Face of Betrayal by Lis Wiehl with April Henry

My first review for Thomas Nelson, who provided this book to me free of charge in exchange for a review.

Face of Betrayal: A Triple Threat Novel

Just seeing the title and cover of this book made me want to grab it up! Lis Wiehl is a legal correspondent for FOX NEWS and a former Federal Prosecutor. It's no wonder she writes about the politics of DC and has 3 strong "connected" women as the main characters of this book. As the story begins the reader meets 17 year old Katie, a Senate page, who has returned home to Portland for the Christmas holidays. On page number 1, the reader meets Katie AND she disappears. Enter the 3 strong female leads: Federal Prosecutor Allison, FBI Special Agent Nicole, and TV Reporter Cassidy -- the self named, Triple Threats. These ladies look for clues to Katie's whereabouts while also dealing with issues in their own lives; infertility, single parenthood, dysfunctional family members, domestic violence, and faith. This is definitely not an "in-your-face" Christian novel. I found the entire story to be realistic and believable. There are a few twists and turns in the plot, which makes the book that much more enjoyable.

I say be sure to grab this one as soon as possible! Very easy, enjoyable read!

My Life as a Book Reviewer

I have always been the kind of person that *needs* to have a book in her hand. If I didn't have a book then I would read the cereal box while sitting at the breakfast table.

Since I teach school I am able to read a lot of great children's books. I hope to review some of those here for parents, teachers, etc.

In my spare time I am reading anything I can put my hands on! The only TV show I watch is Biggest Loser on Tuesday nights... every other night there is a book in my hand!

Having recently learned that the Sevier County Public Library is now part of the many libraries which let patrons "checkout" ebooks online, I have begun to read books on my computer. I never thought I would be one of those people who could make the switch to eReaders versus "real" books but I have. I bought my first eReader ever this week -- the Sony eReader touch screen.

Okay none of that really has anything to do with being a book reviewer but I wanted you to have a little background before you started reading my reviews! My new goal for the day I finally get to retire -- in about 40 years!! -- is to be a PAID book reviewer or an editor. Getting paid to read books -- my DREAM COME TRUE!! :-) (Actually since I have started using the internet my 'editing' skills have somewhat gone down hill -- everything is so informal these days...)

So, one day as I was blog surfing I noticed someone who was a reviewer for Thomas Nelson Publishers.. I jumped to Thomas Nelson, Inc. page and discovered how I, too, could be a book reviewer. The deal is they mail you a free book and you place a review of the book on your blog and on a consumer site! It isn't a paid job but at least I get FREE books! :-) Within a day I became a book reviewer...
