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!

Hunted (Everyday Heroes #1) - Margaret Daley

This is part of series titled Everyday Heroes.  There's four of them at present.  The other three are Obsessed, Trapped and Kidnapped.

Luke is camping when he sees two men throw a chained woman into the river.  He rescues her, and they have to find out why those men wanted her dead.  Megan can't seem to remember things, and she needs time to regain her memory.  Luke is determined to keep her safe until the culprits can be found.

I wasn't fond of this one.  The characters felt shallow, and the dialogue seemed stilted.  Both Luke and Megan would make speeches frequently, so it seemed like they were prone to babbling.  For example, Luke would speak to the dog and Megan in the same speech without any transition.  There were also some mistakes (wrong words, additional words that didn't make sense) that made it through the editing process.  I loved the working dog, Shep, but he wasn't enough to make me enjoy this book.

I was tracking this book, but I'm not sure why.  I read one other title from this author, Saving Hope, and I didn't like it.  Maybe I thought the addition of the dog would make things better.  Unfortunately, it didn't, but I did make it to the end.  It's a pass for me.
