The gift of friendship ~ Dawn Camp

This is a book about friends and friendships written by several authors in the style of short stories.  These stories are short and can be used as a daily devotional, short reads, encouraging reads and just plan life lessons of how friends matter in our lives no matter what happens.  Being a small, hardcover book it has a wallop of encouragement and happiness packed into a pocket book that will guarantee to bring you a smile. 

I would recommend this as a great gift book, a devotional book, or just a great book to pick up and read for a few minutes.  It contains some very relaxing photos that you can just flip through and let your mind relax to a happy place and time.

If I Run ~ Terri Blackstock

Book #1 of this series and you won't be able to wait for book #2. Terri does it again, as my favorite author, she has written another winner of a suspenseful book.  This story is about Casey, a young girl that finds her friend murdered and knows she needs to run because she will be killed next.  As Casey runs away from the law, her plan is to stay alive long enough to prove her father did not commit suicide many years ago, he also was killed by the same people that just killed her friend.  Dylan is hired to find Casey and bring her back, only when he starts looking for her, he finds more then he expected.  This is a very suspenseful book filled with many twist and turns to the very last page.

I would recommend this book to everyone, especially those Terri Blackstock fans, as she has written another excellent story.  This story will make your heart race and leaves you yelling at the pages as you can't stop reading because you must know what is going to happen.  The story does have an ending, however, leaves you in a place wanting more and you know more is coming by this ending.  I can't wait for the next book.  This is one of those books you don't start at the end of the day, you start when you have hours to read from beginning to end.

Always Watching ~ Lynette Eason

Book #1 of the Elite Guardians series and this story is one that has drama, romance, suspense, twists and turns.  This is of an all girls agency that will keep you turning the pages from beginning to the end.  This book tell of all 4 girls in the agency, however the main story line is of agent Olivia and her having to guard Wade a very popular psychiatrist and radio star who is being stalked.  As Olivia watches over Wade there are many twist and turns as she tries to find out who the stalker is. 

This was the first book I have read from the author and it will not be my last.  This is a great book for those that like a good mystery with many twist and turns that are unpredictable.  If you want a light fluffy book this is not for you.  This is a great book to keep your blood pressure going and keeps you guessing to the very end.  Great book that keeps you interested from page 1 until you read page 318.   Can't wait for Book # 2 Without Warning.

The Prophetess ~ Jill Eileen Smith

This is book #2 in the Daughters of the Promised Land Series and is about Deborah's story.  The story of Deborah tells of how her leadership was to save her people.  Deborah's story is one of heartache, pain and having to have the courage and faith to follow what GOD is telling you to do.  Her plan in life is to get married (an arranged marriage by her father), have a family and do what every woman does in her community... take care of all your families needs.  However, GOD has a different plan of Deborah becoming a very powerful leader and saving her people. 

I would recommend this book to those that want to read a great story about a biblical person that we don't hear much about.  When you start this book it will be hard to put down as it keeps your attention from the beginning to the end.  I did not read book #1 in this series but I am intrigued to do so now.  I really like the way Jill writes and the ability of her attention to details.

Blue Ribbon Trail Ride ~ Miralee Ferrell

This is book #4 in the Horses and Friend series.  As the series continues, this book is about Kate and her friends finding a way to raise money so her brother Pete (who has autism) may go to summer camp.  They come up with the idea to have a scavenger hunt while being on horse back through the trails at Kate's farm.  When the box that holds all the entry fee money and cash donations is stolen, Kate and her friends set out to solve who took it.  The mystery of who took it and why, continues through the whole book.  The book also introduces a new character that is very entertaining and I am sure will be in future books. 

I would recommend this book to young readers and any one that loves horses.  This whole series is a great read for any age.  It is meant for young readers, however, the books have such great meaning that everyone will enjoy these stories.
