Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard

Elizabeth Goddard is a champion in the suspense genre. Her newest release is Always Look Twice, the second book in her "Uncommon Justice" series and I loved it from beginning to end. 

The story takes place in the wilderness of Wyoming, near Jackson Hole. The characters drew me into their story from page one and held me engaged until the very end.

The female lead is Harper Reynolds, a crime scene photographer who has left her job, to get away from all the atrocities she has witnessed. Unfortunately, while photographing a grizzly bear near the Grayback River she not only witnesses a murder but captures it on film. As she flees away from what she has seen, she falls and loses her camera. Without her camera she cannot produce the pictures of the murder and when the sheriff's department searches the area the body can't be found. 

The male lead is a former Green Beret, Heath McKade who is now a reserve deputy and a childhood friend to Harper. As the story unfolds the sheriff has Heath act as a protector to Harper which proves challenging. 

Ms. Goddard has created a fast-paced, suspenseful story that will grab the reader from the beginning and send them on a roller coaster ride until the very end.

I would highly recommend Always Look Twice to anyone who loves a good clean suspenseful novel.

When God Says Wait A Devotional Thought Journal by Elizabeth Laing Thompson

If you love devotionals and journals you will definitely love "When God Says Wait" as it is the best of both worlds. The book comes with a pretty pink attached bookmark and each devotional is made up of two pages, the left side is a Bible verse and journal space while the right side is the devotional and more journal space.

I found each devotional thought-provoking and there was plenty of room to journal. While the pages are not numbered, the ribbon marker is a nice addition to help you keep your place. 

One devotion that caught my attention had the verses Isaiah 63:8-9 and the devotion reminded me about what I have told many people in the past...that we have a hole in our heart that only God can fill. Here is the devotion:

"People can never occupy the God-shaped space in our hearts, no matter how thoughtful or devoted or almost-perfect they are. When we try to get people (even siblings or parents or best friends for life or even the love of our life) to become our everything, they will always fall short. We will still be left lonely. Why? Because only God is meant to be our everything."
     "How do you feel when you seek from people the things that can only come from God? How can you more readily rely on God to be your everything"

I would highly recommend this devotional/journal to anyone, male or female, young or old.

On a 5 Star Scale - 5 Stars!!!!!
