First-Line Friday

On By vickleaIn Book Promo5 Comments

Today, I am featuring several books that I have read or that I am reading or that I have in my “next to read” line up.

Highly recommend this book for fans of clean psychological suspense. The book is intense and suspense-filled, as you can tell from the first line! You can check out my review on here on my blog page since I reviewed the book on 4-28-26, the release date: https://vicklea.com/2026/04/28/review-of-the-girl-upstairs-by-jessica-r-patch/

I am on the launch team for this book and I am reading it now. It releases on 5-26. Here is the First Line:

“K-9 Officer Maren Anderson battled the fatigue she’d been facing since driving from Colorado Springs to the Barren Valley Clinic in Barren Valley, Colorado. Grief could do that to a person.”

I am part of a book promo group for Suzanne Woods Fisher’s new book. This series takes place in national parks and all can be read as stand-alone novels. If you are interested in reading the book and joining my Zoom meeting later in the summer (date TBD), I will add you to the list for the Zoom link. Just email or DM me from Facebook. My email is watts.vickie@gmail.com. The book releases on May 5th, but I plan to give everyone who wants to participate at least a month to read the book, so I am thinking perhaps late June or sometime in July for the meeting. Bonus! The author will join us virtually with a PowerPoint presentation about the history of the national parks. How exciting is that?!?

Now, for the First Line:

“Ranger Scout Johnson was the kind of person who loved allowing room for error. Leaving ten minutes early to beat traffic. Double-checking weather before a hike.”

By the way, Baker Book House has freebies and 40% off if you order from them before release day!

If you would like to join us just to join the discussion and find out what the book is about before you buy it that is okay with me, too. Again, just let me know so that I can send you the Zoom link. I would love to meet some of you virtually!

New Release Tuesday

I have been reading as though I had nothing else to do because today is a big release day for multiple launch teams that I have served on. Since I have been busy posting reviews today, I thought I would just share a little about each book along with a purchase link if you are interested. All graphics were created by me on Canva.

This was such a fun book to read about a young Amish woman who wants nothing more than to get married and a young Amish man who wants nothing to do with marriage. Life’s circumstances force Eli to look for a wife, so…humorous and dramatic with a few surprises, too.

A young man framed for a crime has just been released from prison is forced to run from the real criminals, along with his infant and his former fiancée. The fast pace and relentless suspense captivated me in this one.

Harlequin and other retailers

A young woman in WITSEC is hiding from criminals in her job as a wildlife photographer. When it becomes obvious that they have found her, she has to run for her life with a handsome deputy who swears that he will keep her safe. This is heart-pounding suspense with escalating tension as the killers get closer to Laurel and she has to depend on Deputy Heath Calhoun to find out the truth of who is in pursuit.

What is not to love about this book? A cold case, an amish suspense and some second chance at romance, too! This book is edgy suspense, totally clean (as are all of the books that I am featuring today) and so absorbing that I had trouble putting it down. This is a must read for fans of Love Inspired Suspense!

Amazon

Thank you for allowing me to tell you about the books that I read in the last two weeks. I hope you will check them out and if you do, let me know.

What are you reading that you just can’t put down? I would love to know❣️

Review of CHRISTMAS PROTECTION DETAIL by Terri Reed

On By vickleaIn UncategorizedLeave a comment
Mostly clean read with some intense scenes and some violence

This was a very fast-paced read with action that was almost non-stop. From the first page when Deputy Kaitlyn Lanz responds to a car crash outside the Delaney compound, the action and the interaction between the main characters begins. Nick Delaney is a multi-millionaire (by birth) and should be haughty and arrogant and unapproachable. However, he is none of those things. When his friend Lexi is critically injured trying to come to him to escape ruthless villains, he volunteers to take care of her tiny infant Rosie and vows to do all that he has to do to protect her. With car chases, ambulance rides, gate-crashing weapons teams and various other heart-stopping action scenes, this book is not your typical laid-back Christmas romance. The suspense was thrilling and the developing relationship between Kaitlyn and Nick was subtle and mostly hidden for most of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed how invested both of them were in protecting Rosie and in finding Lexi’s secret and turning it over to the authorities. There were multiple surprises in the book that definitely kept me glued to the pages. I highly recommend this book to those who like a lot of suspense and a little bit of Christmas thrown in.
