Facing the Enemy by Diann Mills

Risa, an FBI agent, is thrilled to be having a reunion with her brother Trenton.  He's been a drug addict for years and has now cleaned up.  After a very nice lunch, they are walking along and someone tries to run over Risa.  Trenton is killed saving her life.  The rest of her family and friends are threatened if she pursues looking into who tried to kill her.  So her takes a leave of absence from her job and goes back to teaching college.  All the while secretly trying to determine her killed her brother.  Her FBI partner, Gage, is still working on the case also.  It all stems back to an adoption ring stealing babies.

This story has a lot of twists and turns that kept me reading.  Of course Risa and Gage develop more than a working relationship.  But they have to keep it quiet or the bad guys will start targeting Gage as well.  If you want a good mystery, this is the book for you.

Tracked Through the Woods by Laura Scott

Abby Miller is searching for her father.  Wyatt Kane is also searching for him.  He is a federal agent who has been betrayed.  Abby and her father neither one trust him as they were almost killed when they felt he had betrayed them.

This is a fast paced story with plenty of action.  We aren't told until the end who the betrayer is.  I did find it hard to believe that Abby kept going with all of the injuries she had received throughout the story.  But it's a book. Not real life.  Overall it's a good book and kept me reading.

A Royal Christmas by Melody Carlson

 This is a book that I wouldn't be surprised ended up as a Hallmark Christmas movie.  Adelaide receives a letter stating that she is the daughter of a king to a small country.  The king is gravely ill and wishes to see her before he dies.  Adelaide thinks it's all a joke until her friend convinces her to make contact with the person who wrote the letter.  She makes a visit to see her father and learns that she is next in line to become the ruler.  Her stepmother will do anything to stop that from happening.  

This is a nice cozy read with a little bit of mystery and romance.

Mountain Abduction Rescue by Darlene L. Turner

 I enjoyed reading this book.  It had lots of action and suspense going for it.  It showed how far a mother will go to rescue their child.  Without giving too many spoilers, I did find it interesting how someone who was stabbed, then gone down rapids could do all the things that Hazel did.  I liked Mitchell also.  He was willing to risk it all to help Hazel find her son.  Hazel's father I did not like.  He was a bully.  

I recommend this book to all who like a good mystery.

Defending the Witness by Sharee Stover

Ayla DuPree witnesses a murder and is sent straight into witness protection.  Her handler is killed and US Marshall Chance Tavalla is task with her protection.  He's a fugitive hunter not a babysitter.  So he's not too happy with the detail.  Ayla isn't too happy either.  She's afraid to trust anyone with her life.  At every turn is seems like someone has found out where Ayla is and tries to kill her.  

The characters were both Christians, so there was some religion throughout the book.  It wasn't overbearing.  This was a clean fast paced Christian book that kept me reading.  It was a book that I would let my teenage granddaughters read.

This is a fast paced mystery that will keep you guessing and kept me reading. There are several sub plots in the book as well.  Interwoven is a mystery that doesn't get solved.  River and Tony aren't even aware of what's going on.  But they will.
