Dead End was written by Nancy Mehl, and is book three in the Kaely Quinn Profiler series.
Summary: Kaely is still trying to deal with the emotional trauma of all that happened in Nebraska, while attempting to move on with her life.
But moving on isn’t in the cards. Someone is murdering innocent women, and in the same style as her father did decades ago.
Determined to find answers, she agrees to meet with her father-something she swore she would never do. But, unable to live with the guilt of more death she might have been able to stop, she agrees to the difficult meeting.
What she finds though, might just be more than she can handle, and this time-she might just break for good.
My Thoughts: I liked this book. In fact, I thought it was better than the last one because it wasn’t as dark. There was definitely a good mystery that unravels throughout the book, and the reader will get a close-up look at more of Kaely and her family’s past, and how it has lead up to present-day.
It is not necessary to have read the previous books to enjoy this one-in fact, I haven’t even read the first one, and I was able to follow along just fine.
This book has plenty of mystery and intrigue, and really helps to bring Kaely’s family saga to a fitting end.
I mean, I sure wouldn’t mind if there were more books in this series, but I felt like there was some closure with Kaely, and I liked it.
Anyway, this is a good read, and I recommend it!
As always, I would like to thank Bethany House for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you!
The Brightest of Dreams was written by Susan Anne Mason, and is book three in the Canadian Crossings series.
Summary: This third book follows Quinten Aspinall, and his desperate search for his siblings. Upon returning from war, he finds they have been sent from England to Canada to serve as indentured servants when their mother could no longer care for them.
Determined to reunite his family, he immediately books passage to find them. His employer tasks him with another mission on his journey-to find his estranged niece Julia, and bring her back to England. His reward? A farm of his own where his family can all be together at last.
Will Quinten be able to locate his siblings, and bring Julia Holloway back to England? He has to try-if only to fulfill the promise to his dying father to look after the family and keep them safe.
My Thoughts: This was a great book. I have enjoyed the others in the series as well, and I am not sure I could pick a favorite. It is definitely not necessary to have read the previous books in order to enjoy this one, but they are all worth the read.
I really liked the characters, the storyline was well-done, I enjoyed the romance, and it was a fitting conclusion to the series as a whole. I also enjoyed learning more about the history behind the mass migration of English children to Canada during this time period.
It is a good read, and I recommend it! Another great book by Susan Anne Mason.
