No Place To Hide by Lynette Eason

Publisher: Revell

Series: Hidden Identity

ISBN: 9780800722104

Jackie Sellers is on a mission to help and rescue her childhood crush, Ian Lockwood, who is wanted nationally in connections with a terrorist threat.

Surely they have the wrong guy. Jackie is determined to help Ian clear his name. Come to find out, Jackie isn’t the only looking for him. Jackie and Ian race against time and capture by the FBI and the bad guys.

Together can they clear Ian’s name and prevent a national catastrophe?

Lynette Eason grabs your interest with intense action from page one and has you turning page after page to see what could possibly happen next.

Quote from Lynette Eason’s No Place To Hide.

I gave this one 4/5 stars because I didn’t devour this one as much as I have others. I was disappointed that this is where the series cuts off! I could definitely use more stories of surrounding characters. Operation Refuge needs to continue, please!

Still definitely a must-read as the third book of this series, Hidden Identity.

If you enjoy stories that are fast-paced and on the run, then this is a great series for you! She is by far on my top five suspense author favorites!

About The Book Hobbyist

Hi! I’m the Book Hobbyist: a voracious reader of all the Christian fiction and love doing it! I often find myself itching to recommend or discuss a recent book with people; however, I find fellow voracious readers and bookworms hard to find. But I know you are out there! That is why I’m here as the Book Hobbyist.

I’m a busy mom and wife, nurse by trade, bookworm by hobby. Everywhere I go I have a book tucked in my purse or under my arm. Mostly because I obviously love to read, but also because I would rather read than talk to people. I have some mild social anxiety thanks to my introverted personality, but I’ve learned social norms and get by.

I love icecream and mexican food; however, I have a strong dislike for coffee. I have a mild obsession with my adorable weenie dog. I also love a good reading challenge on Goodreads.

Fun reading fact: ultimate perfection to me is a warm breezy day in my beach chair on the shores of Fripp Island with a good book to devour. 

What I do here

In the following posts, I happily provide honest feedback on books that I have devoured and itch to share with you. I’ll try not to give out spoilers. While a decent review can seem lengthy, I do provide a one-line review or quick thoughts towards the end of each post for those of you speedy readers and busy people out there. 

Happy reading!

A Book Review: Mind Games by Nancy Mehl

*Note that this review was written based on a personal book purchase.

Book review: Mind Games by Nancy Mehl

Kaely Quinn is a gifted profiler with the FBI. A gifted profiler who uses unusual techniques to catch the bad guys, the monsters. Although she couldn’t save the victims from the monster in her life, her very own father, she is determined to prevent murders of innocent victims one profile at a time. 

Kaely comes from very unusual family circumstances. How could she not know her father was a serial killer? Now, someone believes she did know. And they are out to get revenge on Kaely, threatening her very life as penance.

As Kaely grapples with her past issues as well as her unique job to bring serial killers to justice, can she come to terms with God? Can God heal her? Can God bring her out of her own darkness and into light and healing?

Time is running out for innocent people and for Kaely. “‘Something’s coming, Kaely, I don’t know what it is, but I feel it. Don’t you?’” 

“A shiver ran down her spine. She turned off the lights and stood in the dark, trying to shake away a sense of danger. Something lurking in the shadows. Something with eyes trained directly on her.”

Quote from Mind Games by Nancy Mehl

Mind Games was written by Nancy Mehl, a Christian fiction author of more than thirty books. In this hair-raising, page-turning suspense novel, Nancy Mehl takes your mind into an imagination roller coaster. I find the main character, Kaely Quinn to be strangely engaging and intriguingly mysterious. You cannot help but to turn just one more page to find out more about her. 

If ever there was a book version of a ride-along, this is one of them. Nancy Mehl drags your imagination into the story as if you are in the conference room with Kaely discussing the case alongside her. 

I personally rate this book high on a rating list based on the following:

  1. I could NOT put this book down!
  2. The author’s ability to write in such a way to make you feel like you are watching the story unfold before your very eyes. 

Here’s the short of it:

Genre: Christian fiction, suspense, for adults only

One-line review: In this hair-raising, page-turning suspense novel, Nancy Mehl takes your mind into an imagination roller coaster.

Initial gut-reaction: I could not put this one down!
