Storm Front by Susan May Warren

Fifth in the Montana Rescue series this book captured my attention from the beginning to the end. We were introduced to Brette in an earlier book and she certainly had chemistry with Ty but then she disappeared. In this book early on we find out why she was missing in action for so long. Brette is a strong woman who has been through some difficult circumstances. Brette is a photographer who works with storm chasers. When a horrendous tornado sweeps through a Minnesota town the Peak crew are called on to help and Ty and Brette cross paths again. A race is on to find some missing a group of missing people that may or may not be alive after the devastating tornado that destroyed much of the town. You don't know until toward the end whether or not these people have survived. I stayed up too late to finish this book. Some reviewers have stated that it is difficult to keep up with all the characters. It is not if you have read the previous books.  Even if you do not read the previous four at least read the first one in the series which is Wild Montana Skies. The two main characters, Ben and Kacey in that book have a huge part in this story.

I am looking forward to the next book in the series. You get a hint of what will be happening in the epilogue of Storm Front.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revel Publishing  through LibraryThing. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Storm Front is due to be released in May 2018.

Blind Betrayal by Nancy Mehl

Third in the Defenders of Justice Series, Blind Betrayal is a fast-paced novel with a lot of characters. This novel is chalked full of suspense but you do need to slow down in order to get the characters straight. The book starts off with Martin Avery, an environmentalist trying to hide from people who want him dead. You don't know until later in the book if he was able to escape with his life. Casey Sloan has to team up with Quinn a man from her past to transport a witness to safety. Their lives are in constant danger and you keep wondering how are they going to get out of the current dangerous situation alive. There are many twists and turns up to the very end.

Even though this book is part of a series you don't have to read the first two although I highly recommend as these books are enjoyable reads.

Plain Confession by Emma Miller

Plain Confession is the fifth in the Amish Mystery series. Rachel Mast is engaged and supposed to be getting married; that is if she can stop investigating a murder long enough to plan her wedding. Someone in the Amish community has died under mysterious circumstances. The police believe it to be murder. Someone has confessed and Rachel was asked by a family member to help. Despite the confession Rachel believes the person to be innocent. The Amish trust Rachel since she used to be Amish herself. She is able to speak their language and ask questions. I had no idea who the guilty person was. My suspicions ran one way but I was entirely wrong. I sure was surprised by who it turned out to be.
