Special Assignment truly conveys reliance on God for all things, unlike many "Christian" books that offhandedly mention God (you know what I am talking about?). I think Melissa and Scott's story is a very good mystery, with a hint of romance, and quite a dash of adventure. I give this story a five out of five stars for the unique story plot, the great mystery that kept me guessing, and the characters who were not wishy-washy but stood up for what they believed in. This is my first time reading a book by JL Crosswhite, it was well written, a joy to read and will definitely not be my last book by JL Crosswhite.

Well I loved the first book, I think I gave it five stars. This one, not so much. Unfortunately for it, the romance was based on reincarnation which is not something I enjoy reading about. I think it's because I don't get to really see the relationship grow, more like scenes of them now and then when the feelings are already there and I feel a little cheated.
Nevertheless, I still love the secondary characters and can't wait to read more. Zarek certainly has me intrigued and I can't wait to see who makes him turn all warm and gooey.
Not just yet, though. I appear to have lost interest in paranormal books right now, but soon.

Well, I probably shouldn't have bought this, since resurrection/reincarnation is probably my least favourite theme for books. I skipped pretty much 30% of this book about the half way stage when it went back in time to her meeting Cyrus and a shortened version of their life. I just didn't care by then. I wanted more LOGAN and Cyrus, and instead she couldn't decide if she was Logan or Sevan or a bit of both, or even the other six people she'd been previously, and I just started to lose interest. Add in that Cyrus wasn't even in half the book and I was done.
I won't be continuing the series.

I typically don't read books like this, and I'm not a big believer in the one anyway. But, I wanted to give it a try, because the synopsis made it sound interesting.
There are five different stories contained within this novel. It was engaging, and I always like a sci-fi story that's not too fantastical. The stories were all interesting in different ways, but some of the characters are incredibly stupid.
While I did like this novel, I thought it was super predictable. I knew how the majority of the stories were going to end about mid-way through. I'm still glad I got out of my comfort zone and read something I wouldn't normally read.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated First Debt (Indebted, #2) in Books

I was pulled into this hook, line and sinker.
And something really exciting happened, and as life threatening as it could turn out for them I am so happy!
We learn more about Jethro in this one and he really, really, grew on me. I felt for him so much. For both him and Nila.
As much as I would love to jump straight into the rest of the series I think it will kill me to have to wait so long for the last two books so I'm going to put it on hold until after the fifth book has been released and then get back to this passionate but illicit love story.
