E-Book Review - The Cost Of Betrayal by Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey, Lynette Eason

Romantic Suspense

The Cost Of Betrayal
by Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey, Lynette Eason

-From Goodreads-

In Dee Henderson's novella "Betrayed," Janelle Roberts is freed--thanks to people she doesn't know--after serving six years of a twenty-year sentence for a murder she did not commit. But a murderer is still at large, and Janelle needs to be somewhere safe with someone she can trust. She may not survive another betrayal.

In Dani Pettrey's "Deadly Isle," Tennyson Kent is trapped on the isolated island of her childhood by a storm surge, and she is shocked when the typically idyllic community turns into the hunting grounds of a murderer. Cut off from any help from the mainland, will she and first love Callen Frost be able to identify and stop a killer bent on betrayal before they become the next victims?

In Lynette Eason's "Code of Ethics," trauma surgeon Ruthie St. John saves the life of Detective Isaac Martinez. After a betrayal leads to him getting shot and then attacked while in recovery, Isaac is now a key witness determined to testify. But someone is intent on silencing him--and those around him--forever. Together, Ruthie and Isaac go on the run, desperate to escape the killers hunting him.

Betrayed by Dee Henderson
While I really enjoyed the premise of the story and the way it slowly played out I have to admit that I just wasn't able to connect with the characters. There were also a couple of loose ends that I wish had been tied up. I liked this novella in the collection but I can't say that I loved it.

This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

Deadly Isle by Dani Pettrey
This is the story that I looked forward to the most in this collection and I was by no means disappointed. This story had all the chills and thrills of one of the author's full-length novels just in a smaller package. I was kept guessing and second guessing myself all the way through.

Code Of Ethics by Lynette Eason
It's been awhile since I've read one of this author's books, and, now after reading this novella I'm wondering why it has been so long. Non-stop action and adventure had me glued to my Kindle and desperately trying to figure out who the good guys and the bad guys were.

Overall
A great a collection of romantic suspense novellas from three of Christian fiction's talented and best-loved authors. I really enjoyed The Cost Of Betrayal and I find myself hoping for another such collection sometime in the future. Don't miss this trio of novellas, you'll be in for a real treat.

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Cost Of Betrayal by Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey, and Lynette Eason a 4.5 Bark rating.

Book Review - Taken by Dee Henderson

Suspense

Taken
by Dee Henderson

-From the back cover-

An investigator who knows
tragic loss firsthand, and his
new client, missing far too long...

Abducted at the age of sixteen and coerced into assisting the Jacoby crime family, Shannon Bliss has finally found a way out. She desperately wants to resume some semblance of normal life, but she also knows she has unfinished business to attend to. She might have enough evidence to put her captors behind bars for a very long time.

When Shannon contacts private investigator Matthew Dane, a former cop, to help her navigate her reentry into society, he quickly discovers that gaining her freedom doesn't mean her troubles are over. If the Jacoby family learns she is still alive, they'll stop at nothing to silence her.

If justice is to be done, and if Shannon's life is ever to get on track again, Matthew will need to uncover exactly what happened to her – even if it means stirring up a hornet's nest of secrets.

Riveting suspense from Dee Henderson

It's been quite awhile since I've read a Dee Henderson book, I think the last one was Before I Wake. I've always enjoyed her books and Taken sounded quite intriguing so I decided to give it a read. Taken wasn't exactly what I expected, it was more psychological drama instead of action drama, but I really enjoyed it. Some of Dee Henderson's newish books have been a little harder for me to get into than, say, the O'Malley series, but this one was different. I expected to take a few days reading the 420+ pages but instead finished it in a single day. I just couldn't seem to put it down, I was so totally absorbed in the story.

This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

Author's Website

I really enjoyed how Taken leads the reader through the events, ramifications, and emotional journey of the return of a kidnapped girl. Instead of being about the search for a missing girl and ending with a joyous reunion, Taken is the story of what happens after, what the first days are like, all of the messy thoughts and feelings, the emotional adjustment for everyone involved. Life, especially after a seriously traumatic event isn't always clear-cut. People's thoughts, emotions, and motivations are a truly tangled web. Dee Henderson has a real knack for answering and asking questions readers may not have even thought of before.

Another plus is the very dramatic cover that the Bethany House team gave this book. It really matches the story and I can easily say that it is going to be one of my favorites from 2015.

Fascinating, emotionally intense, Dee Henderson's latest is definitely a riveting story and it's one you really won't want to miss.

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Taken by Dee Henderson a 4.5 Bark rating.

Author

Reading and history have been my passion since early childhood when my parents encouraged both. I was introduced to Christian fiction around age 4-5 while listening to radio drama adaptations of books by great authors including Janette Oke. I have been a voracious reader and avid library patron ever since. I started Tell Tale Book Reviews in December 2012. I am also an active volunteer in the areas I hold most dear, library, museum, and pets. Hobbies include a small bead jewelry business, watching classic movies/ TV, listening to Irish/Celtic music, and autograph collecting.

TELL
2008-2017
Born in October, he was a purebred Alaskan Malamute. His red fur and sparkling green eyes highlighted his happy and loving personality. He loved walks, hugs, sneaking human food treats, and Milk Bones.
