BOOK REVIEW - "GAZING INTO DARKNESS" (QUEEN CITY HEROES, BOOK 1) BY HEIDI GLICK

Why did someone try to burn down EPA CID agent Stacey Sanderson's apartment ... with her in it? Will her partner Chance McPherson ever see her as his equal? Or could there be darkness in his past that is haunting him?

"Gazing Into Darkness," Book 1 of Queen City Heroes by Heidi Glick, is an exciting romantic suspense novel. Chance McPherson is one of my all time favorite fiction characters. Also, while I'm used to the usual suspects of law enforcement, I learned getting to see characters in the EPA CID. 

One honor I had was working as a critique partner of Heidi's while I was a member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) from 2011-2014, which is my first introduction to Chance and Stacey. I'm very excited to finally see it in book form.

I highly recommend this book.

 

BOOK REVIEW - 12 DAYS BY HEIDI GLICK

 Can former police detective Scott Newton overcome his guilt and sorrow after his partner and friend was murdered? Can nurse and aspiring author Lindsay Billings earn the approval of her wealthy father? And will the Christmas Killer make "Till Death Do Us Part" be a matter of hours instead of years?

12 Days... is a Chrismas novella by suspense author Heidi Glick. It starts out with Scott's camping experience as a child, and then fast forwards to him meeting Lindsay. After that introduction, the story then jumps into high gear. Glick does an excellent job developing the two main characters, as well as filling this short work with plenty of plot twists.

If you want a nice short, 1-2 sitting Christmas story for this holiday, this one will give you some yuletide excitement.

BOOK REVIEW - HOLD FOR RELEASE BY HEIDI GLICK

"Bitterness: One will choose Forgiveness, One will choose Revenge." (From front cover)

Can journalist Jake Hartmann get his wife Carlotta to forgive him for committing adultery? Or will she give in to the advances of the handsome divorce attorney? And who brutally killed the dogs at the animal shelter? 

Heidi Glick has long been one of my favorite authors. I loved her debut Dog Tags several years ago. Her latest is Hold For Release, an edgy romantic suspense. I'll agree with what several other reviewers have pointed out - there are so many twists you have no idea what will happen next.

As the statement on the cover hints, a common thread between several of the characters is dealing with bitterness. I dealt with sadness reading the story, which is an indication of how well the story was written and how Glick had me caring for Jake, Carlotta, and her sister Rosario in spite of their flaws.

I highly recommend this powerful, thought provoking novel.
