My Thoughts
I love VeggieTales. I remember working in a Christian bookstore when they first started coming out. These videos were cute and quirky.

I was delighted when I saw that this book was available to review. I quickly agreed to review it. 

This book is delightful. There are 9 stories. Each story has a different theme like doing what is right, showing kindness, and trusting God when you're afraid. It is filled with eye catching illustrations and easy to read stories.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I heard the "voices" from the videos in my head as I read. I took it to my best friend and her daughters promptly claimed it.

I received this book from the publisher in order to share my honest opinion. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Dead Drift A Review

Author - Dani Pettrey

Format - ebook, paper

About the book:
Burning debris littering the ground . . . smoke pluming in the acrid air . . . this is just the beginning if he fails.

Seven years ago, operative Luke Gallagher vanished to become part of an elite team set on capturing a deadly terrorist. When Luke returns to face those he left behind, their help becomes his only hope of stopping his target's latest threat of an attack that would shake America to its core.

Private investigator Kate Maxwell never stopped loving or looking for Luke after he disappeared. But she also never imagined he left her or his life by choice. Now he's back, and together they must unravel a twisting thread of secrets, lies, and betrayal, all while on the brink of a biological disaster. 

Will they and their love survive, or will Luke and Kate become the terrorist's next mark?

My Thoughts:
This book was filled with action from the first page. I actually enjoyed the secondary story line better than the main one.

Having built up the characters and their relationships through the previous books, this one didn't jaha to flesh out the secondary characters much. But getting to know Luke and Kate as more than secondary characters was a delight. I loved their chemistry.

I enjoyed this book immensely.

I received a copy from the publisher on behalf of the author to assist in promoting it. I was not required to like the book only give an honest opinion of it. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
