Bitter Betrayal ~ Rebecca Hemlock

 

This is book one of the Arctic Mysteries Novella series.  It starts out with a plane crash and with the survivors wondering what has happened, just in the first few pages....  Luke is being held captive and the mystery is the ring that everyone wants.  It is a very short read and leaves the reader to imagine many things going on with the story.  I was a bit lost and trying to figure out what was really going on. Because it is a very short read, it can be finished in a few hours.  I would have liked it to have more of a background at the beginning or have flash backs to what the purpose was and of what the ring is all about. 

If you like a sci-fy, dramatic adventure from different worlds, then you will get this book.  I didn't like the cliffhanger at the end, continuing the story book 2 for an ending.  Because it is so short, maybe put both books together as one full read.  It is good for teens that don't like to read long books and if you want a quick read and don't care that you will have to wait to find out the end of the story...... Overall it was ok for my type of reading, liked the drama and adventure, just needed more of the details.

 About the Author

 More from Rebecca

This book was so much fun to write. There are so many places in this world that have been barely touched by man. I took an interest in Northern Canadian culture after watching a documentary about how the Vikings first settled there.

After reading through the different artifacts that have been found there, Bitter Betrayal was born. I knew this would make a tremendous mystery-suspense story. Whenever I start a Mystery Suspense book, I usually like to add a dash of romance with a historical twist.

Luke Wilkins is someone that most single dads can relate to. He has a difficult time trusting other people. Especially when it comes to his son, Adam. He must trust those around him if he’s going to stay alive.

Bitter Betrayal teeters on the concept of how far someone would go for what they want. If you love Clive Cussler as much as I do, then this Novella is for you.
