About the Book

Title: 70 North
Series: Alaskan Cyber Hunters #3
Author: Kimberley Woodhouse
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: October 15, 2024
Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense

The Cyber Solutions team has managed to stay one step ahead of the madman who has killed so many. From the original 26 Below cyberattack in Fairbanks to the 8 DOWN serial murders in Anchorage and beyond, they matched wits with the killer and stopped him from reaching his ultimate goals.

But final judgment is coming. And this time, there may be no defeating him.

David “Mac” McPherson has a personal stake in making sure this predator stays down for good. His family died in the cyberattack. Mac knows that God says “vengeance is mine”—but surely an exception can be made.

Surgeon Tracie Hunter is determined to stay sober and keep saving lives in Fairbanks, Alaska—even if it means being a little obsessive. After all, that same kind of determination is how she kept Mac alive after the murderer targeted him. And she won’t let Mac run himself into the grave looking for payback; he’s come to mean too much to her.

Then someone hacks into the system at Tracie’s previous job as a medical examiner and frames her in a murder cover-up. There’s no one else skilled enough to create a digital trail this incriminating—the killer is back in action, exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses to destroy lives. Can Mac stay focused and stop the next attack when his own vulnerability is exposed? Or will his need to make someone pay for his pain allow the maniac to pull ahead and win at last?

My Review

Book: 70 North
Author: Kimberley Woodhouse
Series: Book 3 in the Alaskan Cyber Hunters
Rating: 4/5

I’ve been reading a lot of books set in Alaska recently and this story still managed to be exciting and unique which I thoroughly enjoyed. The writing is fast-paced and engaging. The multiple perspectives give a lot of insight to both sides which is also fun and interesting. I truly enjoyed the action and the romance together. The author has a great way of weaving in faith elements along with humor and just enough technical terms to make the story seem authentic and relevant. I loved seeing the evolution of the main characters. I will admit that not having read the first two books made trying to understand some of the details in the story more difficult to understand, but I’m not sure they were necessary to understanding the gist of what was going on. I am planning to go back to read the first two books in the series because this story was so well written.

Highly recommend this cyber thriller set in beautiful Alaska with romance and action!

About the Book

Title: Guarding Truth
Series: Elite Guardians: Savannah #3
Author: Lynette Eason, Kelly Underwood
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: October 15, 2024

The truth might destroy them both…

The one thing that Former Army Ranger turned elite bodyguard Juliette Montgomery regrets is never telling fellow solider Caleb Styles her true feelings. But how could she? They were co-workers, and then the guy went and saved her life. And that turned out to be the one thing that cost them their relationship.

So Juliette has moved on, trying to forget Caleb—and her feelings.

Caleb hasn’t forgotten her either. But he has no idea she now lives in Savannah, Georgia…especially since his life is full as guardian of his niece, Ivy, after her parents were killed.

And then he discovers that his brilliant niece’s computer skills have attracted a notorious hacker group. More, when Ivy tracks the hackers, she endangers Caleb’s cyber-security company.

Enter his need for the Elite Guardians.

The last—very last—person Juliette thought she’d see again is Caleb Styles, let alone be assigned to protect him. And now, suddenly, the very last thing she needs is to let her heart take over. She must protect them both—which means ignoring…or trying to ignore—the attraction between them.

Caleb never understood why Juliette walked away from him…but he can’t deny that his feelings for her never died. Except maybe she doesn’t share those feelings because her only goal seems to be protecting Ivy. And, it’s probably for the best.

After all, they need all their wits about them to find the hackers and unravel their plans.

And then they discover the hackers’ true intent—and it becomes a race against time. But it too late to protect their hearts from the truth?

An electrifying blend of suspense, chemistry, and unbreakable bonds, this romantic thriller is a must-read for fans of the Elite Guardian series.

My Review

Book: Guarding Truth
Author: Lynette Eason, Kelly Underwood
Series: Book 3 in the Elite Guardians: Savannah series
Rating: 4.5/5

I am such a huge fan of this series. I was so happy when they decided to do another spinoff. This particular story was so fascinating and kept me reading until the wee hours of morning. You will lose sleep if you start reading this story in the evening. LOL. I have read all of the books in this series and they do NOT disappoint. The authors weave a thrilling mystery with nonstop action that keeps the reader guessing and on the the edge of their seat. The romantic aspects infuse more authenticity and humor into the story. The main characters are so interesting with not your average cookie-cutter backstories. The faith aspects woven throughout are encouraging and inspiring.

Highly recommend this action-packed, Christian romantic thriller with a little something for everyone to enjoy!
