Blind Spot

Got approved to review this at 6:30 tonight and just finished reading it at 10:30. Book 4, PLEASE!!!!

I'm addicted to this group of guys (and gals)... I love stories of enduring friendship anyway, and there's a great example of that in this series. Honestly, I can never get enough of strong friendship stories, to the point of where friends are like brothers/sisters and are willing to sacrifice for each other—and I mean real sacrifice, not the “here's a chocolate from my box of chocolates” kind of sacrifice. You know that “Greater love has no man...than to lay down his life for his friend” passage? One character here puts life and limb in peril more than once to save a friend from certain death, and I do have to say, that person quickly became a favorite character, especially as the scenes unfolded and that character was revealed as being less than happy, longing for peace and a home, etc etc. To give to another from riches is one thing; to sacrifice out of poverty another. NO, I'm not telling you who that is. You have to read the book. (Caveat: you can't just read this book. It won't make good sense unless you read books one and two to get the scoop on the friendship and the ongoing backstory of the international criminal they're trying to take down.)

Then, also, the faith these guys have. What an example of faith in action in daily life. This isn't praying for help when pushed to the wall; it's a daily relationship with God and a real knowledge of “I'm stronger with God by my side at every moment” type of faith. Get in a sticky spot? Hm, God must have a plan. This is exactly what I look for when I pick up a Christian fiction book: a real, relevant, daily faith.

There are two threads in this book: the mystery specific to this book, and the overarching pursuit carried over from the other books and lasting into the next book.

Romance...not the first thing I look for in a book, but Declan and Tanner were truly a great couple.

(But can I just say, that scene near the end where Kate gets mad—or should I say scenes?—I ate that up! Laughed out loud.)
