A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

When the Devil Whistles - Rick Acker

This book has been on my Kindle for some time and I decided to give it a shot.  My TBR fiction section was larger than my Romance so I wanted to try and get a fiction book out of the way.  I got to about 25% and realized I was totally uninterested. 

Allie takes temp jobs at companies and then hacks into their computers to find evidence of fraud to the government.  She then passes her findings on to Connor, a lawyer who then goes after the companies.  I got through the part where they finish a case and then Allie is looking for another company to infiltrate.  She uses her friend to place her in these jobs and is deceiving her.  Her boyfriend is also a cheeseball.

The new job puts her in more danger but I'm not sure why.  I didn't make it that far.  Something about underwater exploration.  The company is on to her as a whistleblower and basically sics her on their rival under threat of exposure.

Just not my kind of book.  Allie and Connor like each other but pretend that they don't because it would ruin their business relationship.  I also didn't like that she was lying to her "best" friend.  I'm sure that this was a well written book, there was nothing in it that was boring, the subject matter was just not up my alley.
