Fire Storm By Nancy Mehl


Fire Storm 
Book Two Kaely Quinn Profiler 
By Nancy Mehl




Back Cover: When FBI profiler Kaely Quinn's mother is diagnosed with cancer, Kaely takes time off work to go to Dark Water, Nebraska, to help her brother care for their mother. Upon her arrival, she learns of a series of fires in the small town, attributed by the fire chief to misuse of space heaters in the frigid winter. But Kaely is skeptical, and a search for a pattern in the locations of the fires bolsters her suspicions.

After yet another blaze devastates a local family, Kaely is certain a serial arsonist is on the loose. Calling upon her partner from St. Louis, Noah Hunter, and her brother's firefighter neighbor who backs Kaely's suspicions, Kaely and her team begin an investigation that swiftly leads them down a twisted path. When the truth is finally revealed, Kaely finds herself confronting a madman who is determined his last heinous act will be her death.

My Review: Fire Storm, Book 2 Kaely Quinn Profiler by Nancy Mehl

What a terrific book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Fire Storm. It definitively was a 5- star book. Fire Storm can be read as a stand-alone but Mind Games, Book One was too good a book to pass up. The characters are well developed and well written. It is an action packed, fast paced, full of suspense with a hint of romance. The author Nancy Mehl out did herself. I can’t wait to read the next book, to bad I have to wait. It’s a time for healing and forgiving for Kaely Quinn. Her character is multi-faceted, unique and spiritual. God is pruning her life and her faith will have to sustain her through her mother’s illness, family drama, attraction to Noah and fighting an evil arsonist. Nancy Mehl hit on a hard subject of mental illness or was it just a demonic spirit. You will have to read Fire Storm to judge for yourself.

About Nancy Mehl: Nancy Mehl writes faith filled stories of suspense and mystery. She lives in Missouri with her husband and pug Watson. She is the author of the Road to Kingdom, Finding Sanctuary, Defenders of Justice and Kaely Quinn Profiler series. She received the ACFW Mystery Book of the Year Award in 2009. I personally have not read a book of her's that I didn't fall in love with.

God's not mad at you.



God's not mad at you. 

   I had someone ask me why God was mad at them, after much thought God taught me a lesson that I desperately needed to hear. He’s not, nor is he punishing you or me. God’s punishment was completely done when Jesus took our punishment on the cross. Bad things happen to good people. Hardships and trials are part of life for everyone, good or bad, Christian or not. If something terrible happens in your life it doesn’t mean that God is punishing you. The perfect example is the story of Job. Job was a righteous man, he was blameless and upright, he was a devout believer and yet still God allowed Satan to put him through incredible pain, loss and suffering. Through it all God never once explained why. By the end, Job’s one response was to trust God. When suffering go humbly before God, trusting that he knows what he’s doing. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

   God has not forgotten us; he does not hate you; he has not hidden himself from you. Not all suffering is our fault. It can be from the sin of others. He is with us while we walk the hard road. God loves you. He cares for you. The Bible says, “I loved you with an everlasting love”, Jeremiah 31:3

   Remember you are beautiful; you are worthy and you deserve an amazing life. This will pass. It will be okay and if not, it’s not the end. The best is yet to come.

The Killing Tide

Coastal Guardians

Dani Pettrey


About the Book, from back cover: When one Coast Guard officer is found dead and another goes missing, Coast Guard Investigative Service special agent Finn Walker faces his most dangerous crime yet. His only clues are what little evidence remains aboard the dead officer's boat, and the direction the clues point to will test Finn and the Guard to their limits.

When investigative reporter--and Finn's boss's sister--Gabby Rowley arrives, her unrelenting questions complicate an already volatile situation. Now that she's back, the tug on Finn's heart is strong, but with the risks she's taking for her next big story, he fears she might not live through it.
Thrown together by the heinous crime, Finn and Gabby can't ignore the sparks or judgments flying between them. But will they be able to see past their preconceptions long enough to track down an elusive killer, or will they become his next mark?
