Book Review of The Misadventures of Itchy Izzy by N.Y. Dunlap
Definitely a story about redemption; the only kind of redemption that really matters. Redemption from God. This is a Christian romance that is humorous and fun. Not the type of book I generally read (been reading a lot of those the last couple years), but a welcome break from hard-boiled crime fiction…
Book Review of Left to Die by Lisa Jackson
This is the first of the Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli novels. This one featured justice and vengeance, though that’s not evident until the end. Hopefully, that’s not a spoiler.

Book Review of Already in the Kudzu by Hannah Hood Lucero

This is the first novel in the Sons of Vigilance series by Ms. Lucero…
Book Review of Daughter of Darkness by Ed Gorman
This thriller features justice, vengeance, and redemption for both the main characters. An overall good read. Some elements of mystery, but mostly suspense. It doesn’t seem to be part of a series, but it was written as if it could be. I guess Mr. Gorman decided to dedicate his talents elsewhere…
Book Review of Through Thorny Ways by Jennifer Q. Hunt
This book is all about redemption. God’s redemption. The best kind. It’s a Christian, historical romance. Yes, that’s right. A romance. And I loved it! If I’m going to read a romance, this is the kind I want to read. Sure, there was some ooey gooey stuff, but it was clean, romantic, heart-wrenching and heartwarming at the same time…
Book Review of The Seven Day Resurrection by Chevron Ross
This book is not crime fiction. Difficult to classify, I’d call it a spiritual family drama. It features redemption in a spiritual sense. For some people who have had difficult relationships with one or both of their parents you could say it also features vengeance. Regardless, it’s a fascinating, entertaining, and moving story…
