Witness Safeguard Mission by Carol J. Post

A complimentary review copy was provided to me.

Witness Safeguard Mission by Carol Post is exactly the kind of fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat story I’ve come to expect from her. The suspense kicks in immediately, as two sisters discover intruders on their property and witness a shocking attack on their father—launching a chain of danger that never lets up.

As they flee, they cross paths with Officer Braydon Feldman and his K-9, Caesar. Thrown together under intense circumstances, they’re forced to rely on one another, gradually building trust while navigating constant danger. Along the way, their connection grows as they help each other—Braydon protecting them from immediate threats, and both finding ways to heal from past wounds.

Even as they try to stay one step ahead, the danger keeps resurfacing in unexpected ways, making it hard to put the book down—I finished it in under 24 hours, even with a full workday in between (otherwise I would have finished it quicker!). Questions keep you turning pages: How do their pursuers keep finding them? When will they finally be safe? And what happens once the danger is over?

The characters are especially engaging. Nicole, her younger sister Maddy, Braydon, and his sister Brandi add depth and balance, showing both the intensity of the situation and the importance of family and connection. Watching their relationships develop is just as compelling as unraveling the mystery.

With nonstop tension, relatable characters, and a strong thread of faith and healing, this is a compelling, quick read. If you enjoy suspense that pulls you in from the first page and doesn’t let go, this is definitely one to check out.

About the Book:

A family in a killer’s crosshairs.
A K-9 determined to defend.

When Nicole Woodard and her young sister witness their father’s murder by an unknown assailant, Nicole knows they’re next on the killer’s hit list. Now they must rely on Officer Braydon Feldman and his K-9 partner, Caesar, for protection. The killer will stop at nothing to silence the sisters and keep the crime hidden. But what could their father have been involved in that got him killed? With attacks coming from all sides and dangerous family secrets being exposed, can Braydon and Nicole stay alive long enough to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again?

About the Author:
From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special events decorating company, my resume reads as if I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

My books have won several awards and been nominated for two RITA® awards and an RT Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Award.

After spending most of my life in Florida, a few years ago, I moved to the mountains of North Carolina, where I write my stories outside on the back deck in the summertime and inside in front of the fireplace in the wintertime. When I’m not writing or doing writerly things, I enjoy hiking, camping, kayaking—almost anything outdoors. My two grown daughters and grandkids live too far away for my liking, so I now pour all that nurturing into taking care of two sassy black cats.

Detecting Deadly Threats by Carol J. Post

A complimentary review copy was provided to me.

It's been a few years now since I first learned about Carol J. Post and her books. It turns out that she once lived in the community in Ohio where I live. It was a fun connection to make. She has written many books and I have enjoyed all that I have read.

One of the things that I enjoyed about this book (and her other books) is that from the first page, you are dropped right into the action. She takes time to set the scene and for you to meet the characters as the story unfolds. This approach makes it a book that is easy to start reading and then to keep on reading, as you want to continue to learn more about what is going on and why.

The characters aren't perfect but they are doing their best and it makes them very endearing and I find myself rooting for them to not only find out and overcome the current issue but also to build on the connection that the reader can see blossoming between them.

About the Book:

With ruthless criminals closing in,

this K-9 is on a mission to defend.

Amateur photographer Lauren Hollander narrowly escapes a kidnapping attempt—moments before a disastrous earthquake rocks her small town, destroying her store. She’s saved from the rubble by Zachery Kimball and his search and rescue K-9, Ranger. Someone is determined to get to Lauren—but who, and why? Is it tied to her brother’s criminal past? Or are the culprits after the pictures on her camera? Under Zach and Ranger’s protection, Lauren races to discover the truth behind all the attacks. But as the danger escalates, can they survive long enough to untangle the mystery that’s putting their lives on the line?

Uncovering the Truth by Carol J. Post

A complimentary review copy was provided to me.

I love reading the books that Carol J. Post writes. They are action packed with likeable characters that just pull you into the story. They are just the right length for binge reading and with the way they pull me in, I simply can't put it down. Uncovering the Truth was no different.

Uncovering the Truth is the third book in the Canine Defense series. I really enjoy that the books have all included the characters from the prior book, allowing me to continue to follow their story after the last book left off. Don't worry if you haven't read the other books in the series (but you should), as you can jump right in and read this one as an independent story.

If you love a good mystery and an overall feel good story, I highly recommend that you check out this book (and the others too) by Carol J. Post.

About the Book:

A trail of threats…

About the Author:
From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special events decorating company, Carol's resume reads like someone who doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is her love for writing. She started as a child writing poetry for family and friends, then graduated to articles which actually made it into some religious and children's publications. Several years ago (more than she's willing to admit), she penned her first novel. In 2010, she decided to get serious about writing fiction for publication and joined Romance Writers of America and her local RWA chapter.

Carol lives in sunshiny Central Florida with her husband of thirty-two years, who is her own real-life hero, and writes her stories under the shade of the huge oaks in her yard. Besides writing, she works alongside her music minister husband singing and playing the piano and holds the position of church treasurer. She enjoys sailing, hiking, camping, almost anything outdoors. Her two grown daughters and grandkids live too far away for her liking, so she now pours all that nurturing into taking care of three fat and sassy cats and one highly spoiled dog.
