series from author Lynette Eason. In the conclusion of this series, A Killer Among Us is full of the heart-stopping suspense and gritty realism that fans of television shows like NCIS or CSI enjoy. Eason brings to life the lives of a negotiator and a detective hunting down a killer in the streets of Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Kit Kenyon is a first-rate hostage negotiator. Noah Lambert is a good detective with excellent instincts. The new partners have hardly had time to get used to each other when they are thrown into this grisly murder case. As evidence mounts and more victims are found, Kit and Noah realize they are on the hunt for a serial killer. The problem is he's hunting one of them...but which one?
The pace never slows in A Killer Among Us as the story offers up clever plot twists, and hint of romance. Readers will be on the edge of their seats as this page-turning suspense keeps readers up late trying to discover who the killer is--and whether Kit and Noah will live to tell about it.

Lynette Eason is the author of Too Close to Home, Don't Look Back, and thirteen other romantic suspense novels. She is a member of American Fiction Christian Writers and Romance Writers of America. A homeschooling mother, she has a master's degree in education from Converse College. She lives in South Carolina.

MY REVIEW
This is the third book that I’ve read of Lynette Eason and I must say this one is my favorite. A Killer Among Us is so well written that I couldn’t figure out who the serial killer was. Usually I try to always figure out the killers, but was surprised this time. A Killer Among Us is the third book in the Women of Justice series, which is a fantastic series.
Kit is a hostage negotiator and Noah is a very good detective and they become partners. Both of them have things in their past concerning their families that have bothered them and made life hard. Noah is a Christian who is strong in his faith. Kit grew up with God in the home, but because of things that have recently happened she doesn’t want anything to do with God.
You would be very interested to find out how this all works out in the book, I know I was.
I like the way the three sisters in this book get along and have such great love for each other, even though they have only known each other for a short time. That last sentence is enough to get you interested in A Killer Among Us, I know I would have to find out what it means.
A Killer Among Us has compelling characters, with adrenaline rushing, suspenseful twists and turns. This is a book you would love to read in one sitting and want the book to go on forever.
I highly recommend A Killer Among Us for all of you people who love face-paced, tense books.

Lynette Eason-Author Interview & Book Giveaway

Here is a wonderful interview with a precious author and a book giveaway. So I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Here is the link to my review of Don't Look Back, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

http://thelifeandtimesofwanda.blogspot.com/2010/10/dont-look-back-by-lynette-easona-review.html

Tell us about “Don't Look Back” the featured book.
Twelve years ago, forensic anthropologist Jamie Cash survived a brutal kidnapping. After years of therapy, she has made a life for herself--though one that is haunted by memories of her terrifying past. She finally lets herself believe that she can have a close relationship with a man, when signs start appearing that point to one frightening fact--her attacker is back and ready to finish the job he started all those years ago.
Can she escape his grasp a second time? And will she ever be able to let down her guard enough to find true love?
Filled with heart-stopping suspense, gritty realism, and a touch of romance, Don't Look Back pulls you into its twists and turns to hold you there until the very last page.


Can you tell us how many books you have in print in the Christian market? Don't Look Back is my tenth book in print.

Is there a particular book among those you've written that you would especially recommend to our readers? If so, why? It depends. I write for two different publishing houses. Harlequin's Love Inspired Suspense line and Revell, a Christian publishing house based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Love Inspired books are a faster read than the Revell books and aren't quite as...intense. The Revell books are longer, thereby allowing me to go deeper into the character development and the suspense. In the Love Inspireds, I would say Holiday Illusion or A Silent Terror are my favorites. In the Revell line, Don't Look Back is definitely my favorite so far. Probably because it was really easy to write it. The words flowed, it didn't stress me out and I just love the characters in that story.

The Christian fiction field has rapidly expanded over the past few years. What would you like to see happen in this field in the years to come? I'd love to see it continue to grow. The e-book industry is growing with leaps and bounds so that exciting to see too. I'd love to see more and more people with salvation testimonies that they attribute to a life changing Christian book.

How can readers and fans encourage you as you pursue what is sometimes a challenging and solitary job? For me, I love to get reader emails telling me how much they loved the story or that the story changed their life in some way.

Many writers are also avid readers. Do you have any favorite authors? If so, could you name a few? I LOVE to read. Of course, I'm big into suspense so I enjoy, Steven James, Brandilyn Collins, Terri Blackstock, DiAnn Mills to name a few.

If you could only take five books with you on a journey of ten years, which ones would you take? The Bible, Around the World in 80 Days, Huckleberry Finn, The Negotiator by Dee Henderson and Nightshade by one of my new favorite authors, Ronie Kendig.

If you had 48 hours to hang out with any TWO people (besides Jesus), alive or dead in the history of the world who would you hang out with and what would you do? Oh, definitely my husband. He travels with his job a lot so every chance I get I'd love to hang out with him. And...um...wow, there's so many people I'd love to hang out with! Maybe Mark Twain. He had such cool quotes, I'd love to have met him in person.

What three things are you most thankful for in your life? My son, my daughter, and my husband.

What is the most fun thing you have ever done? Gone on a weeklong cruise with my entire family.

What are you writing now? I'm working on Book 1 in the new series that I sold to Revell a few months ago.

How can readers find you on the Internet? My website is www.lynetteeason.com and my email is: lynetteeason@lynetteeason.com

Thank you Lynette for this wonderful interview. I wish you much success with your next book and can't wait to read it.

My Review
This is book two of the Women of Justice series. In Lynette Eason’s first book in this series we learn a little about Jamie, but with Don’t Look Back we find out Jamie’s whole story. Jamie is a forensic anthropologist and at the beginning of the book she has to examine two sets of bones from unmarked graves. She find signs that these women were killed by the same man who tortured her 12 years ago. Jamie is the only surviving victim of "the Hero", a serial killer who tortures his victims to rescue them from the pain.
We watch Jamie as she controls her feelings with prayer and giving everything over to God. She goes from a frightened, solitary person to one who lets the Lord lead and He opens her eyes and heart to finally peace and happiness.
Dakota, the detective working the case, and a friend of Jamie and her family, he really likes Jamie and is resolute that nothing will happen to her. See how Dakota and Connor (Jamie’s brother-in-law) find clues and finally get close to find the killer. You will be amazed at the tiniest bit of evidence that can turn a case around.
Don’t Look Back will keep you on the edge of your seat and the surprise at the end spellbinding! You will find many things in this wonderful book, chilling scenes, heart stopping plot and a sweet romance , also happiness, joy, life, but also death. So something for everyone. I highly recommend this book Don’t Look Back and all books by Lynette Eason.

Author Review with Lynette Eason & free book

Lynette thanks for taking the time to visit us today! I appreciate you answering these few questions. It will be fun to get to know you better. Tell us a little about yourself.


Here’s my bio:

Lynette Eason grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. She graduated from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, and then obtained her master’s in education at Converse College. Author of eight inspirational romantic suspense books, she is also a member of American Fiction Christian Writers (ACFW) and Romance Writers of America (RWA). In 1996, Lynette married “the boy next door,” and now she and her husband and two children make their home in Spartanburg, SC.



How long did you write before you were published?

Eight years!


Tell us about “Too Close to Home,” the featured book.

Here is the back cover copy:


The FBI has a secret weapon. But now the secret’s out.


When missing teens begin turning up dead in a small Southern town, the FBI sends in computer forensics expert Samantha Cash to help crack the case. Her methods are invisible, and she never quits until the case is closed.


Homicide detective Connor Wolfe has his hands full. His relationship with his headstrong daughter is in a tailspin, and the string of unsolved murders has the town demanding answers. Connor is running out of ideas—and time.


Samantha joins Connor in a race against the clock to save the next victim. And the killer starts to get personal.


Too Close to Home ratchets up the suspense with each page even as love blossoms in the face of danger. Read this one with the lights on!


“My friend Lynette has a hit on her hands with this romantic suspense. I enjoyed every minute. The plot managed to surprise and captivate me, and the romance was priceless.”—Dee Henderson, bestselling author, the O’Malley series


“A fast-moving tale filled with nonstop action. No chance to catch your breath with this one!”—Irene Hannon, bestselling author, the Heroes of Quantico series


“Eason gives the reader an exciting ride with characters you will care about.”—Margaret Daley, award-winning Steeple Hill romantic suspense author



Is there any person who has been a strong influence in your writing journey?

Definitely Dee Henderson. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. And several others that probably don’t even realize how they influenced me. For example, Brandilyn Collins’ blog was a great asset for me.


What message(s) do you want to be clear to your readers?

That God loves you even in the tough times. And yes, the stories are fiction, but we all suffer hard times and need to feel God’s presence.


What are some of your likes and dislikes? Your hobbies, interests? Where do you like to vacation?

I enjoy being with my family. It seems like we’re always just so busy. (You saw how long it took me to answer these questions!) And it just seems like no one has time to just slow down and enjoy life. I really hate that! I love to read, watch true crime documentaries. And I love the show CASTLE even though it is a police procedural nightmare. LOL. I like to go on vacation pretty much anywhere. I’m not real picky. We go to the beach and to Dollywood a lot because my dad gets us season passes every year.


Tell us something surprising about yourself that readers may not know.

I’m not very surprising. Um…I guess that I try really, really hard to be organized and it doesn’t seem to do any good!


How do you spend your writing days? Do you set goals to reach a certain number of words per day? Can you give us a general idea of how long it takes you to write a novel?

I generally write when I can. These days it’s mostly at night. I like to write at least 1,000 words a day, but that doesn’t always happen. Then I play catch up the next day. On the weekend, I generally write 4,000 or more words. It takes me about two months to write a novel. That’s not to say it’s finished and edited, but it is in the computer ready to be “fixed.”


What are you currently reading?

I just finished Irene Hannon’s latest and Mark Mynheir’s The Night Watchman. VERY good story. I actually don’t have a book I’m reading right this minute. I’m too busy writing. Ha.


Do you grow flowers or vegetables? What are your favorite flowers?

I’m not much into either. I’m an indoor girl. I hate being outside unless it’s around 72 degrees and no pollen to be found.

About the Book:
In this thrilling first book, readers meet Samantha Cash, who is the FBI's secret weapon. Her methods are invisible, and she never stops until the case is closed. When missing teens begin turning up dead in a small Southern town, Samantha is assigned to help the local police chief Connor Wolfe find the killer. And he has two problems with that. There's her faith--in God and herself. And then there's the fact that she looks exactly like his late wife.
As they get close to an answer, the case becomes personal. The killer seems to be taking an interest in Connor's 16-year-old daughter, who thinks her dad is getting way to protective. Can't a girl just have some fun?

My Review:
I really like stories about the FBI or police, that’s one of my favorite genres. “Too Close to Home” by Lynette Eason didn’t disappoint. From the first page the story caught me. Couldn’t wait for a spare minute to read more. Samantha Cash can find anything hidden on a computer so when teen girls are missing and some turn up dead they need a computer expert. Why, because all of the girls have recently visited chat rooms. Samantha has a sister who ten years ago went through a horrible ordeal from a killer, but escaped. This book also tells a little of her story, but leaves you hanging for book 2, can’t wait. So Samantha and Connor start working to solve this case. Working together they become close and find a relationship between them will be hard. You have to read the book to find out why. Connor’s 16 year-old daughter gets involved also, sometimes when you don’t get the attention you need you try to get it in other ways which can lead to trouble. A lot of the cases turn up with no clues, nothing to give the police a hint to the missing or dead girls. So that makes them think it may be someone they know. I thought I knew who it was in the middle of the book and I was right, but I never would have thought the book could end like this. Very exciting book and thrilling, super ending. You have to read this book and you will be hooked on all of Lynette Eason’s books. I’ve read two of her other books in the past and they are “Lethal Deception” and “River of Secrets.” They were fantastic also.
